Give and Take is a service of The Chronicle of Philanthropy that rounds up the best postings that appear on blogs about the nonprofit world.

Our most recent postings include:

• A debate over a former White House official who has accused President Bush of a ‘compassion contradiction.’

• Concerns raised by a young nonprofit executive who says too many of her peers are unlikely to stay in charity jobs unless big changes are made in how organizations do business.

• Suggestions on ways for food banks to cope with the decline in donated groceries and other products.

You can also read previous postings on issues about philanthropic giving, fund raising, and management of nonprofit organizations.

Give and Take is updated regularly throughout the day.
