Minnesota Council on Foundations Blog – Philanthropy Potluck

What other local and national bloggers are saying about philanthropy and nonprofits:

• Make the World a Better Place Without Spending a Cent
  Getting Attention: The Give List, a Web 2.0 “brainstorm,” details 71 free ways to support communities and causes.
• The Stockdale Paradox
  Balancing the Mission Checkbook: Recently, I’ve been paraphrasing one of my favorite leadership quotes because it fits the moment perfectly – the Stockdale Paradox: You must maintain unwavering faith that you can and will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties, and at the same time have the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.
• There Ain’t No Such Thing as a Free Software Package
  Idealware: “We can’t afford to pay anything – what can we get that’s free?” No question riles me up more. This is a really dangerous mindset. Would you think this way for other types of investments? Things worth having are worth paying for.
• Blogging for Job Offers
  Give and Take: A nonprofit job seeker is taking the creative approach of donating volunteer time to all organizations that grant him an interview. He’s also blogging about the experience.
• John & Kate Plus St. Jude
  Charity Navigator Blog: Product placement seems to be the way of the future for advertising with all sorts of consumer goods making appearances in our favorite TV shows and movies. Now it seems that charities are getting in on the act.
