CAN Publications
CAN publishes newsletters, books and studies to keep you informed of the latest trends, information, and most promising practices in the nonprofit sector. Most CAN publications are free to CAN members; the few that carry a charge (including back articles from the CAN Alert) are deeply discounted for members. Our newsletter articles are often reprinted by college professors and sister associations.
In addition, our CAN Bookstore in affiliation with Amazon.com provides the latest titles in nonprofit management and leadership and supports CAN's work on behalf of California nonprofits to boot! On-site at the Annual CAN Conference the CAN Bookstore also offers deep discounts on selected titles to CAN members.
