Why Nonprofit Managers Must Use RSS — And How to Start: "Why Nonprofit Managers Must Use RSS — And How to Start
Go from zero to RSS expert in three easy steps

This article originally appeared on the Web site DemocracyInAction.org, which provides affordable e-advocacy tools to other nonprofits.
It's come to the point where nonprofit staff who aren't using RSS aren't really doing all of their job.

NPT TechnoBuzz: "incorporating Video: The digital storytelling revolution for nonprofits
By Jennifer Gilomen
You’ve probably seen a lot of people in your field jumping onto the video bandwagon, producing everything from videoconferences to digital stories to podcasts. If you’re just getting started, you’ll find a dizzying array of formats and methods of distribution. But taking the first steps to producing and disseminating your own videos doesn’t have to be daunting; it just takes some solid identification of your goals, a prioritization of your audience(s), a reasonable assessment of the expenses involved, and a bit of training in the technology and practices of shooting and editing."

* The 990 (or electronic reports derived from it) becomes a truly 'public-friendly' document, widely used by donors large and small.
* The governance questions spurs significant improvements in how nonprofits are managed and in the relationships between executives and boards.
* The document becomes the foundation for standardized reporting of program outcomes."
