Father's Day Is 100. but What It Should Mean Never Gets Old Father’s Day is 100. But what it should mean never gets old. On this centennial of Father’s Day, men everywhere are taking a stand to end violence against women and children around the world. In 2003, we started Founding Fathers to show our commitment to teaching respect and creating futures without violence. Join us and let’s make this day the beginning of a safer world. Today we honor these “founding fathers” who intend for this crucial beginning to give way to a new kind of society – where decency and respect require no special day on the calendar, where boys are taught that violence does not equal strength and where men stand with courage, lead with conviction and speak with one voice to say, “No more.” Visionaries n Bruce Bodaken, Chairman, President & CEO, Blue Shield of California n Terry J.

  • 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.

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).

  • 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’.

  • DECOLONIZING WEALTH Toolkit
    Edgar Villanueva DECOLONIZING WEALTH Toolkit Indigenous wisdom to heal divides and restore balance Decolonizing Wealth Toolkit 2 3 Introduction 4 7 Steps Infographic 5 Book Club Questions 6 Personal Reflections - Journaling Exercise 7 Excerpt: Chapter One https://www.bkconnection.com/books/title/Decolonizing-Wealth 14 Decolonizing Wealth Glossary (see book) Decolonizing Wealth Toolkit 3 INTRODUCTION My people are Lumbee Indians, a tribe from North Carolina – and as Native people, we have been exposed to colonization for a long time. As one of the few Native Americans in the small, elite bubble of philanthropy, my unique perspective has made me understand how the wounds of colonialism affects all of our relationship to money––but it has also given me the tools to begin to decolonize this relationship in order to imagine a world where we all have enough to thrive.. Now, I offer these tools for those who (a) control the flow of money––whether it’s your own, that of your business, or your charitable contributions––and (b) those who want to create a shift in conversation around wealth and philanthropy. Or maybe you’re on a personal healing journey – this work is for all of us. This toolkit accompanies my book, Decolonizing Wealth: Indigenous Wisdom To Heal Divides And Restore Balance. As you read through both, I invite you to dig deep, and think about how you can be part of healing the wounds of colonialism and white supremacy that are at the heart of our country’s relationship to money. Decolonizing Wealth introduces Seven Steps to Healing, which include (1) grieve, (2) apologize, (3) listen, (4) relate, (5) represent, (6) invest, and (7) repair.

  • The Buffetts Find “The Sound” What Would You Do with One Billion Dollars? Jennifer and Peter Buffett Were Faced with This Extraordinary Challenge and Opportunity
    The Buffetts Find “The Sound” What would you do with one billion dollars? Jennifer and Peter Buffett were faced with this extraordinary challenge and opportunity www.GiveSmart.org Peter Buffett was just 19 years old when he received his inheritance: $90,000 to use as he pleased. There were no strings attached, no expectations—but also no more money. The youngest son of investor Warren Buffett understood that this was the extent of his inheritance. The question was, what to do with the funds? A car? An oceanfront condo? “I’d had the advantage of seeing my older siblings burn through most of their cash rather quickly,” Peter said, looking back thirty years later. “I didn’t want to follow that path.” It happened that the money arrived at a time when Peter was ready to commit to a career in music. But he still had much to learn, both technically and aesthetically—not only about making music, but also about making music personal—making it his own. Peter remembers talking about this with his father, who counted among his favorite movies The Glenn Miller Story. “One of his favorite aspects of it was the great bandleader’s obsession with finding ‘the sound,’” Peter wrote in his 2010 book, Life is What You Make of It. “This was the mysterious something that would make a Glenn Miller song or a Glenn Miller arrangement distinctive and immediately recognizable.” Arriving at “the sound” was a big job; ultimately, Peter used his money to buy himself time to find it. “I played the piano, wrote tunes, experimented with electronic sounds and overdubbing,” he recalled.
