Giving Effectively More Difficult Than Getting, Expert Says - #1083

Never miss another interview! Join Devin here: http://bit.ly/joindevin.

He first notes that while the nonprofit sector is much maligned--perhaps because there are still problems in the world--it’s work is both important and generally effective. Philanthropy is different from investing--in many ways more difficult--and requires a unique set of skills. He also argues that nonprofits must by their nature collaborate rather than compete.
