 | There's an ocean of need out there, and our single small donation can seem like a drop in the bucket. But that drop matters, says one unlikely philantrhopist who challenged herself to give until it didn't hurt.
Imagine you're walking past a shallow pond where a tiny child has fallen in and appears to be drowning. Do you rush in and rescue the child? Of course. What if it means ruining your new shoes? Of course - even if they're really, really nice shoes. You don't think twice. Philosopher... |

But lately, some founders or their immediate successors are spending their full endowments and closing down. Other donors are creating new foundations with a limited life span.
What brought about these changes? Endowments were battered by the recent financial crisis. And for... |

| Every year, the average household gives away roughly 3 percent of their annual income. Yet while we are still feeling the enormous effects of the country’s recession, there exists a group of families in America who pledge to give away 50 percent of their wealth. Welcome to the “Bolder Giving” club, started in 1997 by Christopher and Anne Ellinger as a way to make it easier for individuals and families to give more effectively. While the club is over 120 families strong, these... |
| A shuttle picked us up from the train in Chappaqua, N.Y. The driver was intent on getting us to the retreat center, racing through several small upper N.Y. townships a tad too fast. It was the opening of the Creating Change Through Family Philanthropy Retreat run by Resource Generation, and to the driver it was obviously not to be missed. Along the empty tree-lined streets, we passed only one solitary figure trundling along the edge of the half-paved road. That brief glimpse was my... |
