American Philanthropy Has Seen Better Days

American Philanthropy Has Seen Better Days: "It's called a food pantry, but a scarcity of goods is taking over the shelves. Despite the efforts of the nonprofit BedStuy Campaign Against Hunger, which runs the Brooklyn (N.Y.) pantry, there's no pasta, milk, or orange juice, and almost no meat. A few sacks of yellow onions represent the only produce, and a dozen or so packages of ham in a refrigerated cooler will be gone within hours, says program coordinator Tamara Dawson. The money ran out last winter, so there's no shopping to be done either."

Dealing with a weak dollar: Dollar's decline also affects the church's global work: "Some may say donors should “dig deeper,” but Malpica Padilla doesn’t believe that’s realistic. “It’s not as easy as saying ‘Give more,’ ” he explained. “We are a generous church. As a country, philanthropy is a big thing here. As we see with many emerging worthy causes, there is a flat pool or source of funding within or outside the church, so you have a lot of people competing for money. Outside [Microsoft chairman] Bill Gates, we’re essentially recycling the same dollars—moving it from here to there to there.”"

The Enid News and Eagle, Enid, OK - Charitable giving needs to remain a priority in life: "Another area that could see an impact is charitable giving.

That’s going to be a troublesome situation. We’d hate to see donations drop as the need increases.

“Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.” Those words, attributed to the Dalai Lama, speak not only to the importance of change, but the need to maintain a focus on one’s mission when going through the process.
