 2012 THINK TWICE CAMPAIGN 

Think TwiceThe Think Twice Campaign for regional budget advocacy is underway again! This joint initiative of the Center for Nonprofit Advancement and the Nonprofit Roundtable of Greater Washington will provide weekly updates on the FY13 budgets in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia.
