Nonprofit Tweets of the Week – February 3, 2012

Published on: by Gene Takagi Category:NONPROFIT RESOURCES OF THE WEEK

Lots of nonprofit-related events and news this week, none stirring as much controversy as the Susan G. Komen Foundation decision to stop funding Planned Parenthood for breast cancer examinations and other breast health services.  Here are some of my favorite posts of the week in the areas of nonprofit organizations, corporate governance, philanthropy, and social enterprises:

  • Kivi Leroux Miller: The Accidental Rebranding of Komen for the Cure - http://ow.ly/1h4ImG
  • Gene: Lesson – develop & live by organizational values – not directors' personal values. Duty of loyalty.  [Agree with Pete Manzo]
  • Lisa Chiu: IRS fines nonprofit Food for the Hungry re overvaluations of medicine: http://philanthropy.com/article/IRS-Levies-Fine

  • Patrick Sternal: IRS will eventually catch most online UBI – TheNonProfitTimes - http://shar.es/fp2Ir | Good basic guidelines (even if "eventually" = x→ ∞)

And one last item:  I was quoted in today's New York Times regarding a contemplated merger between two nonprofit news groups.  Nonprofit journalism and nonprofit mergers are fascinating areas of the law (at least for me).
