Stephen Nill's Notes
Nearly a decade ago I first spoke with Ted Hart about his vision for creating a nonprofit organization dedicated to E-Philanthropy, which at the time was just getting off the ground. His vision for what became the ePhilanthropy Foundation was to make the new organization the global leader training charities on the ethical and efficient use of the Internet for philanthropic purposes. I was impressed with this kind of big thinking.
So, when I recently learned that Mr. Hart was preparing to launch a new initia
tive to help nonprofits/NGOs around the world focus on becoming more green, I was intrigued enough to invite this visionary leader to sit down with me, pour a cup of coffee, and talk about his new organization, GreenNonprofits.
I invite you to listen in as Mr. Hart explains his vision, and what it might mean to your organization and the nonprofit/ngo sector.
