If you dream of devoting more time to a cause you believe in and taking it to the next level, you might ponder starting a nonprofit. The prospect of serving your community is certainly a calling worth pursuing, and nonprofits serve an essential role in their clients’ lives. This is particularly true in domains where it doesn’t make sense for the government or private sector to provide aid.

I believe: Fundraising and philanthropy are not interchangeable terms, that the former is dependent on the latter; if fundraising assumes that philanthropy exists to serve it, it gnaws at the generous hand that has fed it so well for so long; Philanthropy is not “there for asking” nor can it be mobilized for things that have been, or are already being done; it awaits those with the vision and resolve to make a difference where a difference most needs to be made; The best fundraisers see themselv

The haze was a result of the toxic air quality, one of the country’s worst years on record. This is far from an isolated trend.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.
