Nothing wrong with that so long as Wednesday’s Child is respected in Arizona. Or, if that number is relatively small, wouldn’t it be better to cite the number of parents in Arizona who have adopted special needs kids?

Gap, Arizona is a tiny burg on US-89 on the western edge of the expansive Navajo Nation (the reservation is slightly larger than the state of West Virginia). And anyone who can make a rewarding and fulfilling life on the high and austere desert mesas of Northeast Arizona has my complete respect. And it worked in Gap, Arizona for me because I needed air for my tires and because I couldn’t NOT think of Navajo kids as possible recipients.

Habitat is one of my favorite organizations and this group is full of heart and passion for the people they serve. Here are a few highlights from the information I shared with them. Passion is key. A nonprofit will best be able to serve people and fulfill its mission when the Board, staff, and volunteers are all passionate about the cause.

This very scenario came up in a discussion group at the Cause Academy convocation last week in Scottsdale, Arizona. Imagine that a sponsor and a cause engage in a sincere and well-meant cause marketing activity and out of carelessness they word the offer poorly in the activation materials. Perhaps the amount being donated is really oblique or seems to suggest something that isn’t true.

Nike doesn't care if retirees in Arizona aren't buying its shoes. Newsletter reader Trish Conklin , Director of Corporate Sponsorships at One Warm Coat , had a great idea for a survey question: Does your nonprofit require corporate partners to make a minimum revenue commitment? The commitment could be upfront, or for a specific fundraiser when it's unclear how much will be raised (e.g. POS program, donation boxes, purchase or action triggered donation, etc.)

Breast cancer awareness! Really? By now isn’t every person in the developed world who can fog a mirror aware of breast cancer? Apparently not. And the irony may be that it is the very fittest who are most immune to the message. No woman sees breast cancer coming.

At a Salvation Army in Arizona , an eldery woman dropped off three engagement rings and two wedding rings. I've been thinking about this concept, probably because I've been asked more than once about what people should do with their diamonds rings after a failed engagement or divorce. No one really likes to celebrate a failed relationship, unless it's Rihanna and Chris Brown. But what can be done with diamond rings that need another home?
