Facts matter in business and in not-for-profit business. “Money is mobile and it will go where it’s treated the best” as Maria Bartiromo states.

A donation given for swimming lessons offers an exceptional return on investment from a public health standpoint.

For every $1 donated for basic swimming and water safety skill programs, a $9 return impact is derived and even a higher amount if the nonprofit has a low overhead.
