The role of insurance giants such as A.I.G in American Corporate interest offers little insight into investment engines at the heart of Charity Foundations. Although non-for profit societies have ties to communities across United States – Community RE-investment Act involves housing, it should not discourage certain acts of giving, routine donations, regular paid visit and even tithe offering. In a recent OP-ED by Dale Ross (Mayor of Georgetown, TX) regarding the challenge of giving and the partisan effort at maintaining a foundation throw new light on Non-for-profit organization as unconventional Community Investment tool. There are hardly any list to endorse but thanksgiving and charity as an investment tool in a community is easily overlooked. The reasons are many especially the history of mismanagement with some of the charity organization. Texas Capitol-City Austin may speak of Catholic Charities and Salvation Army that operate specie cases, these are often caught between SME housing exchange and government sponsored expenses, there are usually the best group to handle emergencies. There are other neutral chapters that need to be added to portfolio, especially for those os us interested in giving. For Georgetown some of the list may may include (1) Sertoma (2) Down Kiwanis (3) Sun City and Sun Rise Rotary (4) Chisholm Trail Foundation are mentioned as conventional charities covering specific areas of community interest, there are not the only ones. The important theme missing from his opinion page is that standard non-for profit organization are usually overlooked as important key to public health and sometimes – Welfare.
