– "The heart of philanthropy is spiritual." Left brain, right heart is a great concept, used here on the subject of philanthropy by Randall Ottinger. I might add that the "right" also could refer to being ‘upright’ or even ‘righteous’ in our generosity.
– NYTimes has an article on philanthropy and blogs. Quote:
"Philanthropy has been late to the game of blogging, hardly a surprise in a field that has operated on personal relationships and reputations earned over decades. But just as charities have learned in recent years to use e-mail blasts to solicit support, their executives are getting used to a digital world in which there are fewer secrets than in the past."

Ok, so what on earth is a ‘philanthropic marketplace’ (last line of the linked blog)?
joe – with questions like that i will have to think about starting a separate blog.
Sounds like made-up jargon to me. Even talking as if philanthropy was a free-market activity is the wrong approach IMO.
well joe, when you have a lot of money to give away, i will tell you exactly where to invest it rather than giving you some options. hows that?
OK, you got me. I’m never going to have a lot of money to give away…
