A Better Way to Give at the Office
Sun Dec 7 2008  
The Washington Post's Close to Home op-ed page features an article that highlights the Catalogue's partnership with CGI Federal and our new co-branded portal. It begins, "Workplace philanthropy campaigns during the holidays need to be given the pink slip. This shortsighted fundraising model not only gets lost in the sea of December personal spending; it also encourages a one-shot approach to doing good that limits the ability of service agencies and nonprofits to meet dire year-round needs. Even when the economy is doing well, concentrated giving during a single, compressed time period makes little sense. It's not as if poverty, homelessness, hunger and health issues disappear after the holidays." The portal is described as a good corporate model for cultivating deep and lasting donor-recipient partnerships. The Catalogue's other Portal Partners are TTR Sotheby's International Realty and Booz Allen Hamilton.

Wed Oct 15 2008

Longtime college professors, they'd already set aside enough money for their own retirement, so they decided to give away most of the unexpected windfall -- about $400,000. Then came the tough part: determining how best to donate their money. It's an enviable challenge, and one a growing number of older Americans are facing.
