Charity/Non-profit Issues


Non-profit groups are very important in our society, particularly those that work to represent and help people with medical problems, or fund research into conditions. In some ways I don't think enough attention is paid to how these organisations are run, or the challenges they face. I would like this section to grow into a real resource for people interested in such matters (send me suggestions!) but unfortunately I don't have time to be methodical about it. So here's just a collection of items I've bumped into and found interesting.
