One of the things I have become even more aware of since I started working with Pesticide Action Network (PAN) is how much non-profit organizations come to rely on the Giving Tuesday and "end of year" donations that come their way so they can continue with their work. Certainly I have always had some knowledge of this. But, there is nothing quite like being on the other side of the ball (so to speak) to really begin to appreciate a different perspective.
