It’s a question you hear more and more from development professionals: “what about blogs?”
Truth is, the incredible phenomenon of Weblogging hasn’t really made its impact on wired fundraising known. There are signs that user-created content, RSS feeds, and the open nature of blogs will be an important development in philanthropy – more and more nonprofits publish blogs, for instance – but it’s hard to see the connection between giving and blogging.

That’s why I believe it’s vital for wired fundraisers to be blog-savvy these days. As the Web moves into its next phase of rapid development – what some are calling “Web 2.0” – successful online fundraising and cultivation efforts will no doubt require some knowledge of the latest tools and new networks of users."

Bill proposes a database to provide transparency in the grant-making process
Two House Republicans introduced a bill last week that would increase accountability and transparency in federal grant awards. H.R. 5060 would require that agencies post
House Majority Whip Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) and Government Reform Committee Chairman Tom Davis (R-Va.) introduced legislation March 30 that would require agencies to post specific information about every federal grant award. The bill would require the Office of Management and Budget to work with the General Services Administration and other agencies to ensure that the information is publicly available on a central Web site within 30 days of a grant being awarded."
