Harvey B ChessHarvey B. Chess's years in the nonprofit sector have usually involved the give and take between organizations with grants to give and nonprofits that compete to get those grants. This began in the original Federal War On Poverty and culminated with hs highly regarded, well travelled workshop for nonprofit grant seekers.
