nonprofits

The concept of giving circles is out there, and gaining popularity, and there's a site trying to coordinate them: http://www.givingcircles.org/

Annual reports are to be filed on or before November 1st of each year: http://www.mass.gov/sec/cor/Functionality/annualreport.htm

Minutes for at least annual meetings must be kept, and available at request, but are not filed anywhere. We should publish these online.

Proposed for the 2010 Boston Skillshare, http://www.bostonskillshare.org/2010

workshop title Start and grow an online presence
short name Working the Web

Benjamin Melançon and others from Agaric Design Collective

Learn how to start a free, cheap, or expensive web site; learn how to increase what you can do on the web; learn basic online strategy and resources available.

We at Agaric consider nonprofit organizations to be one of our core constituencies, although a majority of our work is probably for groups without official 501c3 nonprofit status, for businesses, and for individuals. We try to stay in tune with the needs of organizations for good, whatever their tax filing status.
