Why do you give? A few answers.

The Nonprofit Consultant

LinkedIn.com has an "answers" section, where users can ask questions (usually related to their business or networking issues) and other LinkedIn members can post answers. Of course, I always monitor (and occasionally answer) the questions in the Nonprofit category. One recent question was What motivates you to give to charities? Of the five answers posted so far, a couple are from nonprofit experts, but almost more instructive are the answers from people outside the sector, including those who h

But that’s about to change soon when both companies are about to reveal new car models offering better fuel consumption. So what do you think?

Poem

Chad Barr

He prayed ~ It wasn’t my religion. He ate ~ It wasn’t what I ate. He spoke ~ It wasn’t my language. He dressed ~ It wasn’t what I wore. He took my hand ~ It wasn’t the color of mine. But when he laughed ~ It was how I laughed. And when he cried ~ It was how I cried. (By Amy Maddox, Age 16). The post Poem appeared first on The Chad Barr Group.
