A New Effort to Stimulate Conversation About Philanthropy
Sean Stannard-Stockton has been one of philanthropy’s most active voices in encouraging foundation and charity leaders to exchange ideas through blogs.
Now, he’s offering space on his blog — and some cash — to get others to join his crusade.
Mr. Stannard-Stockton, who works for an investment management company in Burlingame, Calif., has invited guests to write posts on his Tactical Philanthropy blog throughout the month of November through a program he calls The One Post Challenge.
The premise is simple:
“I’m going to put my money where my mouth is,” Mr. Stannard-Stockton writes. “During the month of November, anyone who wants to post a blog entry to Tactical Philanthropy can do it. Just e-mail me your post, with a short bio. Every coherent, relevant post will be published.”
Mr. Stannard-Stockton is also offering a prize to the writer who generates the most comments with his or her blog post — a $500 “Good Card”. The card allows the recipient to give money to the charity of his or her choice through Network for Good, a nonprofit group in Maryland that is contributing $250 of the $500 prize.
