So, it should come as no surprise that new ways of contributing to charitable causes are also gaining in popularity. We talked about mobile giving and social media in a previous issue ( Charity and Social Media: Finding What Fits. Wise Giving Guide: Holiday 2011). The cover story of this issue is about crowdfunding. Some of you may be more familiar with the business use of this term—a website the enables you to help individuals raise capital for start-up small businesses. As you will read in this issue, crowdfunding can also be a means to give to charity. One aspect of crowdfunding that brings both advantages and challenges is the relative ease with which one can create a fund raising campaign. During an emergency, this provides a way to give immediate financial assistance. On the other hand, speed and ease also can limit the ability of such websites to adequately vet fund raising appeals. BBB Wise Giving Alliance believes that each type of fund raising can open up opportunities for those who seek to take advantage of American generosity. We hope the article’s advice about how best to use crowdfunding will help you avoid potential problems and enable you to make more informed judgments about this giving alternative. H.

Samuel Otu-Appiah - Member MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Dr. Paul Opoku Mensah n a visit to the Wartburg Castle in Germany on May 6, 2013, I was confronted with the conditions under Owhich Martin Luther translated the German Bible. While our guide discussed the details of Luther's work — stressing a supposed encounter with the devil in the room where he did his translation — I was lost in thought about the role the castle played in providing a safe place for Luther to work.
