Blogging About Philanthropy, Nonprofits, Communications, and Racial and Social Justice!

Wel­come to my blog!

As a com­ple­ment to my con­sult­ing work, I’ll be blog­ging about top­ics related to com­mu­ni­ca­tions, phil­an­thropy, non­prof­its, and racial and social jus­tice issues. I’ll also take on some top­ics related to fundrais­ing and devel­op­ment and, occa­sion­ally, other issue areas out­side of racial and social jus­tice, such as the arts or education.

You’ll find cat­e­gories named for each these top­ics under the cat­e­gories list­ing on the blog page or by check­ing out the sub­menus beneath “Paul’s Blog” in the nav­i­ga­tion menu. Each entry will have at least one topic category.

Each entry will also con­sist of one of the fol­low­ing writ­ing types: how-​​to arti­cles, knowledge-​​based/​informational arti­cles, inter­views, com­men­tary, or stories/​reporting (which will quite often dove­tail with sto­ries I’ve researched through my con­sult­ing projects or through my ongo­ing assign­ment as the man­ag­ing edi­tor of the Mar­gin­al­ized Males Fun­ders Group (MMFG) e-​​newsletter.

So, each entry will have at least two cat­e­gories: a topic cat­e­gory (pos­si­bly more than one) and a type category.

My hope is that this will gen­er­ate some use­ful infor­ma­tion for read­ers and allow for some inter­ac­tive dis­cus­sion about top­ics in the inde­pen­dent sec­tor to which I’ve devoted the last 10 years of my career. It also should give you some insight into me, my skills, my work, and what I might be able to do for you—whether you’re a poten­tial client, colleague, or just an inter­ested party.

I invite your com­ments, ques­tions, and opin­ions (both vague or heartfelt).

Thank you.
