COO Matt Beem's article, "The Power of Giving" was featured in the Examiner, online at www.examiner.net. Asks Beem, "Which came first - philanthropy or fundraising? My clients and I volley the question back and forth each month. Some donors are self-motivated. They support their Boy Scout troop because they believe in Scouting. They give to their PTA to enrich their children's education. They spring for their alma mater to ensure their names are listed in the alumni magazine. If you're such a philanthropist, thanks. You make my job easier. The challenge for fundraising isn't that some in our society give of their own volition. It's that most in the profession are satisfied with such giving - lulling themselves into believing they were essential facilitators of the over-the-transom support that constitutes the majority of many institutions' philanthropy."
