		<title>POWER SPEAKS, DIVERSITY LISTENS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“Philanthropy is the gateway to power… there are few people who decide what will happen in our world. You have been invited to join them – pull back the  curtain and take your seat.” 
– Bertram Cooper to Don Draper in an episode of the AMC television series “Mad Men.”
There’s an old saying that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=futurephilanthropy.wordpress.com&blog=2030512&post=28&subd=futurephilanthropy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Changing Momentum</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The last week of July I experienced two amazing bookend events: Momentum and Raising Change.  Allow me to paint with broad stokes a picture of these two conferences that does not do justice to the complexities and nuances of each. 
 
Momentum was the star vehicle &#8212; a major event that featured leading thinkers and opinion leaders on [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=futurephilanthropy.wordpress.com&blog=2030512&post=24&subd=futurephilanthropy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Missing Moment at Momentum</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
In late July I was fortunate to have been able to attend Momentum, a social justice conference that brings together donors, academics and activists to engage in “big picture” thinking about emerging issues, strategies and opportunities.  This was my first time attending this event, which was at time sobering but mostly inspiring. Each day reminded [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=futurephilanthropy.wordpress.com&blog=2030512&post=21&subd=futurephilanthropy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>AB624: GONE BABY GONE</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
On Tuesday the report came: an agreement had been reached between some of the largest foundations in California and the sponsor of a bill that would have mandated collection of diversity data from private foundations with more than $250 million in assets. But what are the implications of this foundation-initiated alternative to a legislative to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=futurephilanthropy.wordpress.com&blog=2030512&post=19&subd=futurephilanthropy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Dignified Philanthropy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Effective Philanthropy, Strategic Philanthropy and other terms have taken center stage in the current discourse about foundation practice. I find myself wondering if those terms really capture what people – policymakers, nonprofits and the general public – might want to get from philanthropy, i.e., is what would they view as  the sector’s true and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=futurephilanthropy.wordpress.com&blog=2030512&post=18&subd=futurephilanthropy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Other Diversity in Philanthropy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The headlines and the conference brochures tell the story: diversity in philanthropy has hit the big time. AB624 might have been the catalyst for a discussion that is now expanding and growing richer in substance. To date the discourse about diversity in philanthropy has centered on a call for foundations to recruit more diverse staff [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=futurephilanthropy.wordpress.com&blog=2030512&post=16&subd=futurephilanthropy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>At the Movies: Philanthropy and Pop Culture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This week I went to the movies to see Iron Man. Robert Downey, Jr., as a famed comic book character? What brilliant casting. As the executive director of an organization that cares deeply about philanthropy, I live and dream about philanthropy (I know &#8211; kinda&#8217; sad). While enjoying the film I could not help but [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=futurephilanthropy.wordpress.com&blog=2030512&post=15&subd=futurephilanthropy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Scarcity vs. Abundance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
When I was a child I received a lesson in abundance that has lasted a lifetime. We were poor and so from my limited view everything was scarce. Then I recall a night when a woman came by with her three kids asking for help. My mother took half of the milk we had in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=futurephilanthropy.wordpress.com&blog=2030512&post=13&subd=futurephilanthropy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Please note that the comments on social justice philanthropy gathered at the Philanthropy 2.0 reception were from different people &#8211; not me &#8211; they simply did not identify themselves.
