Fundraising is an important aspect of nonprofit existence. Keeping the organization’s fundraising dynamic and effective is a constant struggle. Previous newsletters have offered advice on writing a better funding appeal, discussed global and US trends in giving, and offered advice on about tapping into the $8 to $13 billion in matching gifts available, of which an estimated $6-$10 billion goes unclaimed. This month we offer some blogs that may help:

Double the Donation, known for helping nonprofits claim matching gifts, also has some cool general resources and a blog.
