  • July 29, 2004
    NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 29, 2004 Omaha, NE (BRK.A; BRK.B) — Susan T. Buffett, wife of Warren E. Buffett and President of the Buffett Foundation, died early this morning in Cody, Wyoming after suffering a stroke at the ranch of investor Herbert Allen where she and Mr. Buffett were making an annual visit. She was 72. In commenting, Allen Greenberg, Executive Director of the Buffett Foundation, said, “She will be remembered by all who knew her as a quiet humanitarian whose voice spoke for disadvantaged women around the world. She was deeply touched by the hardships faced by the world’s poorest, especially women. She was far-sighted in establishing programs in countries whose needs were generally overlooked. She did this work quietly and never cared about receiving credit or acknowledgement.” For over 40 years Mrs. Buffett fulfilled her commitment to social justice through personal activities and as President of the Buffett Foundation. She began this work in Omaha in the 1960’s working with a variety of civil rights and educational organizations. This work expanded to include support for organizations working in the field of family planning and reproductive health, both in the U.S. as well as internationally. In recent years she traveled to many countries, including Viet Nam, Turkey, India, Ghana, South Africa, and Mexico, to see first hand the struggles women face. “She was as comfortable in a small village in India as she was in a friend’s home in the U.S.,” Mr. Greenberg continued. “Susie loved talking with a broad range of people about their lives.

    2020 Berkshire Hathaway Book List These books were approved by Mr. Buffett for sale at the 2020 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting. To order go to bookwormomaha.com or call The Bookworm at 402.392.2877 >NEW BOOKS FOR 2020< Margin of Trust: The Berkshire Business Model by Larry Cunningham and Stephanie Cuba ($24.95, Columbia Business School, 2020). Cunningham and Cuba develop a new account of how Berkshire Hathaway works, showing that the key to its success is trust. Profiling partnership practices and business methods, they contend that Berkshire's distinguishing feature is a culture in which autonomy and decentralization are core management principles. They provide instructive examples of how this model has been successfully adapted by other companies that share a faith in trust as an organizing principle. They also offer candid commentary on the risks of a trust-based approach and how to mitigate them. Margin of Trust features illuminating analysis of Buffett's take on the role trust plays in business agreements, what Buffett looks for in great corporate boards, and what lies ahead for Berkshire after its iconic leader leaves the scene. My New Berkshire ABC by Nancy Rips, illustrated by Matt Haney ($19.95. 2020). Kids will learn the alphabet the Warren Buffett way: A is for Apple, B is for Benjamin Moore, C is for Coca Cola, D is for Duracell.

  • From the Ground Up, Dasra
    From the ground up Grantmaking to those grounded in the South As traditional funders to international development shift their strategies to support more local civil society organisations, aspiring funders who seek to fund development are also asking how best they can leverage their resources for civil society in the Global South. A ground-up approach to philanthropy This briefing offers advice to those funders who aim to channel philanthropic capital to the South but are not sure how to begin, where to invest and how to ensure their investment is effective. It draws on the experience of existing, impactful funders and advocates for a ground-up approach to philanthropy, one that focuses on identifying the most strategic use for their philanthropic capital. Towards this end, it advises foreign funders to: • Understand the local setting: Context is everything • Partner with local funders: You don’t have to do it alone • Invest in local organisations: Strengthen local organisations for sustainable impact The brief offers a few actionable steps that international funders may find useful when planning their philanthropic investment, with the hope that more funders will consider their potential to support development in the South. In the final part of this brief, these are summarised in some ‘On-the-Ground Rules’.
