Here's a Tip!

Would You Like to Write for CharityChannel?

CharityChannel was created in 1992 as a community of nonprofit-sector colleagues who shared a vision to create a professional community where members can help each other by sharing their expertise with each other. One of the most important avenues for the exchange of expertise is the opportunity to write original, down-to-earth articles. CharityChannel contributors have penned thousands of articles over the years, and they're just warming up – in the next weeks and months, we're going to expand the article subject areas.

If you have at least several years of experience in the sector and a specific expertise, as evidenced by a demonstrable record of accomplishment, in any of the topic areas listed to the left, you are invited to raise your hand to join one of our Contributors Panels organized around each topic area.

Articles


While there are plenty of sources of technical information, few discuss the challenges that are unique to nonprofit organizations and institutions from the perspective of those who are operating and advising these organizations. E-Philanthropy and Technology Review™ particularly focuses on the use of technology in fund development, but also explores technology challenges faced in other facets of nonprofit organizations, such as management, accounting, and governance.



The thousands of grant writers and funders who are members of CharityChannel have contributed hundreds of articles to Grants and Foundations Review™ over the years. Articles cover all facets of grantsmanship, and tackle just about every topic imaginable.


Nonprofit organizations and institutions know that the largest category of support comes form private charitable contributions. Major Gifts and Planned Giving Review™ focuses on large gifts from individual donors, from two perspectives. Articles examine the creation, challenges, opportunities and best practices of fund development programs. They also examine the structuring of gifts to meet the goals, desires and needs of the donor as well as the organization and institution. Thus, both the management of fund development programs and the gift structure are covered. Articles are predominantly from the US context, though colleagues from other countries will find much of interest as well.


If a nonprofit organization is to prosper, it must have great clarity about best practices in governance — and have the courage and determination to follow such practices. The original articles contributed to Nonprofit Boards and Governance Review™ address the very real challenges faced by nonprofit organizations and their boards, and collectively comprise a remarkable collection of wisdom and best practices.


Few endeavors are so rewarding as consulting to nonprofit organizations and institutions. Yet the reality is that consulting, especially in the beginning, is especially challenging. Original articles contributed to Nonprofit Consulting Review™ are written by nonprofit-sector consultants for their colleagues who either consult, or are seriously considering making the leap. Topics cover a broad range of challenges, such as billing, ethics, marketing, running one's consulting office, and much more.



The effective management of volunteers is critical to leveraging these essential strategic resources by nonprofit organizations and institutions, yet is often relegated to second-thought status by senior managers and boards. The original articles contributed to Volunteer Management Review™ by in-the-trenches CharityChannel colleagues collectively provide the best practices for volunteer resources management.



We send the latest nonprofit-sector books to carefully-selected members of the We Review™ Contributors Panel. After reading the book, the contributor pens a review that's down-to-earth and practical. When you read a book review published by We Review, you know that it's been reviewed by a colleague who's well qualified and experienced in the topic of the book. CharityChannel is particularly supportive of members who publish books, often becoming the first choice of an author to submit a new book for a review. One of the particularly valuable things is that most of the books' authors are, or become after learning of the review, members of CharityChannel — and are active on the forums. Often a new book will be discussed with the author on the forums.
