Carnival of Nonprofit Consultants #27

Lots of excellent, very meaty posts to choose from this week, including some that I didn't select. Keep up the good work, fellow bloggers! And check out these all-stars:

• The Nonprofit Communications blog shows us how to make an annual report truly worthwhile at Top 5 Annual Report Questions.
  
• The Monblog asks why the charity rating services only have facts and figures, since people make giving decisions with their emotions at Rating Charities.
  
• The Extreme Fundraising Blog reminds us to focus on our audience -- not ourselves -- if we want to motivate them at Where You Start Matters!
  
• The Nonprofit Consultant Blog looks at what happens to corporate funding of nonprofit when corporations merge or restructure at Yet Another Reason to Diversify Your Funding (like you really needed another).
  
• Getting Attention looks behind the curtain at how the people learn at Hook Your Audiences by Learning More about Learning Styles.
  
• Cause-Related Marketing looks at the reasons relationships between nonprofits and businesses go south and what to do to prevent it at Keeping Your Cause-Related Marketing Relationships Fresh.
  
• Spare Change looks into some of the ways nonprofits can meaningfully make connections with donors at How to Save a Life.
