New Nonprofit Group Encourages Executives to Donate More Than Money
March 27, 2009
The newly formed Social Venture Philanthropy of Sacramento is hoping to get business executives to donate their expertise in accounting, marketing, and other business skills to help charities run more efficiently, The Sacramento Bee reports.
The organization, founded by Jack Crawford Jr., a venture capitalist, had its first meeting last week and attracted about 50 potential donors who agreed to raise $500,000 to $1-million this year for about six education and health-care groups and to donate their business skills to help those charities.
