• Commentary: Carefully Consider Aid to Japan

Our thoughts continue to be with those affected by the recent earthquake, aftershocks and tsunami in Japan. The preliminary numbers on those affected by these disasters are staggering. Japanese police estimate that the death toll from the quake and tsunami will surpass 18,000, while the World Bank reports that it could take five years to rebuild, at a cost of up to $235 billion. With the scale of destruction and resulting needs vast, people have responded accordingly with quick and significant contributions to support relief efforts.

• Commentary: Charity Inc.: Make the Most of End-of-Year Giving

There is good news in the world of charitable giving: 62 percent of nonprofits raised more in November and December 2010 than in the same months of 2009, as surveyed by The Chronicle of Philanthropy. The Fidelity Charitable Giving Season study predicts this trend will hold for the end of 2011, as three out of four Americans plan to give at least the same amount or more to charities as they did last year. This means 2011 end-of-year giving could be even more significant for your organization than in previous years.
