News

Nonprofit Quarterly is dedicated to news about the nonprofit sector. While its target audience is specifically those who work in this sector, Nonprofit Quarterly has a lot of interesting and relevant content for anyone who cares about social issues.

BORGEN Magazine is produced by The Borgen Project. This site features news about humanitarian work around the world, specifically poverty-related topics. BORGEN Magazine has a lot of great content.

The NonProfit Times is specifically geared towards those working in nonprofit management. Their articles give good insight into how the nonprofit sector works, and I really like their in-depth reports. The NonProfit Times is a good resource if you want to better understand the business side of the nonprofit industry.

Podcasts

The New Activist is presented by International Justice Mission (IJM). This podcast features conversations with activists and leaders who are fighting injustice. Not only is The New Activist one of my favorite podcasts, IJM is one of my favorite nonprofits, so be sure to check it out wherever you listen to podcasts.

Tiny Spark is produced by Nonprofit Quarterly. This podcast investigates nonprofits, international aid and philanthropy. I’ve learned about some new causes and organizations by listening to this podcast, so I definitely recommend listening to Tiny Spark.
