"An association is an educated and powerful body of citizens which cannot be twisted to any person's will or quietly trodden down, and by defending its private interests against the encroachments of power, it saves the common liberties....."
This week, I’m reading selected quotes from Democracy in America by Alexis De Tocqueville. Published in 1835.
Note: his use of the word association is our current word for nonprofit.
Reflection questions:
- Many individuals with the means to donate experience giving as a transaction. How will you bring the mindset that you are giving back to the donor the tremendous value of the knowledge of the common good your mission to bringing to the community?
- How will you consider the ways in which generosity to the cause you serve promotes democracy and saves common liberties?
