A list of 100 Incredible Philanthropy blogs has just been released. They kindly sent me an email to tell my that my blog was on the list. Thanks!!!! I am listed under the ‘faith based philanthropy’ section along with some other blogs that are worth checking out. A blog that should have been on that list, although it is not updated very often, is that of my friend Lee Behar which dedicated to philanthropy from a Christian faith perspective. Lots of helpful information from an insider on that one. Topping the 100 list is the great blog Tactical Philanthropy by Sean Stannard-Stockton with whom I have enjoyed a little email banter last year related to a big philanthropy event he is involved in called Council on Foundations.
Most of my blog posts on the subject are located under the category “Philanthropy”. I just added about a dozen other posts, including “How to ask Foundations for Money” and “5 Ways for Ministries to Get Over the Recession” to that list because I noticed they were not tagged at all and were lost deep down in my blog.
It may not be a big surprise for you to hear that much our present journey all over Europe is connected with ministries that we have been helping to support financially as well as with leadership training and teaching. Nothing beats actually turning up in person to see the great things that these ministries are doing with the funds they have received. It means a lot of travel on our part but so much happens through trust relationships which can only be nurtured through personal visitation. And I am happy to report that all the ministries we recommended for funding have used the funds wisely and economically. Well done! I will be preparing some reports over the next week and it is a huge relief for me to have some good news to send back, esp. in these times when money has been tightened up for a while.
Way to go bud!
Thanks for sharing these! I can’t WAIT to dig in.
Hello!
I am contacting any blogs within the philanthropy world in hopes that they might help spread the word about Omprakash’s new short film about a volunteer who bikes a 1,000 miles to share a very important message with the world
