History:
For the past 20 years, Julie Chapman and Lisa Novick collaborated in the field of philanthropy working at non-profits, running a company that advanced causes, and writing and speaking nationally and internationally. Later, while raising their kids, they discovered a lack of resources that help parents raise kids who like to give. YesKidzCan! is their answer with 100% of net profits going to children’s causes.
