Charity on a Budget

The reality of surviving on one part-time nonprofit director's paycheck hasn't hit me quite yet - but it's getting close. I'm looking at this measly budget thinking, "Well, I guess I could always sell pot-holders..."

No matter what, I commit to put away $20 per month to complete this blog project on time and without missing a single charitable contribution. I'll have to double up somewhere to make up for the last month's total disarray, but I'll find a way - because I am now the perfect example for people who say they can't afford to make charitable donations. If I can do it, anyone can.

I expect all of you to hold me to it.
