Ready for more transparency, nonprofits?
The Internal Revenue Service, which serves as the main regulator of nonprofits, is giving its Form 990 — the annual tax form filed by charities — a makeover for the first time in nearly 20 years. The changes promise to provide potential donors with a standardized, one-stop shop for information on […]
The New York Times’s assertion earlier this week that "[d]onating $10 to buy a mosquito net to save an African child from malaria has become a hip way to show you care, especially for teenagers," completely misses the point. The focus should not be on hipness or the unusual coalition of partners (the Methodist and […]

Yesterday, at a local gas station near my home, I saw something I had never seen before: gasoline selling for more than $4 per gallon. Granted, it was premium, but still. For nonprofits that hit the road often, that’s a hefty expenditure, and one that appears unlikely to move in a positive direction for any […]
Our friends in the corporate world like to think they’re setting an example for us nonprofit types to follow, but according to a study cited by Simon van Wyk, founder of the digital marketing company HotHouse Interactive, "charities in the US are outpacing the business world in their use of social media/web 2.0."
