Who Owns Your NonProfit?
I will never forget the day I sat in a meeting with a group of leaders of a major non-profit and said to them, "OK, I want to stop for a moment of reflection and ask a question. Think carefully about your answer."
And then I asked the question, "Who owns this nonprofit?"
There was an eerie silence in the room as this group of thoughtful, professional and competent leaders processed their thoughts.

If you’re hanging with Richard it won’t be long before you’ll be laughing.
He always finds something funny in everything. But when the conversation is about people, their money and giving, you’ll find a deeply caring counselor who helps donors fulfill their passions and interests. Richard believes that successful major-gift fundraising is not fundamentally about securing revenue for good causes. Instead it is about helping donors express who they are through their giving. The Connections blog will provide practical information on how to do this successfully. Richard has more than 30 years of nonprofit leadership and fundraising experience, and is founding partner of the Veritus Group.
