Senate panel heavy-handed regarding nonprofits
LIZ HEATH;
Back in June when we were all thinking about taking a summer vacation, the Senate Finance Committee was holding hearings on a batch of recommendations made by staff for "fixing" the nonprofit sector.
That Congress would start heading in this direction was predictable. There have been serious breaches of financial responsibility and trust in the nonprofit sector and an attitude of no tolerance for such problems has spilled over from the corporate sector in the wake of all the misdeeds of folks at Enron and the like

Killing Off the Death Tax
August 23, 2004 | |
It sounds surprising at first blush, but the people working the hardest to save the federal estate tax, or “death tax,” are some of the country’s richest. Indeed, the membership of the pro-death tax Committee for Responsible Wealth reads like a Who’s Who for a Vanderbilt birthday party.

The more cockroaches come out at night, the bigger the soup bone for them to share.
Or something like that.
A group of nonprofit managers received some creative - yet cautionary - advice on Monday about the challenges and changes facing them in the present political environment from Jason Sabo, public policy director for the United Way of Texas.

Bill Didn’t End Debate on Nonprofits
A new law was supposed to strengthen rules on state-funded nonprofits, but it may have done the reverse
By Paul Chesser
August 24, 2004
RALEIGH — Gov. Mike Easley on Tuesday signed into law a bill that, according to his press release, will “clarify and strengthen the reporting requirements for non-state entities receiving state funds.”
But State Sen. Hamilton Horton, a Forsyth County Republican, said that in some ways the new law weakens accountability for state-funded nonprofit organizations.
“It doesn’t require a cutoff of funds, as in the previous law,” Horton said. “They leave it to the executive.”

Don't sail past your charitable instinct | csmonitor.com: "My real pleasure came on another night around the dinner table, when the conversation turned to the subject of charitable donations. Speaking to my husband, I mentioned that I'd sent off a check for a community cause we'd spoken of supporting together. Confirming his trust in the decision I had made during a busy time, he said, 'Yeah, you have to just do it when you think of it.'
Our 12-year-old spoke then and made an interesting connection that convinced me he'd understood both lessons: 'It's like reefing. You have to do it when you first think of it.'"

Herald Sun: Hollywood charity man jailed [24aug04]: "A HOLLYWOOD fundraiser who organised events featuring such celebrities as former US president Bill Clinton was today jailed for more than five years for fraud.
Aaron Tonken, 38, was sentenced to 63 months behind bars after admitting fraudulently diverting hundreds of thousands of dollars destined for charity galas and using the cash to pay off his own credit card bills.
The fundraiser, who is writing a tell-all book about his political money-raining activities, siphoned off cash he raised for a charity gala billed as a tribute to diva Diana Ross, an event that never took place.
Tonken also helped produce several charitable fundraisers which included the casts of the hit US television shows The Practice and Ally McBeal"

The Art of Giving In to a Giver"People ask how I could turn over such power to Eli," says Andrea Rich, LACMA's president and director. "But I ask myself, is there a member of our board who has more experience in building or working with international architects, or who has more money and viability in terms of carrying this off, or has better taste in art and architecture, or has higher standards?"
