I was checking Twitter's non-profit offerings today and I came across a fabulous list of  20 non-profit and philanthropy blogs written by people of color --and lo and behold, I see that the list has been compiled by my colleague Rosetta Thurman!  Check out her Young Professionals  jobs.change.org blog here.

Rosetta underscores how few people of color are in the non-profit sector, including their representation in the blogosphere in this area. She qualifies the list noting  that a) you can't always tell if a blogger is a person of color b) she has included several Jewish writers although not all Jews identify as people of color c) she has tried not to include bloggers writing for and representing a specific cause  (like AARP). Here's the list:

 

  1. Black Gives Back (anonymous author is African American)
  2. The New Jew: Blogging Jewish Philanthropy by Maya Norton
  3. South Asian Philanthropy Project by Archana Sridhar, et al.
  4. New Voices of Philanthropy by Trista Harris, et al.
  5. White Courtesy Telephone by Albert Ruesga
  6. Leadership as a Field of Study by Lindsey McDougle
  7. Entry Level Living by Allison Jones
  8. Asian American Giving by Dien S. Yuen, et al.
  9. Marketing for Nonprofits by Jocelyn Harmon
  10. The African Philanthropist by Bahia Akerele
  11. Give Black by Angelia Dickens
  12. Being the Difference by Darius Graham
  13. Nonprofit Connectors by Antonette Artiz
  14. Nonprofit Law Blog by Gene Takagi
  15. Zen and the Art of Nonprofit Technology by Michelle Murrain
  16. Jewish Donor Blog by David Rubin and Yoav Kaufman
  17. The Fabulous Giver by Karyn Brianne
  18. Beacons on the Frontline by Asia Hadley
  19. Mission Paradox by Adam Thurman
  20. eJewish Philanthropy: The Jewish Philanthropy Blog (group blog)
It's an important list, one to be shared.  If you know of other similar sites or blogs, please let me or Rosetta
know as she is certainly hoping to expand this.
