The premise

Most donors get one thing from a nonprofit: a receipt.

No report, no call, no photo of what the money did. This publication is about the second thing, and the third. It covers the people and organizations who send them, and the news that changes how giving works.

Pasadena Gives

The local edition.

Greater Pasadena and the west San Gabriel Valley: the organizations, the people who raise the money, the events, and the funders. One organization showcased in every issue, starting with No. 2. Go local

One email a week. Friday morning.

Five items, sourced, with the one move each one asks of a small nonprofit. No sponsor, no ads.
