News onPhilanthropy: Thinkin' About Tomorrow: "Thinkin' About Tomorrow

It's dangerous to get into the predictions business, but here at the Clinton Global Initiative I can't help thinking about future university courses in philanthropy, and what they'll be teaching about the way it all changed in the first decade of the 21st century. For all the hype about the new millennium, the dawning of 2000 has faded in memory with little more than a sigh of relief that Y2K wasn't a worldwide disaster. In reality, though, we've witnessed major transformations in what we think of as philanthropy as this decade has unfolded. And when they get into the business of writing textbooks on the topic, I would imagine the Clinton Global Initiative will require several chapters, if not volumes."
