Launch of the New NonProfit National Resource Directory
February 23, 2009
|
Pure and simple, the NonProfit National Resource Directory is just that--- a directory that connects nonprofit management to the businesses, services and resources that will help them to enhance their effectiveness and efficiency.
The end user of the NonProfit National Resource Directory is the nonprofit community. The directory is intended to provide a first place for them to research consultants, coaches, specialists and vendors who will assist them to maximize their success.
The largest nonprofits such as hospitals, art museums, public schools and major charitable foundations may already be plugged into systems that provide access to consultants. However, smaller, newer or grassroots organizations may not know where to find the assistance they need.
Perhaps they want to contract out an annual fundraising campaign, capital or endowment campaign. Or they may want to create a marketing campaign with a brand that becomes easily recognizable.
Nonprofit professionals, including management, are often trained in their specific field of service, but may not be experienced fundraisers or marketing specialists. The NonProfit National Resource Directory offers them access to a list of specialists who can create and/or implement a fundraising campaign or create and/or implement a marketing strategy, help them develop a more sophisticated board or provide succession planning, risk management expertise, accounting assistance and more.
According to Independent Sector, "In 2006, there were over 1.9 million nonprofit organizations in the United States. The Internal Revenue Code defines over 27 categories of organizations exempt from federal income taxes, including private country clubs, labor unions, business associations, fraternal organizations, and many others. The majority of these organizations - about 1.5 million of them - make up the "independent sector."
The total number of independent sector groups has approximately doubled in the last 15 years. From 1995 to 2005, the number of charitable organizations registering with the IRS has grown by 53 percent.
The NonProfit National Resource Directory provides a one-stop-shop for nonprofits looking for outside expertise. Each page in the directory includes background on one business or service with references and/or testimonials and links to websites, articles, books and blogs created by the listed expert. Listings in the directory are not rated or ranked, but nonprofit leadership can quickly review the experience and expertise of the listed specialists to find one who fits their unique needs.
