It’s Valentine’s Day and today on this day of love, I’m sharing a bit about my favorite nonprofit organization: Hot Bread Kitchen (HBK) and baking the best banana bread recipe for 150 people. It’s a love letter of sorts.
In my professional life I spend a lot of time thinking about nonprofit organizations: oversight, governance, tax reporting and explaining the “public support test” to unsuspecting people. My day to day is fascinating, to me at least! For a very long time, though, I struggled with a “mission” or theme for my own philanthropy. Now before you think that I am some high roller, philanthropy is not just donating money, it’s also donating your time and your talent. In fact, most Americans are philanthropists, they just don’t realize it. {steps down from pulpit}
