Also, take great care not to puff it up. Keep the article neutral and 
factual and avoid the appearance of promotion and conflict of interest. 
Wikipedia is not there as way to get the word out about your 
organization even if you are using it that way. Write for a curious 
reader who is unlikely to ever directly benefit the organization, not a 
potential donor or volunteer.
