Soon, it will have been five years since the publication of the Email Manifesto, More than anything else, this Guide to Nonprofit Email is a sign of how far we have come. Five years ago, the topic of nonprofit email basically didn't exist. Five years ago, nonprofits were wasting their money on splash pages. And even with all that effort going into web sites, it was pretty hard to determine what the practical objectives of those sites were. Things have changed.

In many ways, the Email Manifesto and the work that followed was a rare example of good timing on the part of Michael Gilbert and The Gilbert Center. There was a critical mass of other communication consultants who were thinking the same thing. You will find many of their names in this publication.

I recommend that you use the Guide to Nonprofit Email the same way you would use a guide to a foreign country, once you were already there. The fact is that you are probably already using email in some interesting ways. This guide is dense. It's not padded with examples and it's not meant to be read like a report. It's meant to be read with a notebook or computer at hand and with colleagues who can collaborate on testing the applicability of the enormous amount of valuable advice that you'll find within. The Guide is meant to be applied, not consumed.
