		<description><![CDATA[
It&#8217;s certainly not the only service of its type, but the relatively new Crowdwise.com &#8212; founded in part by actor Ed Norton &#8212; was profiled in Sunday&#8217;s New York Times.   He and his partners do seem to have at least a basic grasp on individual fundraising:
He knows that a majority of people who now donate [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Experts-on-everything McKinsey &#38; Co. issued its official recommendations to the US Postal Service at a conference in Washington this week.  While they are only recommendations and are non-binding (a USPS spokesperson said the consultant was instructed to “investigate all possible options&#8221;), Bloomberg News stresses in its report that not only would it be good to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is Text-to-Donate Here to Stay?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Convio released a study yesterday (summarized neatly on USA Today&#8217;s &#8220;Kindness&#8221; blog) about the frenzy of mobile philanthropy or texts-to-donate that happened around the Haiti earthquake.  At least $50 million was raised this way, from about 6.5 million people.

		<title>Wealthy Still Feeling Charitable, but Giving Less</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Wall Street Journal reports on a recent PNC study of major donors, showing that many still “feel an obligation to give back to their community”  and through non-profits.  That&#8217;s unchanged over the last few years and is good news in this tough economy.
However, those fine sentiments aren&#8217;t translating into the same gifts they might [...]]]></description>

		<title>White House goes after charitable deductions&#8230;again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thanks, DMA Nonprofit Federation, for passing along this article from Politco&#8217;s Ben Smith about how President Obama&#8217;s proposed budget affects non-profits.  A proposal in Obama&#8217;s 2009 budget that would reduce the value of deductions such as mortgage interest and charitable contributions for people in the highest tax brackets was widely assumed by many from all [...]]]></description>
