Nonprofit Gold is excited to bring a new bi-weekly section to the Nonprofit Gold blog, Tuesdays with TED.  Over the last year and a half, the TED movement has brought innovative speakers to communities around the United States and the world and we will be highlighting leaders in the nonprofit sector who are bringing their wisdom to communities.  The TED movement’s mission is “spreading ideas” and was founded to be a “conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design.”  (www.ted.com)  Today, one day conferences are held to continue bringing insight through technology, entertainment and design.

For our first Tuesdays with TED, Nonprofit Gold would like to highlight our colleague, Libby Birky, who founded the So All May Eat Cafe with her husband.  We hope you enjoy this insight into the “pay-what-you-can” restaurant model and how Libby is changing the Denver landscape one meal at a time.

Also, if you are in Denver make sure you stop by and see the brand new kitchen at SAME Cafe which just reopened this week.
