Don't worry, be happy
Don't worry, be happy: "The declining importance of wealth is a natural progression, said Paul Schervish, director of the center for wealth and philanthropy at Boston College. Making a lot of money can become less realistic as people grow older, Schervish said, and their perspective can also change with experience, such as becoming a parent. "

Nonprofits Fear Fallout From Sale (washingtonpost.com)
Nonprofits Fear Fallout From Sale (washingtonpost.com)It sounds like great news -- Columbia's Rouse Co. Foundation will grow to nearly four times its size with a $20 million gift that's part of the company's $7.2 billion sale to a Chicago real estate investment trust.
But Howard County community leaders still worry that the sale to General Growth Properties Inc. means that Rouse's longstanding role as the community's largest corporate benefactor will wane in ways that such a big donation can't offset.

It's getting close to the holidays again, a time when I decide which social and political organizations are going to get my donation money. Unfortunately, it's also the time of year when I'm reminded of the harsher realities facing our communities. And like clockwork, every 12 months I come to the same conclusion -- I give only to gay causes. More on that in a moment.

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

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.”

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.'"
