The Non-Profit Internet Handbook is the definitive handbook for non-profit organizations that want to get the most out of the Internet. It is a valuable resource for non-profit organization executive staff, board members, those who fund non-profit organizations, and those who contribute time and money to non-profit organizations.
The Non-Profit Internet Handbook includes:
"If you want to understand the Internet, with all it has to offer--if you want to know exactly how the Internet can be useful to your non-profit, how it can increase your interaction with your consituency and serve to spread the word about your organization--if you need to learn to search the Web for reliable, up-to-date information on what is happening in the non-profit world, and the world in general--The Non-Profit Internet Handbook is the perfect gateway to the Internet galaxy."
