White House Philanthropy Event Was a Closed-Door Affair - Government & Politics Watch - The Chronicle of Philanthropy- Connecting the nonprofit world with news, jobs, and ideas

White House Philanthropy Event Was a Closed-Door Affair - Government & Politics Watch - The Chronicle of Philanthropy- Connecting the nonprofit world with news, jobs, and ideas: The event—hosted by the White House Office of Social Innovation and Civic Participation and attended by philanthropists, nonprofit leaders, government officials, and others—was not announced publicly and was closed to the news media.

There were no news releases, White House blog mentions, or Webcasts.

A few participants blew the event’s cover, however. One nonprofit group sent out a news release about its founder’s plans to attend. Several attendees tweeted throughout the day at #WHInnovation. And some discussed it with The Chronicle afterward.
