Nonprofiteer, I have a question to submit to your column, but can’t find an email address. Please help!

As you’ll see, I’ve added an “e-mail me” link at the top right of the page, as well as listing my e-mail address on the “About” page. If you submit your letter today, I may be able to get it into this week’s “Dear Nonprofiteer.”

I came across your article in Huffington Post by chance since i was searching for some article on the Full Body Scanners in US airport. Anyways, since the article was convincing enough, i landed here at your website and now you got a very avid follower. I will follow it for sometime and explore further before dropping you an e mail. inshAllah.
Keep up the good work!
