FLiP News Digest

Good afternoon FLiPs! We have two interesting articles for you to check out this week. First, take a look at this article by onPhilanthropys publisher Tom Watson. Tom discusses philanthropy trends for the next generation of givers. As our careers advance, the next generation will become our principal donors. It is vital that we understand their motivations and mindsets. Tom’s post goes somewhat hand in hand with FLiP’s “Generous Nation” post from last week. Is giving money away becoming an American “value”? Will it be more central to our lives in the future?

Also in the vein of trends in philanthropy, take a look at this New York Times article about philanthropy from coast to coast. In this article the Times profiles the NewTithing Group, which uses an interesting (and controversial) formula to determine which states have the most philanthropic populations. You may be surprised at what they discovered.

Enjoy the articles, and have a great weekend!
