    I was surprised to find that my most beloved nonprofit, KairosPDX, was not listed here.
    I found them online (many links received toda!y) & was able to make a donation but would’ve expected them to be listed in any & all articles like this ~ so other philanthropic readers can learn about their awesomeness. ??
