In good times and bad, we know that people give because you meet needs, not because you have needs.

Stewardship at its best engages donors with the impact and outcomes of their investments of time, wisdom, expertise, connections, and money.

If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.
