The Nonprofit Consultant Blog :: Nonprofit Blog Exchange - Round 4

Nonprofit blogs from around the world are joining together for a networking project sponsored by the Nonprofit Blog Exchange.

Today, I’d like to introduce you to Ken Goldstein.

Ken has been “working in nonprofits and local government agencies since 1989. His many years of senior management experience includes executive director and regional director positions, as well as consulting an serving on nonprofit boards. Mr. Goldstein has a Master of Public Policy and Administration from CSU Sacramento and a BA in Politics from UC Santa Cruz.”

Ken kindly wrote about ASCCA’s use of video to enhance your nonprofit’s Web site back in October.

Since then, Ken has kept a flow of interesting posts coming. One post discusses the difficulties nonprofits - aside from hospitals and colleges - are experiencing in fund raising. According to Ken, a recent study shows that “the growth of the nonprofit sector has outpaced the growth of the economy over the past decade.” The problem is, hospitals and colleges are accounting for 70.3 percent of the nonprofit sector’s revenue. Yet, they account for only about 13 percent of public reporting charities. This leaves all the other sectors - like disability service programs like ASCCA - battling for that remaining 30 percent. And, remember, we’re talking about 30 percent nationwide. Check out the post and give us your thoughts.

Ken also has his business Web site - Ken Goldstein, MPPA - Goldstein Consulting - where he explains the services he offers in the areas of “Facilitation, Training, Grant Writing, and Management & Program Consulting for Nonprofit Organizations.”
