Attention Non-Profit Shoppers….
Before you buy that software – check out TechSoup. This organization gives great discounts on technology products to non-profits. TechSoup’s on-line store distributes donated and deeply discounted technology products to eligible nonprofits and public libraries. The fees are typically 4 to 20 percent of retail prices. In order to be qualified to receive any donated products, organizations must be able to demonstrate their status as 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, registered Canadian charities, or U.S. or Canadian public libraries.

One of the best website for job listings is Craigslist. This website has all types of job categories listed by city. In addition, Craigslist has categories in housing, stuff for sale, free stuff, services and forums. Craigslist has daily updates and is a great source of information for non-profits and individuals.

The Department of Labor put out a resource book that lists private and corporate foundations that provide funds for workforce and economic development programs. This resource listing can be downloaded very easily.

Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy is another place that has a wealth of information for non-profits that may want to learn more about programs and curriculum enrichment strategies that “ensure that basic personal financial management skills are attained during the K-12 educational experience”. This group has been working to address the many young people “who have failed in the management of their first consumer credit experience due to bad financial management habits”.
