NOZA Announced Gift Alerts for the week of April 7, 2010

On behalf of the entire NOZA team we are thrilled to post our inaugural Announced Gift Alerts weekly listing.  If you would like to receive a free weekly email containing the most recent announced gifts from NOZA, please sign up at https://www.nozasearch.com/announced.asp . 

NOZA is scanning millions of web pages daily looking for newly announced major gifts and pledges to nonprofit organizations, and our free weekly email will contain a handful of those donations that our editorial staff have selected as newsworthy (paid subscribers to the NOZASEARCH.COM webservice can access the comprehensive listing).  While most of the donations included in the weekly email will be 7-figure gifts, we will also be including smaller donations if they are "transformational" donations to the particular charities that have received them, or if they are newsworthy for other reasons - for example, in this first edition, we have included the charities that President Obama chose as the recipients of his Nobel Prize award money.

We hope that our weekly Announced Gift Alerts email will help you stay up to speed with the donations making headlines around the world and in your community, and we hope that this weekly Celebration of Philanthropy will serve as a source of inspiration for your own work.
