Blue Avocado is a tad more than just a financial site, they also talk about a slew of things that concern nonprofits: hiring, firing, boards, meetings and more. AND their financial advice is right from the horse’s mouth, written by folks who have been there. If you find you really dig them, you can subscribe for free.

In their own words they “provide training, resources and analysis to strengthen organizations, with an emphasis on those focused on social justice and based in communities of color.” They also train you how to fundraise and offer free tips on their site.
The Chronicle of Philanthropy is the granddaddy site for the nonprofit world. They have a ton of info on grants, on fundraising, they have ideas for raising money, they have Webinars and discussions on fundraising as well as articles and information on nonprofits in general. It’s one of my favorite spots to find useful articles on grantmaking.
