		<description><![CDATA[In conversations with a few charities this week there has been a repeated theme of how to engage and appreciate donors. It&#8217;s been encouraging that the ones I met with have moved beyond simply seeing their supporters as cash machines they can get funds out of if they push the right buttons. Still, there does [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this week the Toronto Star reported that former US President George W. Bush would be speaking at an invitation only breakfast for donors to Tyndale University, one of Canada&#8217;s most prominent Christian post-secondary schools and probably North America&#8217;s most diverse. Not surprisingly, this generated some strong responses. Yesterday Tyndale announced that the event has [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Engage, Equip, Empower, Evaluate Engage: I still see organizations where staff, volunteers, clients, board, and donors are lacking commitment and energy.
