Eden Springs supplies 416 million litres of water per year across sixteen European countries. In briefest terms, as an example, if you’re collecting friends to sponsor ($$) your run for, say, UNICEF, you can ‘apply’ to Eden Springs and they might provide your ‘hydration’ for the event in exchange for you publishing their ‘badge’ on your website or fundraising page. It works for Eden Springs.

I've been writing about my church lately. It's an important place to me. It's where I got married to the love of my life. It's where my daughter was baptized. It's where people cared for me as I wept over the end of my first marriage. I also talk about my church because I think nonprofits can learn from these interesting and complex places. Last Sunday, we had a liturgy and celebration at my parish to welcome our new priest and mark the beginning of our new ministry together.
