One of the most formative resources for me when I first started out in philanthropy was Sean Stannard-Stockton’s Tactical Philanthopy blog. Sean has since moved on to other things, but he is gracious enough to keep those old posts available to us. I cannot imagine a better introduction to “strategic” philanthopy, its promises and perils. While I have never had the good fortune to meet the man, my sense is that he’s someone with whom I could hang.
