  • Hi Mikelann! It's my policy to have one pro-bono client. The non-profit I've chosen is The Snow Leopard Trust. What many people don't know about them is they not only try to save cats, they do it thru community involvement and the Snow Leopard Enterprise. A recent review of the effectivness of their organiztion got the following comment: "The program contributes to female empowerment in three main ways: raising individual self esteem; enhancing the profile of women within the family and the community; and engaging women in decision-making on the environment."

    To read the details of the study (they received a 4-Star rating from Charity Navigator) and to learn more about the Trust and Enterprise go to http://www.snowleopard.org/news/currentnews/evaluations
