What is a Frequently Asked Questions File (FAQ)?

Summary:

In this case, an archive of interesting online discussions and resource files prepared for this site by various contributors.

The formats and goals of Frequently Asked Questions files (FAQs) vary widely.

This "Nonprofit FAQ" represents an amalgam from two principal sources. One is questions that have been asked and answered in the newsgroup soc.org.nonprofit and its counterpart mailing list NONPROFIT or in other online discussion venues where nonprofit issues and information are a focus. Other parts of the FAQ have been written at one sitting by a contributor with experience on the topic as it arises in the context of nonprofit organizations.

The Nonprofit FAQ is maintained by Putnam Barber, Editor, Action Without Borders -- http://www.idealist.org

The World-Wide Web address (URL) for the Nonprofit FAQ is http://www.nonprofits.org/npofaq. Information about the NONPROFIT mailing list is at http://www.nonprofits.org/npofaq/15/04.html.
