The Big(ger) Picture

The Japanese people will have their needs met — by their government, by their neighbors, and to some extent by contributions from people in the U.S. and around the world. But I'm happy to see that caution on the part of nonprofits in their approach to fundraising seems to be the way things are going. That kind of right thinking and proper stewardship (even in advance) will go a long way toward renewing public trust in the charitable sector and ensure that U.S. nonprofits can continue to be giving portals for the most generous people in the world long into the future.
