What's the secret to your nonprofit work in a recession? Collaborate, demand better pay, and check out advice from great folks like Idealist:

  • Could Partnerships and Collaboration Save the Third Sector: The folks at the Urban Survival Project ponder whether the answer to recession-based funding shortages is better nonprofit collaboration. Its a good piece, but my guard is always up a little bit when the "C" word comes around. It gets thrown around all too often without a lot of thinking about why it matters, and I'm excited to see the USP folks explore it more deeply.

  • The Idealist.org Handbook to Building a Better World: Discovered via Idealist.org's Twitter account (@idealist), this looks like a great resource for would-be changemakers. As they say its "part career-guide, part activist's handbook."

  • Nonprofit Jobs Need Better Pay: Rick Cohen writes about a vital issue for the nonprofit sector - breaking out of the mindset that the social sector should require and demand immense financial sacrifice.
