Talk about trickle-down economics. Providence Journal business columnist John Kostrzewa on Sunday argued that Rhode Island needs to give its wealthier citizens and corporate community tax breaks so that they’ll have more to give to the state’s nonprofits.
… [W]hile the number of nonprofits continues to grow in Rhode Island, the constraints are hampering their ability […]
As “the trusted philanthropic advisor to more than 1,600 individuals, families, and businesses who want to make a difference in the lives of others through charitable giving,” the Columbus Foundation, located in Ohio’s capital city, makes a pretty good case for its claim of being “your community foundation.” The foundation strengthened its case last week […]

“This is a great service. People can stay in their homes and still be served nice meals, and this should give all drivers a good feeling. It is a good service. I believe in it.”
