Data published by the National Center on Charitable Statistics states that approximately 30 percent of nonprofits fail to exist after 10 years. Worst yet, Forbes magazine once stated that over half of all chartered nonprofits are destined to fail or stall within a few years of startup!
With these foreboding statistics in mind, you can understand why, as we get ready to enter our 47th year as a non-profit organization, I’m feeling very good about having managed to beat the odds. And with your continued support, and our hard work, we can continue as an organization that both motivates AND is motivated to finding ways to engage our members and the community at large about the great nation-defining event in American history that we call the Civil War.
Looking forward to seeing you in September!
