    Living in the Harrisburg area, I have had personal dealings with non-profits. As such, I have come to acknowledge the importance and social contributions these organizations have on the local community.  Mr. Geiger’s informative discussion shed light on the challenges these non-profits face. I appreciated this segment!

    Having previously worked at a non-profit, I developed an intimate knowledge of the challenges they face. Despite the numerous challenges their dedication to their mission never wavered. Mr. Geiger’s outreach can only serve to help the public understand the importance of non-profits.
