Survival Depends on Collective Commitment and Deep Support Too often, fundraising is relegated to an administrative function rather than a mission-central function. Its viewed as a necessary evil. As a result, either no one embraces it as central to their job description, or someone is hired and shunted off to a corner to do the dirty work. Others dont necessarily feel a need to cooperate or support the fundraising effort.

Truly great writing is the culmination of passion for your topic. The student who writes a compelling essay for school is driven by interest in their subject. The historian who focuses on Civil War nonfiction clearly values history. The novelist writing a mystery thriller is captivated by the thought of puzzle to solve.

Hello! My name is Jas Chawla, and I am proud to be part of a team to have received an Idea Grant. To be honest, I was one of the people who majored in computer science because it was what all my friends were doing. In fact, my original plan was to major in Finance. I must say, changing my major right before my first college algebra class was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
