Stronger Together 2010
I have some exciting news! For a few months now, a group of funders have been talking about how we can better serve our charity partners. So often we urge organizations to work together, to collaborate, to leverage each others networks and strengths for a common purpose. But as funders, we’ve typically worked in isolation from one another, and sometimes, it must be said, at cross-purposes. So eight of us (seven foundations and one couple) hav

Can I brag a bit?
My sister-in-law Kim sent me an exceptional gift this week — it came in the form of a voluminous email attachment. Charting the Unknown is her first book, to be published in March 2010 by Los Angeles-based Behler Publications. I was touched that she trusted me with her baby … aside from her husband, kids

Canadian philanthropy gathering
I’m participating in the annual gathering of Canadian philanthropists in a Calgary hotel this week. This is the third annual conference of Philanthropic Foundations Canada in its short 10-year history. And it’s becoming quite a big deal. Last night it was announced that PFC will surpass 100 members by the end of the year. (A list of current members is found here.) My friend Hulene from the Lyle S. Hallman Foundation
