I thought I'd take a break from current events and touch base with the human side of nonprofit organizations: their people. What are nonprofit folks talking about amongst themselves? What are their concerns? What do they wish you knew?

Nearly every day, I receive solicitations in the mail from a variety of very worth causes. Mixed in with offer for credit cards that I don't want, my mail box yields requests for money from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), NARAL Pro-Choice America, Planned Parenthood, the National Network of Abortion Funds, Amnesty International, and/or Habitat for Humanity. On top of that, most of these wonderful organizations have local affiliates.
