By Phyllis Campbell
Special to The Times
WHILE hurricanes, earthquakes and tsunamis greeted our world with incomprehensible destruction this past year, that destruction inspired extraordinary American generosity — and illuminated a serious need to make our giving more effective.
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina especially, we were reminded also of the critical role philanthropy plays in American life. We rely on nonprofits and foundations to use our donations effectively and efficiently, and to apply our giving as it was intended — for the benefit and well-being of our fellow citizens."
