New Nonprofit Job Website Helps Match Jobs With People Who Care

Wednesday August 2, 2006
What is driving the interest in careers in the nonprofit world? Well, there are more than 1.5 million nonprofits in the U.S. alone, employing one in twelve Americans.

The growth in the nonprofit sector is greater than in any other employment area. Plus, the nonprofit sector garners tremendous publicity these days as historic philanthropy takes place such as the recent partnership of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, and as nonprofits mount massive fundraising campaigns to help high profile global needs from the Aids crisis to war to natural disasters.

To help staff the burgeoning nonprofit workplace, Nonprofit HR Solutions has introduced a new employment website, WorkforNonprofits.org. Employers will be able to post positions and job seekers will be able to find a wide selection of opportunities. There will also be career management tools and resources including news, articles, and publications. Charter employers at the site include the Independent Sector, American Diabetes Association, Enterprise Community Partners and Greenpeace.

For other resources and information on working in the nonprofit sector, see the following:
