In our opinion: Charitable giving to churches provides a great benefit to society | Deseret News
In our opinion: Charitable giving to churches provides a great benefit to society | Deseret News: The concerns about giving to churches are not just ill informed. They display a high degree of ignorance about an important part of the nation’s social fabric — one that costs government nothing and yet saves the public from enormous costs.

Communicating should be the heart of your job � Philanthropy North Carolina
Communicating should be the heart of your job � Philanthropy North Carolina: Charitable work is rooted in communication.
Whether you deliver services, make grants, raise money, advocate, manage staff or volunteers, work with the board or run the back office, your effectiveness and impact depend on how well you communicate.
