Society Page: Groundspring, Network For Good Tie The Knot

10:00 PM Sep 26, 2005

After a couple months of murmuring sweet nothings, Network For Good and Groundspring finally took the plunge with a merger, the former in effect absorbing the latter.

We have no official take on this outside of "wait and see." Groundspring's happy-face FAQ on the matter is here. Network For Good is a larger, apolitical institution with a general mission of connecting people with nonprofits. Groundspring's mission is similar to DemocracyInAction's, helping nonprofits communicate, and it has had a progressive tack since day one -- although things have been (to keep things nautical) listing recently. DemocracyInAction absorbs periodic lifeboats from Groundspring's Advocacy Now module, which went to Davey Jones' locker a few months back; the rest of its toolset is regrettably "siloed" but it will, at least, continue to exist for now.

So, wait and see. With good wishes to the new couple and (more important) their families.
