I remember the first time I asked someone for money. The first few times I asked for money--heck, the first few years--it felt awkward. I've noticed that the more time I spend fundraising as part of my job, the more comfortable I get talking about money. Money has become a currency of my work. But it also felt amazing.

A blog post done by The Borgen Project , a Seattle-based organization that works to address poverty and hunger, asserts that that there are multiple ways nonprofit work contributes to the national economy. When people are employed, they spend money on mortgages, groceries and consumer products, just like employees of for-profit businesses.

If you’ve ever spent time fundraising for an organization, you know just how far that kind of money can go. WELD Seattle , for example, helps those who have been impacted by the criminal justice system successfully re-enter society. When you look at the return of those projects, the resulting value is more than the dollar amount.
