ABC News: Paul Allen: World's Sixth-Richest Man and Bill Gates 'Quirky Twin': "As Microsoft's somber Bill Gates expands his $29 billion foundation for global health and education, the company's more exuberant co-founder has been spending his own fortune — now about $16 billion — like a kid in a candy store.
In the family of Microsoft, Paul Gardner Allen is the quirky twin of his boyhood friend William Henry Gates III, whose $53 billion net worth and public persona tower over Allen's."

Topic Expert Opinion
The nonprofit sector has come a long way in its use of the Internet. In the last six years, funds raised online by nonprofits have grown from $250 million in 2000 to more than $5 billion in 2006. The pace of growth today continues to be strong. In fact, estimates suggest industry average online fundraising growth continues to exceed 30 percent per year.
Just as online fundraising has grown, so has the adoption of online marketing technology. In 1999, less than 15 percent of nonprofits had Web sites. Few were taking gifts online, and even fewer were collecting and sending emails. While many large, sophisticated groups had built robust Web sites, they suffered from disparate systems that were cumbersome, expensive to maintain and ineffective for building holistic constituent relationships across functions and channels."

Berresford focused on new and old types of philanthropic organizations, stressing her dislike for labels, and encouraged a more united attempt at attacking social issues. The Ford Foundation, which was established in 1936, is the second-largest foundation in the United States.
'We should not be using this old-new dichotomy that separates people,' Berresford said. 'We can instead try to see what is new and exciting that can help our field to be better.'"

Editorials | Rhode Island news | projo.com | The Providence Journal: "The opening years of the 21st Century have not been happy ones for many nonprofits in Rhode Island. High taxes have driven many rich people away from the state, for at least more than half of the year, and with them went the charitable dollars that are crucial to helping our neediest citizens and maintaining the region’s quality of life.
Matters were made worse by a 2001 state Supreme Court ruling that found that charitable giving could be used to determine residency for tax purposes. Since then, accountants have been advising their clients who live more than six months of the year in Florida or other low-tax states: If you don’t want to be taxed as if you live in Rhode Island, don’t give a cent here."

John Kostrzewa | Rhode Island news | projo.com | The Providence Journal: "Nonprofits, by some analyses, are running neck and neck with tourism as the state’s second-largest employer and ahead of manufacturing, once the state’s biggest industry but now on a steady decline.
There are two ways to look at the expansion of nonprofits.
It’s good news that there are places for people to do worthwhile work that benefits the community. And the growth of nonprofits during the recession earlier this decade certainly stabilized an uneven economy and helped fill job losses.
On the other hand, however, do we really want to build an economy on a service sector that traditionally doesn’t pay as well as technology, financial services or manufacturing?"
