Welcome

Carolyn’s Nonprofit Blog is based on personal interests and experiences. Launched in 2011 and continuously updated, it shares my work in the “trenches” of nonprofit organizations small and large. Both wonderful and challenging moments are discussed along with more than 1,600 links to outside resources that enhance its usefulness.

Solutions to nonprofit challenges are shared in Carolyn’s Nonprofit Blog, with the goal of helping nonprofit staff and volunteers gain confidence in meeting their fundraising and communications challenges. While some nonprofit organizations operate creatively, thoughtfully and smoothly, that is sometimes not the case. Being a troubleshooter by nature, I have helped untangle some difficult situations and have turned them into success stories.

To read my mission statement and ground rules see, “How Carolyn’s Nonprofit Blog Works.” The information shared in Carolyn’s Nonprofit Blog – more than forty years of experience – is made available free of charge. You may have noticed that there are not many fundraisers willing to share how they accomplished their work for the benefit of others. I believe that is a mistake. Let’s help one another as we seek to accomplish social good and to ensure a healthy, vibrant nonprofit sector.

People of all political opinions and from all walks of life can benefit from Carolyn’s Nonprofit Blog. And please know there are no other authors nor co-authors. All rights reserved.

Volunteer Commitments

My primary volunteer commitments include Citizens’ Climate Lobby Austin Chapter, ONE Campaign, and TechSoup. These are advocacy roles rather than fundraising. Sharing a link to the ONE website below. We could sure use your help!
