| As you probably know, Idealist.org has done tremendous things for civil society over the years. Their directories, job fairs, the Nonprofit FAQ, and many more projects have touched the lives and careers of tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people working for social change. Their model for supporting most of this was classified ads for nonprofit jobs. During this economic downturn, that revenue has slowed to a trickle. They need our help to weather this recession.
I'm a big believer in the organizations, like Idealist, that help make our sector successful. I am familiar with every business model for this work. They are all very hard to fund. The fact that Idealist has made it work and at the same time done so much for so many is a remarkable thing.
I have only once before asked you, as a reader of Nonprofit Online News to support another organization. But when I do, it's because it really matters - not just to one part of civil society or another, but to every part. Please take a moment to visit Idealist, read what they are facing, and make a donation of whatever size you can manage.
And pass it on.
