About This Carnival
This carnival is a collection of the best advice and resources that consultants, support organizations, and nonprofits themselves are offering to the nonprofit community through their blogs. It publishes around the last day of the month and rotates around to different blogs called "hosts." Joanne Fritz, the Guide to Nonprofit Orgs at About.com (this site), is the current coordinator of the Carnival.
What the Heck Is a Blog Carnival?
Reading the Carnival
We use BlogCarnival.com to manage our editions and that is where you can see the current schedule, who is hosting the next blog, and what the theme is.
Submission Guidelines
Would you like your blog to be included in this carnival?
Submit a recent post that addresses the theme. Go to BlogCarnival.com to submit your post using the form there or send an email to nonprofitcarnival AT gmail.com with your name, your blog’s name, and the permalink of the post (not your blog homepage).
The deadline varies, but is generally three business days before the last business day of the month. The edition’s host will pick the 7-10 blog posts he or she wishes to highlight.
If you want to be notified about monthly deadlines, themes, etc., sign up for our contributors’ reminder mailing list by emailing Joanne. Put "Carnival Mailing List" as the subject.
Hosting the Carnival
Hosts are chosen by the coordinator and invited to participate. If you are interested in hosting the Carnival, please email Joanne. Hosts are invited at the end of each year for the following year.
