Welcome to the Philanthropy Network Blog!

To celebrate the 8,000th member of The Philanthropy Network on LinkedIn, it seemed only appropriate to create an open forum for long-form opinions and analysis about the future of Philanthropy, trends in the non-profit sector, and ground shaking ideas designed to transform the way societal services are delivered.

The foundational belief of the Philanthropy Network blog (and this blogger) is that altruism is an underrated and under-publicized virtue, and that today's non-profit leaders have the potential to be transformative forces for good in the world.

So, welcome to the Philanthropy Network Blog, I hope this becomes a valuable content destination for you, as well as a forum within which you can share your best ideas about the future of our industry.

Sincerely yours,
Brad Smith
Founder, Philanthropy Network
