Visitors From a Faraway Land

Sign Translation "2014 NPO Study Abroad Program in America: Fundraising/ Marketing" 

Last week, members of the National Council of NPO Korea visited our office to learn more about the U.S. nonprofit sector and about Charity Navigator. The Council runs these study abroad visits annually to various countries (they went to the UK last year) to help its members learn and network. But this year they were especially interested in visiting us because they would like to establish an entity like Charity Navigator in Korea to help their donors make more informed giving choices. We hope they succeed!
