Celebrating Philanthropy -- UPDATED

November is Celebrating Philanthropy Month at the Foundation Center, and in honor of the occasion we've assembled a collection of Web recommendations from a number of distinguished practitioners in the field. We've also included a selection of related readings and links to more than three dozen philanthropy-related news items from 2005, along with excerpts of Newsmaker interviews with Audrey Alvarado, executive director, National Council of Nonprofit Associations, and Rusty Stahl, founding executive director, Emerging Practitioners in Philanthropy.

As always, we welcome your suggestions and comments. Please send an e-mail to pnd@fdncenter.org.
