Many prospective donors ask this question before making a donation to a non-profit organization, unsure of how their hard-earned money is actually going to be used. They want to help the Providence Place mission of providing adoption services and life-skills training to young adults with disabilities, but they also want to make sure their money is going into the right hands and is being used for the proper purposes.

It's inevitable. The school you once called home will call you up after you've hung your cap and gown, and ask for donations. For those postgraduates who feel financially stable enough to give, it is a warm call to action. But for the growing number of postgraduates who feel the burden of student loans and tough job markets, it is a guilt-ridden reminder that the comforts of college are over. You are now an alumna, however aimless or surefooted, and you have a responsibility to guide younger classes through the same transition. But without a hefty paycheck, how can you give back?
