Welcome to the latest issue of the Philanthropy UK Newsletter. We hope that 2007 has been a rewarding year for all our readers, and on behalf of the Editorial Board, I wish you a vibrant and philanthropic 2008!
We open this issue with our own seasonal appeal by urging our readers to make becoming an effective giver one of your New Year’s resolutions. We also offer some major gift ideas for the holiday season.
Recent circumstances surrounding two corporately supported foundations have highlighted both the impact that such corporate philanthropy can have, and the risks it poses. Our Spotlight on corporate foundations explores the unique risks they face, the question of independence, and how best they can meet these challenges.
Elsewhere, we are delighted to welcome Melissa Berman, President and CEO of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, who will be penning a new regular column, Letter from America.
The events reports, courtesy of Alliance magazine, will continue to be published in the online version of the Newsletter.
As always, we are especially grateful to all our guest contributors, whose efforts continue to enrich these pages. We thank our readers for your support, and urge you to engage further with us. If you would like to comment on this issue, or to contribute an original article, please contact me at editor@philanthropyuk.org.
Best wishes,
Susan Mackenzie: editor
