I mean, just look at all the Community Toolboxes SSC users have created! But you may not have realized some of the different things […]

Mapping Nonprofit Project Management Tools

Continuing with our profiling of new Community Toolboxes, we move on to Amanda Hickman‘s Recycle-A-Bicycle Toolbox. Amanda is a consultant in Brooklyn, NY. She also directs communications at Recycle-A-Bicycle, for whom she created this toolbox. I recently chatted with her over email.

Featured Community Toolbox: Rolf Kleef’s Web Development Toolbox

It’s been a few weeks now since we added the Community Toolbox feature to SSC, and we’ve had some great toolboxes added to the site. I thought I would take some time to detail a few of the new toolboxes, and get some input from the creators of the toolboxes as far as what they […]
