| Donations with dividends, like cruises and puppies By Deborah L. Jacobs, reporter, The New York Times  Concerned about how the deepening financial crisis would affect its Oct. 17 fund-raiser and auction, the Helen Hayes Awards, a nonprofit organization that supports Washington theater, sent a letter the week before the event to supporters who had not yet responded to the invitation. It urged recipients to engage in "wholesale therapy" at the auction by bidding on exotic vacations and experiences that would build lifelong memories for their children.
A Russian Dream package that included two business-class tickets to Moscow, an eight-day luxury cruise on the Volga River and three nights at a five-star hotel in St. Petersburg, valued at $20,568, went for $10,000 at the live auction. Read more. |

| Sponsor's insight Who evaluates the evaluators? By Amir Pasic, Ph.D., Eugene R. Tempel Dean, IU Lilly Family School of Philanthropy For generations, philanthropic foundations often have been regarded with near reverence by many in the nonprofit sector for the perceived change that they promote. Others have raised questions about the relative benefits the nation's 86,192 foundations provide to society. Today, one of the most frequent questions in philanthropy remains: Can we measure the difference foundations make? Kenneth Prewitt, former Rockefeller Foundation executive, foundation scholar and Carnegie Professor of Public Affairs at Columbia University is among those who argue that it is increasingly important for foundations to effectively track, measure and share whether the work they fund actually helps make a difference.
