I follow a lot of blogs — around 250. Almost all have some connection with fundraising, though some rather distantly.
These are the blogs I most often find inspiration, good ideas, or smart thinking. If you want a great education in fundraising, these are the top blogs to follow:
There are a lot of other really excellent blogs I’ve not listed here. If you are the author (or big fan) of a fundraising/marketing blog that’s not on this list, let us know in the comments!
Hi Jeff – great list! I’m a long time reader, and always enjoy your posts. I write about fundraising weekly, and one of my favourite themes is big gifts for smaller shops – I’d love it if you had a minute to check it out: http://www.blueskyphilanthropy.com/blog. Thanks for all the great value you share, and happy new year!

Hey Jeff, I love your blog. I blog on fundraising in a church setting at http://www.thealmoner.com. I also just published a book on fundraising in church called Letters from the Almoner, which you can find on Amazon. Thanks!

Jeff,
Solid list, as always. I believe I too am following most, if not all, of those.
A little shameless plug for our fundraising blog, The Stelter Insights Blog https://blog.stelter.com, as readership grew a ton this year. It’s no surprise that we focus on planned giving, but also cover quite a bit of other real life fundraising challenges and provide general, practical ideas for fundraisers to become better at their jobs. Enjoy!

The future of fundraising is not about social media, online video, or SEM. It’s not about any technology, medium, or technique. It’s about donors. If you need to raise funds from donors, you need to study them, respect them, and build everything you do around them. And the future? It’s already here. More.
Jeff Brooks has been serving the nonprofit community for more than 35 years and blogging about it since 2005. He considers fundraising the most noble of pursuits and hopes you’ll join him in that opinion. You can reach him at jeff [at] jeff-brooks [dot] com. More.
