There’s no one path to being a successful charitable organization
T he spirit of giving is abundant in North Bay counties. Residents north of the Golden Gate are among the most generous in California, according to recently reported data from the Internal Revenue Service. And particularly outstanding are the residents of Inverness, who donated 8.64% of their income to charity— making the West Marin community’s philanthropy the fifth highest in the state. The report focuses on charitable donations, but the altruism goes beyond giving money. It extends to the people who operate the nonprofit organizations that collect the funds and use them to deliver services to fulfill their mission. And with thousands of nonprofit businesses actively operating in Marin, Sonoma and Napa counties, the work they do is significant. By: Judith M. Wilson
