Kivi's Nonprofit Communications Blog

You’ll find this week’s edition of the Carnival of Nonprofit Consultants at Donor Power Blog. Jeff asked for posts related to “in like a lion” in honor of March finally arriving. See what he came up with. Next week the Carnival moves to the Southern Hemisphere with Priscilla at Solidariti.

If you are new to this blog, you may be wondering, “What the heck is the Carnival of Nonprofit Consultants?” It’s a weekly round-up of some of the best posts in the nonprofit blogosphere. It moves from host to host each week, with Nonprofit Communications as its home base. All subscribers to my blog also get the Carnival update messages like this one. If you want only the carnival updates and not my blog, you can subscribe to a separate feed just for the Carnival. If you’d like your own blog posts to be considered for inclusion, you can sign up for our contributors email reminder list. You do not have to be a consultant or a nonprofit to participate — you simply need to blog on topics of interest to people working in the nonprofit sector.

This week’s Carnival of Nonprofit Consultants is up at Perspectives from the Pipeline. Rosetta asked bloggers to share their one big idea for making the nonprofit sector better. See what people said here.

Next week the Carnival moves to Donor Power Blog, with host Jeff Brooks on March 3. In honor of it (finally) being March, Jeff will especially honor posts that include “in like a lion.” That can be literally the phrase, or just the idea, or something that metaphorically resonates with the concept of “in like a lion.” You’ve got your Carnival challenge — start blogging!

Bryan Miller at Giving in a Digital World has posted this week’s edition of the Carnival of Nonprofit Consultants on how nonprofits can use Web 2.0 tools. You’ll find posts on figuring out whether social networking is right for you, what to do next if you decide that it is, raising money online, and more.

Next week the Carnival travels back to the U.S. for a stop at Perspectives from the Pipeline with Rosetta Thurman. See you there!

This week’s edition of the Carnival of Nonprofit Consultants is now up at Spare Change, with a focus on nonprofits and marketing. You’ll find lots of thought-provoking posts this week.

Next week, the Carnival goes back overseas for a visit with Bryan Miller in London at Giving in a Digital World. Bryan’s theme will be “Creating and developing online supporter communities through Web 2.0″ If you’ve got something to say on that topic (and it seems  we all do!) be sure to submit your post for Bryan’s consideration.

The Carnival of Nonprofit Consultants is up this week at Bamboo Project. Michele’s theme was personal and professional development, so you’ll find some great posts on how to get more done without driving yourself crazy.

Next week the Carnival swings on over to Spare Change where Nedra prefers posts related to nonprofits and marketing (social marketing especially). See you there!
