Coming from a business background myself, this topic has always been near and dear to me, and my hope is that the publication of this book will lead to an increase in corporate giving, pulling it out of that small minority of 5 percent of all philanthropic giving in the United States. My hope is that we will see that number rise to 10 percent because nonprofits will have learned how to better approach businesses in their communities.

I am thankful for CharityChannel Press, the publishing project of the CharityChannel professional community. Stephen Nill has been extremely supportive, not only as an editor, but also a confidante and friend. I have also been able to meet so many other people I would not have otherwise known: fellow authors Amy Eisenstein, Kent Stroman and Linda Lysakowski, to name a few.  So, feel free to contact me with questions about authoring YOUR book, comments or just to say "hi."  I look forward to meeting you.

I'll use a down-to-earth, first-person style as I shine a light each week on the more notable things happening in the CharityChannel professional community. I think you'll like this more personal, conversational approach. Better pour a cup of Java. Sit back, relax, and let me be your guide.

Discussions are conducted in English.

I am pleased to report that the latest book from CharityChannel Press, You and Your Nonprofit: Practical Advice and Tips from the CharityChannel Professional Community is almost ready for the printer. At 500 pages, and with 43 contributors, 15 members of the peer review team, and two hard-working editors, this has been an example of CharityChannel at its finest.
