Thanks to a WSJ article, I found a wealth of information on Laura Arrillaga-Andressen's website at giving2.com. Laura teaches Philanthropy at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business and her bio alone is worth reading. But don't stop there! This website has a wealth of information including "project u" where she has uploaded her class lectures, syllabi, and case studies. It will take several hours of exploring to get all the valuable resources you can find on this site.
Also, I love Apps. I am not sure how I ever got along without my iPhone or iPad, but I am definitely glad I have them now. A while back I found an App that is helping me remember names and how I know people. Whoodl lets you enter a name and then an almost unlimited amount of reminders, facts, data, whatever it takes to jog your memory. Then when you run across someone and you can't remember their name, annual gift, or why you know them, just put in anything you know about them in the search window and up comes all the possibilities. It's great for those moments when you see that big donor and draw a total blank on their name and all the details you would just love to know at that very moment.
