It's Just Good Business
When you make a donation to a nonprofit, you need to trust that your money will be used wisely, with as little overhead as possible. Once a year, the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta announces its Managing for Excellence Award, recognizing one local nonprofit for superior accountability and efficiency. The Atlanta Community Food Bank is the 2007 recipient of this prestigious award.
