Aaron Stiner  Suddenly I am bog fan of Steve Nash's. Not for what he does on the court, but for what I am reading about his philanthropy. Check out the recent post about professional athletes' obligations to give back that I shared on ASU Lodestar Center for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Innovation's Facebook Page. Cool stuff.

ASU Lodestar Center for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Innovation Received this link today from Sean Stanford's "Philanthropy Daily Digest" RSS:
A fascinating, authentic debate between professional athletes like Steve Nash, Mia Hamm, and Jeff Gordon on whether they have an obligation to be philanthropic. The posts are clearly written by the athletes and are generating many comments f...rom other professional athletes. Check this one out." (From Aaron Stiner)

From Steve Nash's post, "...it... See More’s not that I think athletes are obligated to give back, I think people are obligated to give back....If I have the luxury of comfort, shouldn’t part of that comfort-time be devoted to helping someone else? Shouldn’t we, as a people, aim to equalize the dichotomies out there so that everyone — even the baby born into seemingly-abject poverty — has a closer-to-equal shot? There’s no one that’s too busy to take time every day to help out someone else — no one — and how would we change if we took that on?"

Wow, what a powerful statement! (From Aaron Stiner)

According to the conclusion in this article in Journal of Accounting and Public Policy, Charity Navigator ratings matter: "contributions are sensitive to a change in Charity Navigator ratings. Both the level of contributions and the change in contributions vary with the size and direction of changes." http://ow.ly/HBrk
