		<description><![CDATA[As I work on my organization&#8217;s spring fundraising campaign, my mind is on those people for whom fundraising feels like a terrifying venture.

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I had the pleasure of participating in an impromptu service project taking place at the Boston Memorial Run in Raleigh. I’d gathered some friends a few days before to whip up a website and gather paper, markers, and other supplies, and the project &#8211; “Triangle Loves Boston” &#8211; was born. It consisted of asking people to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There has been a long gap in posts on this blog, partially because during the Fall of 2011 I was utterly overwhelmed wrapping up my final semester of the Masters in Public Administration / Nonprofit Management program. The other reason, however, was that I felt like I had nothing to say. When you&#8217;re so busy, [...]]]></description>
