Charity Village� NewsWeek: Coffee with Cam: "So let me share that challenge with the AFP. I think they can add to the success and vibrancy of Philanthropy Day. And, please, understand this is not criticism...merely a suggestion. I applaud how philanthropists are recognized. I also think it's wonderful that Philanthropy Day brings all types of people together and makes them feels good about themselves.
I just wonder, though. The name is Philanthropy Day, right? While it's great - absolutely great - to honour people for their leadership and unfailing commitment to the community, is there any way the event could raise funds for a charity? Maybe a portion of the ticket. Perhaps a table event."

Managing Volunteer Resources: an evolving profession
Managing volunteer resources: An evolving profession
November 22, 2004
By Louise Chatterton Luchuk
When you ask Mary McKillop, CAVR, director of volunteer resources at Vancouver's Providence Health Centre, to describe the evolution of the volunteer resource management profession she harkens back to the days when you hired a "warm body with a caring heart." Today's criteria for hiring includes competencies, related degrees, and certification. If you ask Judy Lister, CAVR, volunteer resources coordinator at The Manitoba Museum and former president of the Manitoba Association for Volunteer Administration, to describe the evolution of her own volunteer resource management profession, she'll tell you that like most people, she "slid in from another area." From there she made career and education choices that led to certification in volunteer resource management

MSNBC - The top givers
MSNBC - The top givers: "Warren Buffett is famous for two things. First, for amassing the second-biggest fortune in the U.S. as one of the most talented investors the world has ever known. Second, for an aversion to spending a dime of that $41 billion on anything but the strictly necessary. That includes declining to provide his kids with fortunes of their own, collecting yachts or racehorses, or giving large chunks of his wealth to worthy causes. Thus it may strike some as the supreme paradox that the man who is one of America's greatest misers in life will probably become "

An incident report about a local nonprofit's handling of grant money has been forwarded to the U.S. Department of Labor Office of the Inspector General for investigation.

Perhaps it is because we are in “God’s country” and are taught as youngsters to share with those less fortunate or it could be that North Carolina knows corporate philanthropy is just good business. For years companies have provided funding, volunteers, and in-kind resources to support education, health care, and a myriad of other causes with varied levels of effectiveness.
Today, corporate philanthropy is a critical part of North Carolina’s success in meeting the needs of millions of citizens and a few companies are taking bold new directions in their philanthropic efforts.
