This is amazing news. This kind of philanthropy shows that, given a sense of purpose, Americans can really make an impact.

There are hundreds of thousands of advocacy and non-governmental agencies that fight the fight everyday in the world, and all of them are pining for supporters. NICE encourages everyone to get involved in philanthropy. You don't have to give money necessarily, just your own focus and attention.
