http://nonprofit.about.com/od/resources/tp/toppubs.htm List of organizations on list (with descriptions and urls)
1. The Chronicle of Philanthropy
http://philanthropy.com/section/Home/172
This bi-‐weekly newspaper is packed with useful information, from the latest news about philanthropy to management to fundraising and more. It is a prime source of job listings as well.
2. The Chronicle of Higher Education http://chronicle.com
If you are in higher education, you may prefer the Chronicle of Philanthropy's sister publication. The Chronicle of Higher Education is a lively, weekly collection of timely information for those in colleges and universities. It is also the premier source for job listings in the industry.
The only problem with either of the Chronicles is that they are so fat and full of relevant information, it is hard to get through one of them before the next shows up.
3. Stanford Social Innovation Review http://www.ssireview.org/
Strategies, tools, and ideas for nonprofits, foundations, and socially responsible businesses. One of my favorite publications and one I read immediately upon receiving. Published quarterly by the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University.
4. The Nonprofit Quarterly
http://www.nonprofitquarterly.org/
This quarterly magazine is a good place to turn for in-‐depth discussion of key issues facing the nonprofit community. Very research based, the longer publication cycle allows for editorial review and more detail about any given issue.
Calling itself a "cross between a journal and a magazine," The Quarterly strives to give balanced coverage, context, and various viewpoints about the role of the nonprofit sector.
5. The NonProfit Times www.thenonprofittimes.com/
The Times takes a "business" approach to the nonprofit world. Laced with advertising, it is free to full-‐time U.S. nonprofit executives. The Times is a tabloid and is written in a breezy style that is refreshing. The Times is published approximately every two weeks.
6. Contributions Magazine: The How-To Source for Nonprofit Professionals http://www.contributionsmagazine.com/
This magazine publishes every two months and is a good source of practical tips and advice on a broad array of fundraising topics.
The magazine's website has a "How-‐to" library that is accessible to non-‐subscribers. These are articles that have previously appeared in the magazine. Very useful resource.
7. Grassroots Fundraising Journal http://www.grassrootsfundraising.org
This bi-‐monthly journal/magazine has been around since the 1980s and provides practical tips on fundraising at the grassroots level. Happily serves the smaller organization with a strong bent to social justice issues
