"As a champion of nonprofits both locally and nationally, I realize that in this challenging economy, it is necessary for community service organizations to become even more creative in identifying cost-savings measures, such as the one the Trust provides. Such measures not only make organizations more fiscally efficient, but in today’s economy, can be necessary for survival."
