October 2004 Community Crusade - Craigslist FoundationThis October, KUSF's Community Crusade celebrates the work of the Craigslist Foundation. The Craigslist Foundation helps emerging nonprofit organizations to get established, gain visibility, attract potential donors, and develop the skills and knowledge required for long-term success.
This month, Craigslist Foundation is producing its first Nonprofit Boot Camp. The Nonprofit Boot Camp is a day-long event designed to help nonprofit leaders develop new skills for marketing and running their organizations, build relationships with potential donors and volunteers, and strengthen ties within the nonprofit community.
The event will include a Nonprofit Conference designed to inform, instruct and entertain, a VIP Reception for networking with philanthropists, foundation directors and journalists, and a Community Bash to dance and celebrate with other members of the Craigslist Community.
You can get involved with this important work by making a contribution, donating items such as computers and office equipment or by volunteering your time and experience. For further information about the Craiglist Foundation or the Non-Profit Boot Camp, visit www.craigslistfoundation.org.
October 2004 Community Crusade - Action Without BordersThis October, KUSF's Community Crusade highlights the work of Action Without Borders. Action Without Borders was founded in 1995 to build a network of neighborhood Contact Centers to provide a one-stop shop for volunteer opportunities and nonprofit services in communities around the world.
Responding to the fact that there was no single directory that would make all the nonprofit resources available on the Internet easily accessible to all, Action Without Borders set out to find every nonprofit site on the Web, and to arrange these resources into a virtual Contact Center.
A few months later, they developed a Web-based system that would allow any nonprofit or community organization - whether it has a website or not - to have a presence on the Web through which to promote its mission and activities.Ê This new system was ingeniously named "the Idealist".
Since then, the Idealist has become one of the most popular communities of nonprofit and volunteering resources on the Web, with information provided by over 40,000 organizations in 165 countries, and thousands of users every day. To tap into the tremendous resources of the Idealist and Action Without Borders, or to help them expand their work, visit www.idealist.org.
