Corporate Volunteerism

[Chris Corrigan]

I think that was what we exploring Artur, among other things...the
shift from that form of charity to one of compassion and networked
philanthropy.  The participant list contains some ames of people who
are VERY fluent in the history of western civilization and for whom
these cultural underpinnings, both in Europe and North America, are of
extraordinary significance.  I refer to you Phil Cubeta at
http://www.gifthub.org, AKM Adam at http://akma.disseminary.org/ and
Lenore Ealy at http://www.thephilanthropicenterprise.org/main/about_tpe.php

Cheers,

Chris
