More feedback...
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
the genuine connection to neighbors with a wealth of social capital but a lack of financial resources.

compassionate advocates for those who struggle with poverty while also being innovative social entrepreneurs.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Ways to make it better...
more members of our community knew about CDM and supported its work.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
an overwhelming number of opportunities compared to the capital required to fund those initiatives.
One thing I'd also say is that...
there is no better place to invest your time, talents or treasure if you have any interest in making a difference in the lives of those who struggle with poverty.
