If you’re interested in corporate giving, you’ll enjoy this podcast on IT Conversations.
The commentators are Atlanta Mcllwraith, Timberland; Douglas Sabo, McAfee, Inc.; Steve Wright Salesforce.com Foundation.
All three make good points, but I especially liked Steve’s comments on Salesforce.com’s expectations of doing well by doing good.
If after listening to the podcast you’re concerned that nonprofits are selling their souls to Corporate America, reading this might make you feel better. With a little luck, they’ll soon be able to sell them to anyone on eBay.
Even if nonprofits end up in Hell, they certainly won’t be alone. This guy will be a headliner. But if a recent visitor to my blog has his way, I’ll be the opening act. "You and yours are a cancer on this land, a plague of vampires sent to steal from us our vital energies, through guilt."
Here’s hoping I stay "undead" for a long, long time.

The 3 day march is $90 per person which is not at all unreasonable. The problem is the $2250 that you are required to raise. In the small print it states, and they as i found out enforce. They will bill your credit or debit card for the balance. This is ridiculous…….. if you can help me get the real story of this scam to the world let me know… thanks
