As the old saying goes, "March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb." Winter's abating and signs of spring are finally starting to appear. With the changing of the seasons, we tend to dust off the cobwebs and swap out winter clothing for lighter duds. We might clean out our closets, and put tools like snow shovels away, in place of our gardening gear.

I once interviewed for a job with an organization in Atlanta that sold coupon booklets door-to-door to support a children’s wheelchair basketball league. It sounded like a worthy cause, until I asked what percentage of sales actually went to the league. The answer was 7%. Ninety-three percent of the proceeds went to pay salaries and overhead for the organization doing the selling!

I recently read another “vindication” of a nonprofit that had been subject to a media expose.
