Internet Resources Surveyed in New Report

April 6, 2000 | Read Time: 1 minute

Online resources for non-profit organizations are the subject of a new report.

“E-Philanthropy, Volunteerism, and Social Changemaking: A New Landscape of Resources, Issues, and Opportunities,” published online by the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, in Battle Creek, Mich., provides summaries of and links to more than 140 Web sites of interest to non-profit organizations.

The sites are organized into eight categories, four of which involve online fund raising: shopping sites that allow consumers to donate a portion of their purchases to charity, sites that allow visitors to make charitable gifts online, sites that offer information for donors, and online fund-raising events.

The other four types are those that focus on non-profit news, volunteerism, and advocacy, as well as sites that provide multiple services.

The report is available on the foundation’s Web site.
