Blue Avocado

Blue Avocado is an online magazine fueled by a bimonthly newsletter designed to provide practical, tactical tips and tools to nonprofit leaders. A small but mighty team of committed social sector leaders produces the publication, enlisting content from a wide range of practitioners, funders, and experts. Subscriptions are free thanks to our donors, advertising support, and especially due to the critical support of our publisher, the Nonprofits Insurance Alliance, a group of cooperative 501(c)(3) nonprofit insurance organizations that provide stably-priced liability insurance and risk management resources exclusively to other 501(c)(3) nonprofits.
