Comment on Banking's Support of Nonprofit Clients Can't Match Its Support of Big Bonuses

2010-01-05T18:53:29Z

Clients is the operative word. At the time of this post, some of the larger banks were telling nonprofit clients - organizations that already had endowments and other assets managed by the banks and were paying the customary management fees (though not yet large enough to generate major dollars in revenues) - to "get out". How does kicking out revenue generating clients, even small revenues, help a bank? How can they be so generous with their bonuses to employees who may have played a role in hurting their bottom line, and yet careless about nonprofits? Not to mention all the bad publicity it drew - nothing new for banks lately.

I think the best "givers" are people who care. People will always reach a little deeper into their pockets when they are moved by a cause or mission.
