- Partnerships between individual donors and foundations — the financier Warren Buffett’s gift to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation being the most obvious example — can present opportunities for both parties, writes Padriac Brick on the New Philanthropy Capital blog. New Philanthropy Capital, a London charity that advises donors on their giving, recently produced a report on the subject.
- Bill Shore, executive director of the nonprofit group Share Our Strength, says on a Washington Post blog that innovative nonprofit leaders such as Teach for America’s Wendy Kopp and Harlem Children’s Zone’s Geoffrey Canada might just become “the next generation of political giants.”
- Matthew Bishop, an editor with The Economist and author of a book about philanthropy, has a piece on the magazine’s Web site about the growing interest in “social capital markets” — markets that promote social good.
- How can people use Twitter to support charity? Josh Catone, a features editor for Mashable, a Web site about social-media tools, offers several tips.
- With more businesses offering pro bono services to charities, Mike Burns, a charity consultant, wonders on his blog about the long-term benefits of such arrangements.
- The Asian-American Giving blog notes the recent growth in firms that advise wealthy people on their philanthropy and argues that there is a market — at least a small one — for advisory businesses that focus on Asian Americans.
- Pete Smith, an executive-compensation consultant, attempts to answer how much is too much for nonprofit executives on Nonprofit Musings.
