Nonprofit Online News, October 2005

When grantmaker W.K. Kellogg Foundation released their revised website at the beginning of 2005, there was already a distribution medium in use and the organisation was opposed to developing an additional set of processes for unique content generation, preferreing to derive content from existing initiatives. The foundation is now using RSS to syndicate content from various streams of information, including program news and new grants made.
