The Economy and Reality

It seems as if the whole world is on edge the past few weeks due to the spiraling economic conditions in the U.S. I don't believe it is the end of the world, but I do think that the current events will have a negative impact on charitable giving in the immediate and foreseeable future.

Finally, someone with teeth agrees with me. Check out this NY Times article titled "Economy Expected to Take a Toll on Charitable Giving" I believe the most interesting point in this article is the vastness of the ripples that each of the bankrupted/overtaken corporations (or their foundations) will have on non-profits that serve communities of people.

Stay tuned for more...
