"There is a growing acceptance that social responsibility should be at the core of the business, not merely an add-on. At the same time, in South Africa the emphasis is growing for market-based solutions to social problems, and not-for-profit organisations are under increasing pressure from donors to be self-funding, doing commissioned work as well as advocacy. This creates its own dangers and -- to use development-speak -- challenges. But it is a reality.
US consultant Susan Raymond, writing on the onPhilanthropy site, underlines the vital questions these developments raise.
'If we no longer know what we mean by the term 'nonprofit' or 'foundation' or 'philanthropy,' how will we continue to make these distinctions? "

Donating to charity rewards the brain
PROVIDING for relatives comes more naturally than reaching out to strangers. Nevertheless, it may be worth being kind to people outside the family as the favour might be reciprocated in future. But when it comes to anonymous benevolence, directed to causes that, unlike people, can give nothing in return, what could motivate a donor? The answer, according to neuroscience, is that it feels good.
Researchers at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke in Bethesda, Maryland, wanted to find the neural basis for unselfish acts. They decided to peek into the brains of 19 volunteers who were choosing whether to give money to charity, or keep it for themselves. To do so, they used a standard technique called functional magnetic resonance imaging, which can map the activity of the various parts of the brain. The results were reported in this week's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences."

How much would you shell out to own an M&M that traveled through space?
How about a dinner on Larry Ellison's yacht? Or a cake by a famed baker?
Better yet, how much would you pay to own nothing?
All of these items, including the right to own thin air, were sold for thousands of dollars.
Sound pricey? Welcome to the new world of fundraising auctions, where the items being sold are getting more unique and the prices people pay, in some cases, are through the roof, according to longtime auctioneers.
