Red Beans & Rice is a weekly e-mail of interesting articles, funding resources, professional development opportunities and other areas that Cuidiu has come across the previous week related to the nonprofit and philanthropic sector. Each day we receive hundreds of e-mails, RSS feeds and blog postings and this is our attempt to synthesize all of this into the most useful information for you. We look forward to sharing this information with those who we know closely and those whom we have shared only a relationship through e-mail.
Please let us know what information you find most useful and please forward this information to your colleagues, board members and friends. The reason for the name Red Beans & Rice originates from Louie Armstrong and how he signed his letters. According to some he meant it as a kind gesture to grow stronger.
Pablo Eisenberg in the WSJ In the November 9th issue of the WSJ, an opinion piece highlights Eisenberg criticizing the state of philanthropy in the U.S. and proposing his fixes.
Charter for Compassion "The Charter of Compassion
is a cooperative effort to restore not only compassionate thinking but,
more importantly, compassionate action to the center of religious,
moral and political life."

programs in conservation and science, population, and children's
issues. Includes history and grantee profiles and features the Lucile

and neglect, including epidemiological perspectives; the roles of

treatment, and the child protection system; and sexual abuse prevention."
We're hearing mixed messages, so which is it? Is the sun going to shine on next year's numbers for foundtions or are those storm clouds descending?
Is giving up or down?
We know that the economic crisis has affected foundations' bottom lines, but the difference for some philanthropists lies in their philosophy and motivation behind giving.
