Nonprofit organizations, rejoice! Grantmakers for Effective Organizations(GEO) has just published an action guide for grantmakers providing operating support -- including strategic communications -- for nonprofit organizations.

But there's an enormous need for unrestricted funding: For funding for more program-based communications; for experimentation in new communications channels; and for the communications beyond the program specific that are necessary to integrate program work throughout the organization, and build awareness and engagement at the org level.

Grantmakers, I urge you to download GEO's General Operating Support Action Guide today. It's worth a read for you nonprofits as well, to see how the funding landscape is changing. Finally!
