A Reminder of the Inspirational Power of Nonprofit Work

Nonprofiteers, why do you do what you do? Jeremy Gregg, who blogs at the Raiser’s Razor, posed that question recently in what he called his Philanthropassion Contest, and the responses he got were terrific, energizing reminders of the powerful lure of mission-driven work. Gregg culled the most eye-opening comments and posted them, along with his winner, here. I won’t steal his thunder by telling you who won and why; go there yourself and check out all of the thoughts sent in by his readers. Many will inspire you, which is great; some may even help you do your jobs better, by giving you motivation as well as insights into why your donors and volunteers support your organization. | 501(c)
