Gifford launches Web site where nonprofits can swap resources

Syracuse.com reported that The Gifford Foundation has launched a Web site where Central New York nonprofits can swap or sell items and services, list job openings and post information about events and programs.

Giffordslist.org is a free service for nonprofits, business and individuals who register to use it. Groups can register online.

More than 35 local nonprofits have already used the site during a two-month testing period.
“We thought it would be a great idea if the nonprofits in our community had a tool to start thinking outside the box and sharing their resources,” said Lindsay McLung, a grants manager at the foundation.

To drum up interest, Gifford is offering to provide lunch for up to 50 staff members of any organization that completes five successful exchanges on Giffordslist over the next three months.
