		<description><![CDATA[The majority of the time we are very pleased with how our grants work and the organizations with which we work. Occasionally things get messy. When we find ourselves frustrated or it becomes obvious that there are real problems happening I find it helpful to have a basic approach that ensures that I accomplish what [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We would all agree that it is unethical to keep to separate sets of financial reports, targeted to get better receptions from certain people. We know that presenting ourselves as one thing on a first date that is really not true is a recipe for eventual trouble. And yet, in many situations the resolution of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last December I retweeted CBC host Jian Ghomeshi: Lots of other people retweeted it, which makes sense because it represents what has become common understanding in the development field. There are lots of reports supporting the idea that aid given to women results in benefits to their family and community, while aid given to men [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently I got an email from a young leader I&#8217;ve known for many years. The short sentences and urgent tone of the message were unmistakable. He&#8217;d just been told that his employer no longer wanted him around. My heart went out to him. I know how much he&#8217;s done to prepare for this kind of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the last week I&#8217;ve read two interesting articles from Outside magazine on prominent American charity figures who have brought both great positives (in terms of raising both profile and funds), and significant negatives (critical press and serious questions about the real impact of the organization) to their causes. While the stories on Greg Mortensen [...]]]></description>

		<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>

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>
