The Foundation Center is promoting a scholarship program for some of their full-day training programs. While this may be great news for our nonprofit friends in more urban areas, a quick look at the application/class list shows that none of the classes are being offered in cities near us (Pittsburgh or Cleveland). However, I thought I should still give you a heads up. If you’re interested, here is the press release announcing the scholarship program and requirements.

The Foundation Center has a new page on their website called “Focus on the Economic Crisis.” Here is what the New York Foundation Center director, Charlotte Dion, has to say about it:
“We know that many of you are very concerned about the impact of the current recession on giving. To help you track what’s going on, and to give you some historical perspective, the Foundation Center has created a new web feature that brings together headlines from Philanthropy News Digest, Foundation Center research, interviews with leaders in the field, podcasts, and other resources on the topic.”
Useful, or just depressing? Let me know what you think in the comments.
