Red Cross Case Raises Questions About How Nonprofits Handle Complaints - The Chronicle of Philanthropy
Red Cross Case Raises Questions About How Nonprofits Handle Complaints - The Chronicle of Philanthropy: "But today, the Red Cross ombudsman neither conducts investigations nor recommends policies. Indeed, according to the ombudsman, such work is outside his purview.
Exactly what the Red Cross ombudsman does — and should do — are key elements of Mr. Grassley’s latest inquiry into the Red Cross. He was spurred into action by ProPublica and NPR, which have produced several reports critical of the organization’s response to Hurricanes Sandy and Isaac in 2012 and its financial reporting. Their sources included Red Cross employees and others familiar with its operations."

Charities must adapt to ageing population – or miss out | Voluntary Sector Network | The Guardian
Charities must adapt to ageing population – or miss out | Voluntary Sector Network | The Guardian: "f they get this right, the potential rewards for the voluntary sector are substantial. The numbers are eye-opening: if people hitting 65 keep donating time and money at the same rate as today’s older population, it’ll be worth the equivalent of £6.5bn to the sector over the next 20 years. It would take another 150 Red Nose Days to raise the same.
So by the middle of the 2030s our charities could be flourishing, from extra cash and resources but also from the expertise and experience that these baby boomers will bring. Voluntary organisations could be rich in many ways."

When Restrictions Apply | Stanford Social Innovation Review
When Restrictions Apply | Stanford Social Innovation Review: "But in the past 20 years, foundations’ approach to funding has shifted. They now strongly value private-sector perspectives, and many hire management consultants to lead their organizations. This cadre of foundation leaders believes that nonprofits can be far more efficient by decreasing overhead and delivering on programmatic objectives.
But efficient can be the enemy of good. As nonprofits try to comply and cut back on discretionary spending, many foundations become frustrated that the models aren’t delivering on promised outcomes. They turn to the experts

CT Nonprofit Assn. Blasts Gov. Malloy for Anti-Nonprofit Behavior - NPQ - Nonprofit Quarterly
CT Nonprofit Assn. Blasts Gov. Malloy for Anti-Nonprofit Behavior - NPQ - Nonprofit Quarterly: "We have been hearing generally positive feedback about the administration of Connecticut governor Dannel Malloy, including his tough stance on preserving safety net hospital functions in the proposed acquisition of several hospitals by the Tenet hospital conglomerate and his funding of housing and community development in the state after years of relative state appropriations neglect. That’s why this op-ed by Patrick Johnson, the interim executive director of the Connecticut Association of Nonprofits, caught our eye.
The headline on Johnson’s op-ed declares, “Connecticut nonprofits are in an abusive relationship…with the state.” T"

Building Leadership with Thought-Provoking Questions | Leadership That Creates the Future
Building Leadership with Thought-Provoking Questions | Leadership That Creates the Future: "Leadership – there are likely few topics in the world about which more has been written. With so many resources and sometimes contradictory theories to consider (think “Servant Leadership” and “Machiavellian”), finding a personal leadership style that feels authentically “you” can sometimes seem like an unending quest. Establishing the leadership culture in an organization can be an equally challenging and continuously evolving process."

Want To Give to Jewish Charities? Don't Do It Over the Phone. – Forward.com
Want To Give to Jewish Charities? Don't Do It Over the Phone. – Forward.com: "Jewish charities handed over a huge portion of the money they raised in telemarketing campaigns in New York in 2013 to for-profit telemarketing contractors, according to a March 4 report by the office of Eric Schneiderman, New York State’s attorney general.
B’nai B’rith International and the Anti-Defamation League each got less than 9% of what donors gave to their phone campaigns, according to the attorney general’s figures. Those are terrible results: Three-quarters of the campaigns included in the attorney general’s report kept larger shares."
