Carnival of Nonprofit Consultants

This week's Carnival of Nonprofit Consultants was an open call that brings some good posts, as always:

• Nancy Schwartz of Getting Attention offers advice on how to use contests to nurture loyalty and involvement.

• On a related note, Kivi Leroux Miller at the Nonprofit Communications blog suggests ways that your organization can stand out from the crowd in applying for the American Express Members Project.com contest.

• Soha El-Borno of Wild Apricot has some great suggestions for using online tools to collaborate with nonprofit board members.

• From Katya Andresen at Getting to the Point comes some ideas and examples for getting out of the outreach rut.

• Jeff Brooks of Donor Power suggests that your fundraising efforts will fare better when you remove "offending donors" from your list of things to avoid.

• Paul Jones dissects Unicef's recent celebrity marketing campaign in this post at his Cause-Related Marketing blog.

• Ann Bares of Compensation Force has some advice on how to more directly involve supervisors in managing compensation in your organization.

And finally, your bonus post from me--More People isn't Always the Answer.

Enjoy all these great posts. Next week's carnival is being hosted by Data-Scribe. And keep track of the Carnival no matter who's hosting by signing up for the Carnival feed.
