The People Have Spoken

Thank you for doing as I requested by voting on Tuesday. I know you never would have done it had I not asked you. There was no other reason to do it, obviously.

Leslie Lenkowsky of Indiana University has a nice piece over on the Chronicle of Philanthropy's site about what these elections will mean for the non-profit world. While I don't agree with much of it (I'm not sure the Council on Foundations is going to be suddenly marginalized because it's run by a former Republican congressman, nor do I think Rick Santorum's defeat will mean the death knell for the Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives), it's a thoughtful and far-reaching piece and shows that even in our protected and insular non-profit community, elections have consequences.

What will 2006 mean for our charities? And more importantly (to me), what will it mean for donors? Leslie has some ideas, but I think I'll wait and see.
