Consultants list themselves and provide information about the services they offer. The site also provides advice for nonprofit organizations on how to find a reliable consultant. For example, one of their sites helps non-profit managers decipher accounting standards and government regulations. There are also many online resources for nonprofits that focus on a specific issue, such as fundraising or management. Sites that focus on providing specific services are abundant on the web.
Nonprofit organizations pay a fee to list jobs, but there is no charge to job seekers.
As longtime readers know, we periodically include a reminder in NetAction Notes about the difference between outreach and spam. Even when it's for a good cause, unsolicited email is spam, and if your goal is to build support for your cause, you aren't likely to succeed by annoying the people you're trying to reach. But not long ago we received an outreach email that got it right. This email is just to let you know about a low-volume email list we have established this year, focusing on the use of computers and the Internet in organizing for social change. ORG-C covers the use of the Internet to foster communication and collaboration among social change activists, the creation of open source, free software for nonprofit and activist users, social critiques of the Internet, and occasional events we sponsor.
