29 Questions for better philanthropic conversations

Charlie Rose will be leading their charge to change this from 7am-8am, bringing a serious tone to an otherwise increasingly witty, wacky and pop-culture-filled hour led by NBC’s ‘Today’ and ABC’s ‘Good Morning America’. Rose is perhaps the single best interviewer I have ever seen. His questions get to the heart of issues and people, facilitating a beautiful dialogue, filled with insightful verbal challenges, full disclosure and shared understanding.

5 Nonprofit High Points in 2012
"#GivingTuesday - A new national fundraising day made its debut on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving—and beat its organizers’ expectations. About 2,600 charities from all 50 states joined the #GivingTuesday campaign, which encouraged consumers to open their wallets one more time after shopping on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The brainchild of Henry Timms, deputy executive director of New York’s 92nd Street Y, the event prompted a  spike  in online donations. Network for Good, the online donation processor, recorded a 154.6 increase in gifts over the same day a year earlier."   Read about the other nonprofit high points, by pressing the 'View Original Post' button below! ›
