I’m impressed with the work you are doing in the Pittsburgh area and envision the time when groups and people of good will are connecting and working together for the betterment of all of our communities –and ultimately the whole world. I love the expression, “Think Globally and act locally”.

Keep up the good works.

Like many other nonprofits, we’re talking about a big vision, but a smaller budget than we’d prefer. That said, it’s truly a dynamic organization that is highly professional in nature. http://www.azdisabilitylaw.org

On another level, I’m webmaster for three nonprofits dedicated to supporting the needs of adults and children with disabilities. The needs are so powerful, and as always, funding is always a concern.

On yet another level, I own and operate a home-based business, and have formed a think tank of people committed to helping and encouraging each other to follow their dreams.

We have one member who is highly experienced in the field of domestic violence, and she helps others start up their 501(c)(3) organizations. It appear that she would be wise to become a professional consultant to such organizations, as her knowledge of organization, strategy,funding, planning, training, dividing lines between staff, boards and councils, is extensive.

We have another member who is going to start a 501(c)(3), and we as a group are giving her ideas to help make the organization solid and successful. In addition to the person with a strong knowledge of nonprofits are several others (including me) who have knowledge of marketing, social networking, property management, small business management, and Web development.

It appears that many people who have started nonprofits don’t have a clue about organization, staff vs board, programs, accountability, etc. They are all people who started out with a clear vision. They had fire in their bellies. But now many of them need to move to the next level.

How can you help? I don’t know, however it appears that you are the right person at the right time and place to help make a difference. In so doing, many more people who are part of the vision of nonprofit founders will have their lives changed. For the better.
