If you don’t think that donors pay attention to how your nonprofit spends the money they give, think again. Check out this piece in the Daily Times of Salisbury, Maryland, on the success Lower Eastern Shore charities have had in funneling an atypically large percentage of their donations to their mission-oriented activities:

The last time Canada enacted legislation governing nonprofits, reports the Law Times, “Henry Ford’s Model T was still making inroads, coal was king, and business was a paper-intensive exercise.”
Federal and provincial governments in Canada are now considering bringing nonprofit law into the digital age, and not a moment too soon.
