Drupal for Content Managment, Wordpress for blogging and publishing. But a fully integrated suite is tough to find. Network for Good is awfully close. It leverages salesforce for its CRM, groundspring for its donation management, and and email now e-communication. And it has a social network side that appeals to individual donors. Network for good integrates proprietary services made available for Non-profits so it is different than what you are talking about. But I too wonder what the Open Source, Open Platform Killer App for the Non-profit would look like? As you say there are lot of great open source applications and services Non-profits are using.
