1. Jorene Jameson, vice president and chief development officer, YMCA of South Palm Beach County, Florida: perspectives on fundraising success from her nationwide experience; the secrets of relationship-building, the sine qua non; how she helped turn one debt-ridden nonprofit into a “going” concern; the pitfalls in the shibboleth that “people give to people”; how much more donor-volunteers give to an organization than just outright donors; the lessons she learned from a flop
2. Regular feature: “Blog Beat” with Peter Panepento of The Chronicle of Philanthropy, www.philanthropy.com/giveandtake—on the blog www.wildapricot.com/blogs, its advice on how nonprofits can better use technology, and its four-part series on how to get nonprofits’ Web sites prominently seen on the Internet

4. Kenton Kuhn–on “Blacktie,” the national company he co-founded based in Denver, Colorado. Blacktie facilitates communications by and between nonprofits and their philanthropic supporters. It provides a wide range of services—including a centralized calendar, an online auction, and a network of “great ideas sharing”—through local Web sites around the country.
5. Ginny Fujino of “Blacktie” South Florida, www.blacktie-southflorida.com—on the online community she’s built, including the all-important calendar of area-wide events and links to other “Blacktie” sites nationwide 
6. Spotlight on a “grassroots” nonprofit: Tom Koziol, Senior Outreach Ministries, www.senior2senior.org—how one non-religious nonprofit in Reno, Nevada helps seniors in difficult circumstances, and how one husband and wife prove that everyone can “make a major difference in the lives of others”
7. A must-read book for nonprofits everywhere! Ori Brafman, co-author of the bestseller, The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations—on a revolutionary model for the way nonprofits need to be structured/managed/supported for success in the future
