I still think storytelling works.

Posted on September 26, 2011 by givingcityaustin

I just returned from the Communications Network conference in Boston, which is for foundation communications professionals. (I’m one. Kind of wonkish, yeah.)

There’s a lot [...]

Posted on June 23, 2011 by givingcityaustin

I have loved magazines in a slightly obsessive way since as long as I can remember. In college, I knew exactly what I wanted to do: Work on a magazine in New York City. I had no money, no contacts, no prospects when I moved to New York City, but I got to work on [...]

What’s on your channel?

Posted on May 27, 2011 by givingcityaustin

Sometimes, I feel the need to comment on the power of social media, which is not as off-topic as you think. I think most of you know that without social media, there would be no GivingCity. I credit the platforms of Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn (and all the time I spend on them) for the [...]

Inspired by Austin

Posted on April 6, 2011 by givingcityaustin

You know why we do GivingCity, right? Basically, we run on pure inspiration. Marissa Vogel founded Little Helping Hands because she couldn’t find volunteer opportunities for her and her kids. Linda Brucker started A Legacy of Giving because her son was benefiting from learning about philanthropy and she thought all kids could benefit from it, [...]
