In an upcoming post I'll talk about the importance of feedback. Feedback is essential for the nonprofit sector to learn and get stronger. Or, to use your categories, to refine, discard, and create new tools. It's not enough to count on what's already in your toolbox, sometimes you have to stop by the corner hardware store--or go borrow one from a neighbor! --Jacob Matthew,

I think you’re absolutely right here. In an upcoming post I’ll talk about the importance of feedback. Feedback is essential for the nonprofit sector to learn and get stronger. Or, to use your categories, to refine, discard, and create new tools.

It’s not enough to count on what’s already in your toolbox, sometimes you have to stop by the corner hardware store–or go borrow one from a neighbor!

I love the metaphor of the mitten and toolbox... however, I feel the need to challenge the metaphor on one point. Philanthrophy has the unique opportunity to refine existing 'tools', to encourage that ineffective 'tools' be discarded and, perhaps most importantly, to create new 'tools'. In many social sectors, the nonprofit models meant to improve the lives of individuals are simply not working. I am hopeful that your future posts will develop your metaphor along these lines.
