This is the grandmother of them all, so sure of itself that its domain name is "philanthropy". But it's full of information on everything nonprofit, too, with excellent journalism and coverage. You get a lot more when you subscribe, which is worth it, but there's still plenty available on their site.
TOPICS: publication | philanthropy | newsletter | fundingThe Nonprofit Quarterly, a nonprofit management journal, comes out quarterly if you want to pay for it, but will send you updated information daily (oh brave new world when "quarterly" means daily!) Its readership is a literate and articulate group, as are its writers. A lot of great infomation on the nonprofit world.
TOPICS: publication | newsletter | board resourcesCalls itself "The Leading Business Publication for Nonprofit Management" This means it has a fair number of articles written in business-speak, but it's very useful as a digest and condensation of what's going on in the not for profit world. I subscribe to their weekly e-newsletter, which they send me for free. It's a condensation of articles of interest to nonprofits, but oddly with no links.
TOPICS: publications | newsletterBoard Source is a very comprehensive resource for nonprofit boards, with books, a newsletter, and a deep site. It's even better if you're willing to pay for membership, which will allow you to access everything, but there is still a bounty of information here on boards and governance even without a membership. It's a little uninspired in look and feel (not much of a sense of humor here, and could we please not use those stock corporate photos on websites?) but I use it often. A lot of excellent reference material, but nothing very controversial. Still, one of the best sources for information on nonprofit boards.
