What is the greatest gift a celebrity can give to a good cause: a fat check, or the use of his or her name and image to lure more (but perhaps less fat) checks from the rest of us?
Suzanne Klein of Washington e-mails that she's been involved with a number of nonprofit events that included donated celebrity clout and that 'rarely does the celebrity take a minute to write a check to the charity that they have just affiliated themselves with. I understand that lending their name is what they believe they are donating, but why not go a step further, even if it's not a large amount? They have typically gotten some great press from the event; it's the least they could do.' "

The Globe and Mail: Non-profit jobs nearly catch up to manufacturing
Canadian non-profit and voluntary organizations now employ a total of two million workers, which is nearly equal to employment in the country's manufacturing sector, according to a new study.
But many of these jobs are in danger because organizations in health, social services and education report increasing dependence on short-term sources of funding, says Michael Hall, vice-president of research at Imagine Canada (formerly the Canadian Centre for Philanthropy), which commissioned the study that was supported by the federal government. Despite this, Mr. Hall says the demand for staff continues to grow, with charities growing at a rate of 3 per cent a year.

'InspireME' stays with trainer: "I want people to come in and say, 'Inspire me,' and they do. They like the name,' she said. 'It's about the relationship between me and the client.'
She was none too thrilled to learn about a month ago that Jobs for Maine Graduates, a private, nonprofit group set up by the state 12 years ago, was undergoing a name change and was now to be known as 'InspireME.'
Philip Thibodeau, a spokesman for the organization, said Jobs for Maine Graduates had searched to make sure no other private, nonprofit group was going by InspireME.
The law is hazy, he said, but it appears that two entities could use the same name as long as they're not in the same economic sector. In other words, a private nonprofit and a private for-profit may be able to operate under the same name. At the very least, the secretary of state's office didn't suggest a search beyond other private nonprofits, Thibodeau said."

Edson Foundation looking to bring more ethnic-diversity to executive boards of social-service organizations
By MICHAEL LAFLEUR, Sun Staff
LOWELL -- Phil Hall, the administrator of the Theodore Edson Parker Foundation, sees a crucial missing component from many of the city's more established, immigrant-serving, social-service organizations.
Their boards of directors have few members from the largely ethnic-minority populations they serve.
“We recognize it's not easy attracting newcomers to your board, but we think it's an important part of governance,” Hall said.

1. What is strategic philanthropy and where did the concept originate?
So many businesses today want to give back and make a contribution to the community, and yet many are finding that writing a check at the end of the year isn't quite capturing the spirit of giving they are aiming for. Strategic corporate philanthropy harnesses the desire of companies that want to give back and channels that giving spirit into so much more than a line item on their balance sheet. It involves developing a 'partnership' with the right charity and integrating that partnership into the corporate culture."

A leading cancer charity has rejected a £30,000 donation from the organiser of sponsored bird shoots because it does not approve of the way the money was raised.
The Institute of Cancer Research was also concerned that its staff might be targeted by animal rights extremists if it publicly accepted the gift. Critics said yesterday that the charity's decision "beggars belief" and was "utterly ridiculous".

About a year and half ago his volunteer experience helped push his career into a new direction. Maloney is the director of development for the Girl Scouts of Big Sky Council.
It's a contrast from his earlier lines of work. He retired from the U.S. Navy and worked for four years in financial services at Waddell & Reed.
