How you decide to give will probably turn on how well you see the organization using donations to serve the community it targets….and whether that means a chapter of a large national organization or a smaller local group, how you judge its effectiveness could hinge on how well they meet the community where it is. Rich Hardwood of the Maryland-based Harwood Institute for Public Innovation calls that turning outward… Rich Harwood is the keynote speaker at the Hawaii Alliance of Nonprofit Organizations conference on Friday and he’s with us today.

Men’s March Against Violence Nanci Kriedman
Every year, you may have date or season by which you mark the progress you’ve made in your life...maybe it’s a graduation date, a birthday or an anniversary. Next week, the Men’s March Against Violence marks its twenty-second year of bringing men into the active support of women and the end of domestic violence. But the progress is slow. Still, for advocates - both men and women- the path continues to move forward year over year even if the domestic violence statistics seem to only inch lower. Nanci Kreidman is CEO of the Domestic Violence Action Center. She has spent decades working to create better understanding of the prevalence of domestic violence.
Outro Music: Morning by William Wild
