Yes, those big numbers really ARE true

It has been another good day for NPOs. As of this evening, I have a confirmed appointment with an NPO for Tuesday, and a tentative appointment with another NPO for Wednesday.

I was rather surprised today when another NPO told me "No, we don't need anymore money.... but I will take your name and number down--- just in case." A lot of "Big NPOs" have not been having any trouble getting money from foundations that have been doing well up until now. When they seek the next round of financing they will find out what the small NPOs have already found out---those foundations who have been so generous in the past were getting their money from the stock market and money that has been there all along is not there anymore.

bzm: Yes, I will soon be saying "those big numbers really ARE true."

So glad to know you have 2 more appointments set for next week. Good job!!! I'll trust that the "tentative appt." is "firm".
