Immigrant Integration Toolkit/Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees
Daranee Petsod, to the astonished puzzlement of the author, has given him the privilege of contributing to quite a few publications of the foundation affinity group Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees (did the author mention that she is bright as a whip and a great gal?). 2006
Civic Participation and the Promise of Democracy/Center for Religion and Civic Culture
This piece was made possible by Don Miller, the founding Executive Director of the Center for Religion and Civic Culture at the University of Southern California, who is yet one more committed community leader the author is privileged to call a friend. 2004
Grantcraft/Ford Foundation
When the author was so ignominiously laid off from The James Irvine Foundation, Jan Jaffe of The Ford Foundation was one of many colleagues in philanthropy who helped him continue to put bread on the table; the Grantcraft series that Jan invented and managed took lots of the trial and error out of the practice of grantmaking. 2004 – 2007
