LEGACY, LEADERSHIP AND GROWING UP THE FAMILY FOUNDATION
In honor of the Hill-Snowdon family foundation's 50th anniversary since being established and the 10th since launching its strategic grantmaking program, the National Center for Family Philanthropy has collaborated with Ashley Snowdon Blanchard, foundation president, to produce a history of the family's turns and transformations.
When I talked to Ashley some time back, her view of the role and growth of the foundation was intimately allied with family matters and engagement. Her smart stewardship of the foundation's growth provides a role model for impact and succession. More> |

Giving in 2010 The Boston College for Wealth and Philanthropy, led by Paul Schervish and John Havens, has released predictions for 2010 giving based on a model they've developed called the "Individual Giving Model" (IGM), which crunches various economic data, such as income, net worth, market indices and more, to estimate annual charitable giving by U.S. households (excluding foundations and corporations).
ITo date: • 2010 looks better: Individual giving is predicted to be between $222 billion and $227 billion, up 3% to 4.5%. We're inching our way back to the 2007 pre-recession level of $234 billion. For an upcoming newsletter, send your name and email address to: |

Giving isn't about the zeros in your bank account. It's about donating time, talent, treasure or technology to the causes you believe in. You'll find personal stories of celebrities like Gary Sinise, who sends school supplies to Iraq, and Michael J. Fox, who supports research into Parkinson's, as well as Osceola McCarty, a laundress who, at 85, donated her life savings of $150,000 to a scholarship fund for the University of Mississippi. This book offers both inspiration and concrete advice so you can make your generosity truly count. The publisher contributes $1 to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF for every book sold. |
