The Light Shines Through:
AFP’s Diversity Art Showcase
One of the key values of Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in Baltimore is “leadership in service,” in which students become lifelong “men and women for others.” The young men and women are taught to manifest a genuine concern for those in need by thinking and acting as community leaders for the common good. The school, in fact, prepares the next generation of philanthropists.

2009 Giving Goes Up 2% and Erases ’08 loss! :Bob Hartsook’s Blog
2009 Giving Goes Up 2% and Erases ’08 loss! :Bob Hartsook’s Blog: "The head of the Center on Philanthropy spoke at the AFP International Conference in Baltimore a couple of weeks ago. He said many things, but one in particular that I think the world needs to hear.
The loss of $6 billion in giving in 2008 should be celebrated and not viewed as a prescription for future failure. He said, “Only 6 billion?!? Wow. The resolve of our country to give is so great.” While other parts of the economy tanked 40%, giving went down only $6 billion. I agree and said so at the time. Thanks, Patrick for expressing that sentiment. It is right on."

There is the old axiom about things happening in threes and a recent experience with this has made me contemplate how we view and promote our profession of fundraising.
First, I heard Archbishop Desmond Tutu speak at the AFP International Conference in Baltimore where he told 3,000 plus fundraisers that we have ‘a noble calling’. And that through our work children around the world are fed, human rights are fought for and supported, sick people are taken care of and children are educated. It was moving, eloquent and hugely affirming of our profession."
