When your organization develops a new tagline, designs a new logo, or publishes a great annual report (perhaps with the help of Mission Minded), often the next question is about protecting your intellectual property.

Kate Spelman offers a good overview of nonprofit copyright issues in the most recent issue of Blue Avocado. It’s a good basic primer for any nonprofit professional.
Of particular note is her discussion of Creative Commons, an alternative to traditional copyright and an approach favored by Mission Minded.
