“Basically what I was hoping for was a spot for me, where I could actually help.”
This specific quote is from reality TV star, Josh Temple. But whether you are a celebrity, an individual employee donor, a volunteer, or a company looking for a cause to support – we’ve all said this quote in our own words at some point.
As donors, this is a popular time of year for giving and connecting with charities to support.
