The World of Internet Resources for Fund Raising and Nonprofit Management
Our Home Page

for many of us, the Internet has become not only a great resource, but an overwhelming resource as well.

Web browser "bookmarks" can begin to pile up to the point that confusion reigns. We at RDN want to help ease that confusion by providing a one-stop resource for links to helpful Internet sites. On this page we will categorize Internet links in what we hope is a user-friendly way. We also do not wish to re-invent the wheel, so some of the links on this page will be to sites such as the Chronicle of Philanthropy that themselves are a tremendous "gateway" to other fund raising and nonprofit web sites.

We very much encourage your feedback on this page and your suggestions for additional listings. Please send your suggestions and comments to the webmaster. Click on the logo to visit the web site.
