“In times of crisis, people can be more altruistic” — DonorsChoose’s Charles Best
People are altruistic – even more so in times of uncertainty. DonorsChoose CEO Charles Best has learned this through 20 years of leading his nonprofit through the terrorist attacks of 9/11, multiple recessions, and now a pandemic. Charles knows how to listen to what grantees really need – and donors really want — and how to pivot to address changing needs. In the last few weeks, DonorsChoose has completely reimagined how it connects grantees with the resources they need, and built a new platform to do it. Because the value of a donation, he says, goes far beyond what money can buy. Go to https://www.donorschoose.org/coronavirus to find a project you want to fund.
