Zen and the Art of Nonprofit Technology

I like hosting the Carnival of Nonprofit Consultants. Mostly, because I get to read blogs by people that aren’t on my list of feeds I read regularly. And I get to highlight the work of some of my favorite bloggers, too.

Joanne Fritz asks the question that is probably on the minds of lots of folks in the nonprofit sector: what are we going to do in facing the current problematic economic climate? She suggests not to panic, and not to change course - keep steady, and keep communicating.

SOX First, which is a new blog to me, and focuses on Sarbanes-Oxely compliance, asks whether nonprofits hold the ethical high ground. Their answer: they may well be losing ground.

James Young, writing on Convio’s newish blog, Connection Cafe, talks about how to find, and create, influencers. What are “influencers?” Read the blog entry. It’s pretty interesting.

Marketing and Fundraising Ideas tells us about how not to ask for a major gift.

There is an interesting case study of the marketing of Tampax and Africa on the Cause Related Marketing Blog.

And Katya tells us why Seth Godin is right about people being lazy and in a hurry, and gives us some tips on how to use that.

And lastly, since I’m hosting, I get to mention my recent post on Twitter and nonprofits.

Next week, the Carnival is being hosted at A Small Change - Fundraising Blog.
