Non-philanthropy bloggers are reading the COF coverage and highlighting their favorite posts from the Blog Team.
-
Lucy Bernholz’s take on all the “Next Generation” hoopla at COF.
-
Very interesting new site from Neighborhood Funders Group and the Aspen Institute that has received funding from The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Ford Foundation.
-
The Chronicle’s coverage of the session on foundations being involved with politics. I don’t understand why Robert Egger wasn’t on this panel.
-
Hilarious (but insightful) post by Lucy Bernholz on why “Next Gen” was hot at COF, but “The Elders” were the players at “Global Philanthropy Forum”.
-
My Blog Team is cheating on me and cross-posting to other sites. Oh well, I’m glad that COF and SSIR (and it seems institutional philanthropy in general) have decided to accept blogs as a real force and not a novelty.)
-
I’ll talk more about this great new blog after the COF conference ends. But I had to link to this post. Maybe I just miss my two kids who I haven’t seen since Saturday, but I think Sharon is tapping into something important.
-
Diana Sieger says that she is not as crabby as previous posts suggest and that her staff if following along with COF via the blogs.
-
My friend Tim Ogden of Philanthropy Action takes a critical look at the COF human rights session. Whether you agree with him or not, this is one of the most well written posts on the conference.

Hi Sean, I sincerely hope that my cross-posting on SSIR is not perceived as ‘cheating’ on Tactical Philanthropy. Our mission as bloggers is to move knowledge and actionable opportunities to where people are. In my coverage of this event, I posted in three places: my own blog, your blog, and SSIR. My goal was to give as many people as possible a view of the conference through a “micro-philanthropy” perspective.
You’ve done a really fabulous job organizing the blog team, arranging for our “un-reception” at the sports bar (so we could finally meet each other), and keeping the conversation running through the Tactical Philanthropy comments. I would feel terrible if my cross-posting was perceived as disloyalty. Keep up the great work.
Spread the good word Peter! I’m completely giving you a hard time. I hadn’t thought about the implications of copyright, but the blog team members all own their words and can post them anywhere. Thanks for participating!
