Red Beans & Rice
Red Beans & Rice is a weekly e-mail of interesting articles, funding resources, professional development opportunities and other areas that Cuidiu has come across the previous week related to the nonprofit and philanthropic sector.  Each day we receive hundreds of e-mails, RSS feeds and blog postings and this is our attempt to synthesize all of this into the most useful information for you. We look forward to sharing this information with those who we know closely and those whom we have shared only a relationship through e-mail. 

Please let us know what information you find most useful and please forward this information to your colleagues, board members and friends.  The reason for the name Red Beans & Rice originates from Louie Armstrong and how he signed his letters.  According to some he meant it as a kind gesture to grow stronger.
