		<description><![CDATA[For the first time ever for us, we were asked to be a part of an Annual Giving track. Finally, the importance to any organization of that fundraising effort to influence continued and expanded giving is being acknowledged.

Good stewardship of those donors is certainly understood by all thinking fundraisers as being imperative. Yet just "what to do" and "how to thank" them in ways that will proactively support, link and enhance the total philanthropic effort for those annual donors gets very little press. Kudos to Planet Philanthropy organizers in understanding the need, as well as being current in their understanding of this group of givers by this focus upon trends in fundraising.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A philanthropy center has come to refer to a premier destination for the celebration of donors and the many ways that an organization has benefited from philanthropy.  While careful evaluation should be taken to determine just the right types of displays and communication, through the effort, a fundraising institution tells their story, reinforces their brand, depicts their "face" of philanthropy, communicates opportunities to give, and fosters enhanced giving by current donors and new donors alike, by imparting the importance of philanthropy as a core value of the fundraising institution.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sites linking donors to good causes exist online, yet there is still far too little in the way of tools that "engage" the donor after the gift.  Honest, timely dialog is crucial to creating a lasting two-way relationship.  If Jumo.com can include ways to facilitate donor relations online, they will be truly groundbreaking.]]></description>
