Two years ago, I partnered with my friends at IPM Advancement to successfully assist Autism Speaks with a $10 million fund raise. Since then IPM and I have partnered on a few projects to save the world. I'm proud to announce our newest project: We just signed a contract to be the campaign manager for the Fayetteville (AR) Public Library capital campaign, doubling the library's size to 160,000+ s.f. and renovating existing space. Not only is it a privilege to be a part of this historic and notable project but it means I get to work again in my once-hometown, with some really cool people, right around the corner from where I started my fundraising career. See you soon (and often), Fayetteville! Fayetteville Public Library

In our ongoing effort to Save the World, it is hard to describe how much I appreciate this article. When you're considering a charitable gift this season, don't ask about the nonprofit's overhead. Ask how well they are doing connecting to their vision - and what do they need to make that happen?
