Hello,
Thank you so much for creating this video! I have been giving to charities financially and volunteering sporadically throughout my life. There are some causes though that I want to help with and don't see an already formed organization. I've been questioning if I could start an organization and still am not sure if that will be my path but, this video has made me think a lot about what that would look like.
Thank you for sharing this information!
