16、y a desire to help those in need, Megan and Dennis Doyle of Minneapolis decided they wanted to do more than just volunteer or write a check. Instead, they took $ 30, 000 of their own money and started a nonprofit called Hope for the City. The organization collects corporate overstock and distributes
17、 it to nonprofits in the Twin Cities, nationwide, and internationally to 26 developing countries. Today the nonprofit has a $ 900, 000 operating budget and a 25, 000-sq. ft. warehouse to store the donated items and has distributed nearly $ 380 million of in-kind merchandise since its inception. “Thi
18、s makes us feel like were a part of something a lot bigger than just the two of us, “says Dennis, 54, who is CEO of a local commercial real estate firm.The Doyles are not alone in their desire to give back. There are more than 1 million 501(c)(3) charities like theirs, up nearly 70% from the 614, 00
19、0 that existed a decade ago, according to Tom Pollak, program director with the National Center for Charitable Statistics at the Urban Institute.

20、sident of Philanthropy Management, a Fairfield, Conn. , consulting firm that works with nonprofits nationwide.Fueling this growth are several factors: baby boomers with a social-entrepreneurship mind-set and added time in their lives to give back to their communities, such tragic events as Sept. 11

Accountants familiar with nonprofits can advise on how much of an investment can be made without a
24、ffecting personal wealth. But even with the best of intentions, nonprofits have a high failure rate: only one-third survive beyond five years, says Stan Madden, director ofthe Center for Nonprofit Studies at the Hankamer School of Business at Baylor University in Waco, Texas.The best approach is to
25、start with a business plan. Research other organizations in the field to make sure there is no other group addressing the same cause. Consult with other charities to determine that there are constituents who can really use your services. As McGrath notes, “Consider a realistic and doable niche that
26、your organization can uniquely fill.“That is just what Beth Shaw, 41, did. The owner of a $ 4 million company that trains yoga fitness instructors worldwide, Shaw used her knowledge of the market to launch Visionary Women in Fitness, which provides scholarships to underprivileged women so they can t
27、rain to become instructors. With a budget of just $ 30, 000, the nonprofit, based in Hermosa Beach, Calif. ,is able to help 15 to 20 women a year learn a skill that can get them an entry-level job.“I have two homes and a successful business, and so many young women out there have nothing, “says Shaw

Then he burned a lot of bundled newspapers and magazines which he said the crickets had turned into nests.He stood over that fire with a rake in one hand and a garden hose in the other. He wouldnt leave it even when Mamma sent me out to fetch him for supp
