Advance Your Nonprofit (and Your Career) by Writing an Ebook
 Without a doubt, the advances of technology have benefitted nonprofits in countless ways. The ability to take online donations, web sites that inform about your cause, and donor databases are just a few of the tools that have improved the quality and efficiency of the work done by nonprofit organizations. The ease with which we can now produce information “products” has provided yet another avenue for outreach, and ebooks can play a role in this.
Crowd Funding: A more casual way to fundraise
 Crowd funding, which draws its inspiration from crowd sourcing, is gaining popularity in the non-profit sector as a way to raise money. Just like crowd sourcing, crowd funding uses media (usually the internet) to encourage a network of people to pool their money together to support a cause.
Using Technology to Keep Up with Your Industry
 The causes that nonprofit professionals support are intriguing and ever-changing. It is imperative to keep up with what is going on in your particular niche. But figuring out how to do that can be daunting. Surfing the ‘net for related news can be time consuming and it’s easy to miss the most up-to-date information that affects your cause or organization.
Are You Spamming Your Supporters?
 We’ve looked before at how to reduce the amount of “spam” that makes its way into the inbox of the nonprofit professional. None of us wants to deal with unsolicited pleas, irrelevant updates, and uninteresting newsletters. Chances are, you already have them routed to a junk folder, or you simply click “delete” when you come across them in your inbox, but not before feeling a little irked at whomever sent them to you.
Can a Virtual Assistant Save Your Nonprofit Money?
 In the past few years, the small business world has experienced several shifts in perception. Many of these are ideas that were already known to nonprofits (bootstrapping, for instance), while others are new-fangled approaches that just might have some real-world applications for the nonprofit sector. The concept of virtual assistants is one that falls into this latter category.
