The attached announcement appeared recently on the FINANCE inter-
net list, a list which is probably not monitored by many  members
of CIVILSOC. However, the project seems to offer some  potential,
and  I wanted to forward the information to list members. I  have
not  confirmed the address, nor have I collected  any  additional
information  about the Project. So let me suggest that  inquiries
be directed to the contact identified in the announcement. Two e-
mail  addresses were included in the initial announcement, and  I
have presented both at the end of the announcement.

  Beacon Project: Management Assistance to Non-Profit Managers
*****************************************************************

The following volunteer opportunity may be attractive to you.  It
would  allow you to share with nonprofit managers your  knowledge
of management practices.

The Beacon Project, a start-up nonprofit organization, has devel-
oped the E-Corps, an online volunteer program to provide  manage-
ment  assistance  to nonprofit managers.  There are  now  E-Corps
volunteers  in  over 20 countries.

We are currently recruiting volunteers who will answer  questions
via postings to a web site or via email, participate in electron-
ic  cohorts  that square off with a  nonprofit  organization,  or
submit  articles or opinion pieces to info at beaconproject.org  for
posting to a Knowledge Bank at our web site.

If you are interested in online volunteering and providing assis-
tance to nonprofit managers from your home or office, then please
visit http://www.beaconproject.org and go to our jointoday!  page
to sign-up as an E-Corps volunteer.  I must stress that this is a
nonprofit venture.

Thank you for taking the time to read this request.
