Nipun Mehta, founder of CharityFocus.org, refuses to relate to “be the change” as just another inspiring expression. Profoundly moved by his insights into the emptiness of material wealth, Mehta (who some have called a cross between saint and motivational speaker) abandoned a lucrative career in Silicon Valley to donate all of his time and high-tech skills to help nonprofit organizations in their efforts to help others. Mehta's passion for service and natural ability to inspire selfless action in others has expanded the scope of his organization and its mission far beyond mere technical web support. It has become a global source of volunteers and of the spirit of volunteerism—a ubiquitous force of selfless action in the material world.
