Baptist missions leader quits | ajc.com: "Baptist missions leader quits
Management of finances questioned
By By GAYLE WHITE
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 04/18/06
The president of the Southern Baptist Convention's domestic missions agency resigned Monday, two months after a Georgia Baptist newspaper raised questions about his leadership.
The Rev. Robert Reccord had headed the North American Mission Board, based in Alpharetta, since it was created from three other agencies in 1997. With a 2006 budget of $124 million, the agency is responsible for the 15-million-member denomination's new churches, evangelism, disaster relief and broadcast ministries in the United States and Canada."

Gannett News Service
It can be lonely at the top — even if you're the executive director of a nonprofit organization. Not only are you trying to keep the board, staff and clients happy despite their different needs, but you also must be a financial magician and constant cheerleader to raise money.
Most people, including executive directors, work at a nonprofit because they love the cause and the work.
Yet three of four executives in the nonprofit sector plan to leave their jobs within five years, according to a recent study by CompassPoint Nonprofit Services, a consulting group in San Francisco, and The Meyer Foundation."

Big givers ranked for the first time( Colonial Williamsburg)
Big givers ranked for the first time: "A Who's Who of philanthropists to Colonial Williamsburg has been assembled to honor them, and attract more.
The Philanthropy Courtyard at the entrance of the Visitor Center was quietly unveiled to honor those who have donated at least $1 million to the foundation since it was established in 1926.
The list is intriguing because it's the first time any ranking of the biggest givers has been made public, not to mention prominently. As one might expect, the top tiers are dominated by Rockefellers and other names familiar for the buildings they endowed. "

CITIZEN-TIMES.com: Future of national parks depends on efforts of many
CITIZEN-TIMES.com: Future of national parks depends on efforts of many: "Park philanthropies have traditionally provided the National Park Service with funds that provide a margin of excellence, but continued federal under funding could force them to provide a margin of survival. This is unfair to the donor who has made a good faith contribution with the expectation that their gift will support the “excellence” factor. This arrangement could even potentially establish a form of double taxation: a donor pays for parks once via the IRS, and the second time via a charitable gift to compensate, unwittingly, for a park operations offset."

Two Raleigh museums are looking more closely at how a merger would work.

Millions of dollars in charitable contributions from Vice President Cheney and his wife, Lynne, will nearly double the budget of a scholarship fund for low-income area teenagers to attend private schools and will help George Washington University create a center to study heart disease.
The Cheneys' 2005 federal tax return, released by the White House late last week, shows that they made a $2.7 million donation to the Cardiothoracic Institute of George Washington University Medical Center, where the vice president has been treated for heart ailments."

Blogs began mainly are personal “web logs” and a few intrepid museum professionals that have been adding their voices to the blogosphere. Museums have also begun to use blogs as ways to reach out to their audiences, by providing behind-the-scenes updates on renovations and exhibit development, a place for conversations about exhibits, and to discuss topics of professional practice.
I thought a good way to introduce myself to the Musematic audience was to talk a little about what blogs do for me and how I generally use them."

The Bush administration has ordered America's national parks to show that they can function at 80 percent or less of their operating budgets, which is forcing some parks to cut services for visitors as summer approaches.
National Park Service officials said the initiative was an effort to cope with the rising costs of salaries, utilities and other management expenses without harming the parks' 'core' missions of protecting the nation's natural treasures and enabling visitors to enjoy them. The Park Service has more than 270 million visitors annually."
