Beth Kanter uses her birthday each year to raise funds for the Sharing Foundation, and her birthday wish this year is to send 53 Cambodian kids to school.
Beth does so much to advance the field of nonprofit technology and for many people she’s their first introduction to the field. I am no exception. In the spring of 2008 I was just discovering social media and also thinking about what I would do after graduation. When I found Beth’s Blog I shot her an email with a few questions. She wrote back and said I should make it to the NTC. I didn’t make it there until the following year in San Francisco, but Beth’s encouragement made me realize just how welcoming people are in the nptech community.
Beth’s public exploration and research continue to advance the nonprofit sector. Her mentorship and leadership foster a better nptech community. I can’t imagine how many people she’s helped along over the years, but I’m happy to be among them. I just donated to the cause and I hope you will too.
Thank you Beth, and Happy Birthday!
