I have loved magazines in a slightly obsessive way since as long as I can remember. In college, I knew exactly what I wanted to do: Work on a magazine in New York City. I had no money, no contacts, no prospects when I moved to New York City, but I got to work...

They tend to work outside the traditional nonprofit structure, creating their own points of engagement or standing out among their peers for their dedication to their cause. Some of them...
We are very proud to have been selected for one of the 25 Austin American-Statesman Texas Social Media Awards for 2011. GivingCity has been nominated since the TSMAs began three years ago, but this was worth the wait. Our fellow winners are some of the coolest, most influential and most engaging people and organizations...
Before GivingCity came to the Austin Community Foundation, we produced a lot of content for a lot of other people. One of our favorite things to work on was and is 12 Baskets Magazine for Mobile Loaves & Fishes. We still do 12 Baskets now. Here’s how we got that gig: I was standing...
