Favorite Non-Profits:
We need them, we need to give to them, we need to support them, we need to volunteer for them, and we need to spread the word for them. And sometimes it really does take only $5 or a Facebook widget.
Who's your favorite philanthropist or social justice activist & why?:
All those who are actively participating in philanthropy on whatever level they can, because as Margaret Mead said: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

Now, when the economy is so frightening and makes us all want to batten down the hatches, is the most important time to invest in our communities. The services provided by our amazing nonprofit sector are all the more essential as things get tougher all over. A healthy nonprofit sector means a healthy community. We have to look out for each other on a local, national and global scale.

I know it's a cliche but Ghandi - who wanted us all to be the change we want to see in the world

Favorite quote:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. Marianne Williamson
