Spring 2010: Digital for donors

In this edition we garner views from commentators and practitioners across the sector in a broad look at how web and mobile technology is engaging and informing donors and innovating the way they give.

We have also asked our contributors to focus on digital technology; our guest EuroView writer Michael Alberg-Seberich, executive partner of Active Philanthropy, offers a thoughtful piece on ‘trust’, while Melissa Berman,  CEO of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, urges philanthropists and those who advise and encourage them to harness the power of the digital tools available..

Our guest philanthropist is David Erasmus, a digital entrepreneur and very much the face of ‘e-philanthropy’. At 25, Erasmus has already made major contributions to philanthropy with several projects in South Africa. In My philanthropic journey, he shares his motivations for giving, instilled at a young age, and describes how he is applying digital technology to philanthropic ends.

Tim Joss, director of the Rayne Foundation, also shares his thoughts, revealing his reading inspirations in Influential reader.

We hope you enjoy this issue of our newsletter and welcome feedback to editor@philanthropyuk.org.

Best wishes,

Cheryl Chapman
