Later this month — on the 24th, to be exact — moms and dads across the country will let their kids cut school for a great cause: the annual Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day.
As someone who’s still, after nearly 20 years of full-time work, trying to figure out what he wants to […]
Certain nonprofits, observed Bridgette Rongitsch, have done a good job educating voters about the issues they deal with and motivating them to make their voices heard on Election Day. She cited environmental, choice, and GLBT groups as being proficient in this area.
Nonprofits working in the service sector, though, helping people with housing, low income and […]
With talk of a pending leadership crisis and much hand wringing over the sector’s troubles holding onto talented employees, nonprofit work life has gotten a lot of attention lately.

We’re in the second day of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament’s first round, which means we’ve already seen lots of shots of well-dressed coaches pacing frantically along sidelines, gesticulating wildly, yelling out plays, berating officials, and exhorting their players.

Kelly Phillips Erb at taxgirl responded to a meme about the upcoming federal rebates by tagging me, among other b5media bloggers, to answer a couple of questions:

Is that the same or different from how you actually plan spend it?

"You are changing the world," notes Google on the home page of its new nonprofit portal. "We want to help."

Today is March 14.
Or, 3/14.
Or, 3.14
Recognize that last number? It’s the first three digits of pi, 22 divided by 7, that magical equation that marks the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter.
