Reforming the charity donation process
Tonight, at the diabetes fundraiser, I heard a Mr. Greenbaum give an eloquent speech about his parallel reasons for giving so big to the cause. He talked about the three groups in attendance and one being the investor. As an investor, it would be a little more exciting to invest in something that could take …
