Report: Auburn trustees have too much power
Report: Auburn trustees have too much power: "AUBURN � Auburn University's board of trustees has assumed too much authority over running the college, resulting in a 'neutered' presidency and an 'anxious and unhappy community,' according to a report by an independent consultant being released today.
The 150-page report by James Fisher, an expert on higher education leadership and organization whose work was commissioned by trustees, calls on the board to immediately revamp its bylaws to avoid the micromanagement and conflict that has become characteristic of trustees. It also recommends dramatic changes to the trustee appointment process and guidelines on conflicts of interest"

Half of donations from other givers
By Beth Barrett, Staff Writer
The McCormick Tribune Foundation, the charitable arm associated with the Los Angeles Times' parent company, has stirred controversy in Los Angeles' philanthropic circles by claiming it contributed $6.1 million to area charities in 2004 although at least half of the money came from other local donors.
Some nonprofits speak highly of the program that increases their revenue but such leading philanthropists as former Mayor Richard Riordan are highly critical. And several nonprofits have dropped out of the program, saying they end up doing most of the work in partnered fundraising events and are uncomfortable with the way the foundation uses an unusual but legal means of reporting its contributions.
In its simplest form, the foundation requires nonprofits to give it a substantial check "

Animal lovers Dale and Melanie DeAeth of Washington, Texas, who started the True Blue Animal Rescue organization, and their three children, Jessica, Cory and Colton, will have their own home rescued by Ty and the gang on 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition' team, Sunday, January 29 (8:00-9:00 PM).
The DeAeths are the first people the Texas law enforcement calls when they find abused and neglected animals. Their True Blue Animal Rescue organization provides a safe haven to horses, dogs and other animals that need loving care - and it's run out of their own home!
While both parents have been working full-time jobs in addition to rescuing, nurturing and adopting out animals, they've neglected their own house, which is literally falling apart! The DeAeth home's foundation has shifted, the walls are cracked throughout, and termites have invaded.
Since they started True Blue Animal Rescue, the DeAeths have taken in over 90 dogs and 40 horses - many of which are now living full lives in adopted homes. But they still have 30 dogs and 15 horses on their property and several cats that are in tempora"

The Fund Raiser
Career advice for administrative staff members in fund raising and development
As fund raisers, we think about it all the time: What would it be like to give away money, to be a philanthropist?
We fantasize about donating large sums -- or at least of having large sums to donate -- and we dedicate countless brain cells to figuring out what motivates people to give. Every time the lottery jackpot swells high enough to justify playing, my wife and I concoct plans to fling millions at our family members (after buying the beach house and the Ferrari). That's about as close as I get.
Until this past holiday season. Just before Christmas I was persuaded to join a staff-driven effort to supply needy families with food, presents for children, and various other forms of holiday cheer. Everyone in my office pitched in some bucks, and a few of us volunteered to deliver the goods.
So I spent an afternoon riding around the poorest neighborhoods in our city, visiting tenements I would describe as unlivable. But of course people lived there. The apartments were uniformly dirty and decrepit. Most were devoid of creature comforts, while some contained no real furniture. Many "
