Dear Readers,
It is no secret that these are tough times. On the
one hand, the global economic crisis means that an
unprecedented number of people are unable to afford the
medical treatments they require or the extra help their
disabled children need or even the basic cost of a dignified
life. On the other hand, the ‘third sector’ – consisting of
the non-profit organizations which are selflessly dedicated
to improving society and helping those who are most
in need – has been badly hit by the sudden downturn in
philanthropic giving around the world. Despite this bleak
reality, most of these non-profits are determined to continue
fighting for the causes they so fervently support, realizing
that now, more than ever, their endeavors are vital.
In this issue of The Power of Giving, we have
showcased non-profit organizations which are confronting
the current social and economic conditions head-on and
are nevertheless pursuing their praiseworthy undertakings.
May they be an inspiration to us all.
Wishing you a Happy Passover,
Rebecca Kopans
