From Joanne Fritz:
This is an exciting time to be part of the nonprofit world. Nonprofit organizations and charitable causes are in the public eye daily, and the interest in volunteering is at an all-time high. New ways of engaging in philanthropy, whatever one's income, bloom across the Internet. New models for addressing global problems have emerged at an increased pace. The nonprofit world is unique, complex, and fascinating. I'll help you make your philanthropy more focused, and, if you work in the field, stay informed, and develop your skills.
