Last Tuesday night I participated in a twitter chat that has been voted Best Twitter Chat on Giving. It is hosted by @MichaelChatman who has 285,000 plus followers on twitter. I was so inspired by some of the remarks that I decided just to edit for typos ("I tweet; therefore I typo.") and share them with you. Only two of the reasons for giving are mine, and all of them are credited to the submitters (at least by their twitter IDs). Check out the #WhyIGive and #WhyGive hashtags on twitter and follow @MichaelChatman for more inspiration and insight about giving.
