Vancouver Foundation 2010 application deadlines

It is great to see the Vancouver Foundation coming back to a regular schedule of grant making. Their 2010 deadlines have been announced here. First deadlines are for letters of inquiry for Arts & Culture, Education and Youth, Children & Families on February 10, 2010. Most the other programs have a deadline of July 23, 2010.

We made the list (of stressful jobs that pay badly)

CNNMoney.com has an uplifting feature on Stressful Jobs that Pay Badly and fundraiser is number 7. We are in the company of social workers, special event coordinators, news reporters, assisted living directors and high school teachers.

Things have really changed because not too long ago, fundraiser made it on the 2009 list of America’s Best Careers, according to US News & World Report.

There is also a list of Least Stressful Jobs, just in case you are looking for a career change.
