"It’s the responsibility of 501(c)(3) organizations to further the greater common good - to create positive impacts that make us all a little better off. Is it possible for an organization to choose sides in the political world and still serve everyone? In my limited experience, I have to answer 'absolutely not.' Which makes me all the more proud to be part of team that supports keeping politics out of charitable work." - Naomi Botkin, CN! AD
