Happy Giving Tuesday! If you are plugged into a great cause, then show them your support. Great people start great initiatives, which create great communities.

Next up, #3: "government funding accounts for over 65 percent of total revenue." Rule of thumb - It is not advisable that 25% of funding come from one single source.

Tid bit #2: "the average is six contracts and grants per organization; the median is three." Imagine the impact of contracts that go unfulfilled!

Interesting tid bit #1: "government agencies have approximately 200,000 formal agreements (contracts and grants) with about 33,000 human service nonprofit organizations�." - The next one is even better :)

With the Tom Foolery in congress, we thought we dedicate the new few posts to interesting insights on the relationship between the federal government and nonprofits. Thanks in advance to research by the Urban Institute. Stay tuned tomorrow for a series of VERY interesting posts. Cheers!

A HUGE congratulations to our VP Aaron Marino and his wife Cheri on the birth of their daughter Kylee!! Wahoo!
