Discount/Free Web Hosting for Nonprofits
ThinkHost is a privately owned progressive company
providing high performance website hosting services to a
global market and has a special commitment to assisting
nonprofit organizations. ThinkHost has a limited number of
free hosting accounts to offer to U.S.-based, registered
nonprofit progressive organizations whose primary focus is
environment, grassroots democracy, peace, social/economic
justice or human rights. Each package provided under this
initiative allows for a gigabyte of server space, thirty
gigabytes of bandwidth, and many other features. Nonprofit
organizations that provide a direct benefit to the community,
but don’t fall into the categories listed above, can still
qualify for a hosting discount - free setup and up to 20% off
monthly fees. Further details visit ThinkHost.com
A Single Website Unifying Federal Grants
www.grants.gov is a website dedicated to connecting
people/organizations with the federal grants they need.
There are two key features on the site: finding grants and
applying for grants, everything else is a tool to support one of
these functions. There are also registration tools and checklists
designed to guide you through the entire grant process.
Workbook Focuses on Community Connections
The Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) Institute
is built upon three decades of community development
research. Their newest publication, “Discovering Community
Power: A Guide to Mobilizing Local Assets and your
Organization’s Capacity,” is a community building workbook -
and is available now! The workbook affirms that nonprofit
organizations are much more powerful community actors
when they are not exclusively focused on needs, problems
and deficiencies but are effectively connected to the
resources, or assets of the local community. The workbook
may be downloaded at no cost from http://www.northwestern.edu/ipr/abcd.html.
