Since moving to Washington DC I have been working at Changing Our World, Inc. a philanthropy consulting company. Part of my work in the Interactive Services department has enabled me to contribute to onPhilanthropy, a content network of news, jobs, and thought leadership in the philanthropic sector.
Aside from helping to administer the site I have also participated in the Future Leaders in Philanthropy group (FLiP), helping to administer the group’s blog and the FLiP Facebook Page. I actually owe this job to my attendance at a FLiP on Tap networking event in New York when Mike Hoffman, the company CEO, singled me out in his speech for having introduced myself to him. Just goes to show that it pays to put yourself out there with a dose of confidence.
I highly recommend onPhilanthropy to anyone looking for interesting articles or blogs relevant to the philanthropic sector. Most of the content is syndicated with RSS as well if you want to subscribe. Also, feel free to check out my posts to the onLine blog there in which I get the scoop on the Digital Media and Learning Competition in an interview with Cathy Davidson and David Goldberg, and another exploring the ways twitter is being used to drive social action.
