However, we must remember that within our DNA is something deeply coded to be helpful, kind, compassionate, and focused on collaboration and community.

I like candy. That’s why I like Halloween — the only reason, come to think of it. The other day, I ate a couple of Tootsie Fruit Rolls. These are fruit-flavored versions of regular brown-flavored Tootsie Rolls. The regular kind taste like an unholy combination of fake chocolate, wax, and dirt. The fruit version is pretty yummy. While I was eating a Fruit Roll, I noticed the release of saliva that followed biting into it.

A nonprofit is more like a public company than a private enterprise in that it’s governed by a board of directors as well as its executive team. Federal and state laws require a nonprofit’s board members to assume responsibility for the organization’s well-being–meaning it can be held responsible if something goes wrong financially or operationally.

Foundation and corporate grants are a funding source for many nonprofit organizations, but since these funders are not required to have a website, your best source of information is their annual Form 990. On that document they are required to share information about their assets, board members, recent grantees, and a few details about how to submit an application (or not if they do not accept unsolicited applications).
