I'm hosting the blog carnival nonprofit consultants this week; however postings were few—possibly due to spring break? So, I decided to pull some great posts from other bloggers in the sector.

1. Ken Goldstein of the Nonprofit Consultant blog has a great post [1] this week about the importance of having nonprofits using an emotional hook in a fundraising pitch and/or proposal.

2. Nancy Schwartz of the Getting Attention blog gives Nonprofit Leaders tips about public speaking in her post, "
It's Not What You Say, It's How You Say It [2]."

3. Marion Conway—Consultant to Nonprofit's writes [3] about, "Accountability and Transparency for nonprofits" and references Guidestar's Accountability and Transparency article.

4. Hueina Su's blog entry hits home for many nonprofit managers in her post, 7 Keys to Avoid Burnout. [4]

5. In Mike Gifford's post [5], he teaches us how nonprofits can use Tagging, Creative Commons and Flickr to share photographs about their work.

6. Ali at NTEN shares about a fundraising session she attended at the Nonprofit Technology Conference in her Fundraising on the Edge post [6]. If you are interested in reading about more about the Nonprofit Technology Conference (NTC), Sonny Cloward provides a NTC blogging round up. [7]

That's it for now, happy reading!

Beyond Giving [8] will be hosting the blog Carnival next week, April 23rd.
