As philanthropy and nonprofits grow both as an educational discipline and a field of study, the information and research available to professionals is growing exponentially, and the technology to assist them is advancing at an even faster pace. These sites offer you a top-shelf taste of the publications that will help you keep up with all the advances being made-and the setbacks as well.
- With the ease of online publishing, many organizations such as those listed in other sections of this guide have their own Web publications. If you have more specific interests, you might try these in-house magazines and newsletters to stay on top of things.
