  • link iconOver at Nonprofit Quarterly Rick Cohen takes the Case Foundation to task for its “pitch competition” idea/fiasco at the recent Council on Foundations conference.
  • In Crain’s Chicago Business, Terry Mazany of The Chicago Community Trust offers a slice of optimism, however small, about the challenges of the Windy City.
  • An idea gaining traction in policy circles is that philanthropy can work alongside government to produce bold solutions to our problems. Cue Michael Bloomberg.
  • New York’s Attorney General is about to bring the hammer down on nonprofit boards thanks to the board of trustees of the no-longer-tuition-free Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art. The AG also doesn’t fear Oprah.
