Daniel Sieberg Profile
As the senior marketing manager and head of media outreach efforts at Google, he helps journalists and organizations around the world reach their target audiences via the latest technologies.
Equipped with 20 years of experience reporting on science and technology for CNN, CBS, ABC, and other mainstream media outlets, he possesses numerous connections to the digital sector.
Author of the The Digital Diet: the four-step plan to break your tech addiction and regain balance in your life, he shows audience how to control technology rather than let technology control them.
Award-winning TV correspondent and official Google spokesperson, Daniel Sieberg has covered technology for 20 years, reporting for CBS, ABC, BBC News, NPR, and PBS, among other media outlets. As Google's senior marketing manager and head of the Google News Lab, he counsels journalists around the globe as they use Google tools to gather information and reach wider audiences.
Originally from Canada, Sieberg started his U.S. journalism career with a five year stint as CNN's technology correspondent. He became the face and voice of technology for CBS in 2006, reporting for the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric, The Early Show, CBS Sunday Morning, CBS Radio and CBSNews.com. However, the high-tech expert and social media fanatic started to worry just how connected he really was when he realized he knew very little about what was happening with his own family. Daniel embarked on the process of limiting and better managing his use of digital technology, a process that resulted in his book The Digital Diet: the four-step plan to break your tech addiction and regain balance in your life.
Daniel has since spoken about his book and related subject matter at multiple places including UBC, BCIT, Yale, and the London School of Economics. Consistently at the forefront of new apps and devices, he draws from his extensive career in media to teach audiences from various sectors how to optimize technology to make their lives better, rather than letting technology control their lives.

His book about a "digital diet" concept explores myriad avenues of how technology is transforming our lives from relationships to business to identity. From swimming with sharks to a live demonstration of the latest gadgets to reporting in zero gravity, Sieberg has always been comfortable within a wide range of situations and beats from business to science to entertainment; telling compelling stories and resonating with an audience are what drive his many pursuits, and having a sense of humor doesn't hurt either.
Sieberg was the CBS News science and technology correspondent from December 2006 to February 2010 reporting for the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric, The Early Show, CBS Sunday Morning, CBS Radio and CBSNews.com. During that time Sieberg also contributed to a book about the so-called "Craigslist killer" called Seven Days of Rage (Pocket Books).

Plus Sieberg anchored daily segments for Morning Express with Robin Meade from 2001-2004, produced weekly reports for CNN Radio and spent several weeks covering the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.
In 2008 he co-hosted 40 episodes of an environmental lifestyle show called G Word on Discovery Channel's Planet Green network and he has contributed as an analyst to PBS' Frontline, NPR, BBC Radio, Fuse.tv, CourtTV (now truTV) and Animal Planet.
Between 1998-2000 Sieberg was a daily reporter for western Canada's largest newspaper, the Vancouver Sun, covering technology, business and civic issues. At CTV News in Canada, he worked as a video game reviewer and associate producer for a news panel show called Robert Mason Lee: On the Edge from 1998-2000.
Sieberg has been nominated for four News and Documentary Emmy Awards and won accolades from the likes of the Society of Environmental Journalism and the World Technology Awards.

His written work has been published by the Huffington Post, Oprah.com, Salon.com,Time magazine, Details magazine, the Vancouver Sun, the Toronto Star, and many other places both online and in print.

Daniel Sieberg Speaking Videos
Daniel Sieberg, Technology Speaker: Keynote
Daniel Sieberg examines how technology – specifically smart phones – has changed our lives in a short time and how we can strike a balance between using the digital world to improve our lives and maintaining meaningful relationships with our family and friends who are physically around us.
Sieberg cites a recent study that asked college students to not use their phone for 24 hours. At the end of the experiment 20% of the participants reported feelings of distress and 11% claimed to feel isolated. "Sometimes through constant partial attention, we are losing that kind of human interaction," he comments, as he addresses how people can better manage the attention they dedicate to their smart phone and free themselves to be 100% present for the many priceless experiences the real world has to offer.

Daniel Sieberg's Speech Descriptions
Daniel Sieberg speaks on optimizing the latest technologies, navigating digital disruption, and finding a balance between the virtual world and real life. The head of Google's Media Lab gives audiences unique insights on leveraging today's newest digital tools so they'll have more time to disconnect from their phone and reconnect with the people around them.
Daniel's 20 years of science and technology reporting have equipped him with expertise crossing several sectors: he offers programs tailored to businesses, the health sector, tourism industry, and media industry as well as general audiences.
Tech Life 2020
Subject area: future of technology
A frequent first rule of predicting tech trends: never trust an expert who proclaims to know the future. But in this case, Daniel Sieberg, who spent 20 years reporting on tech for the likes of CNN, ABC, CBS and the BBC before joining Google four years ago, bases his insights on past as prologue for what's next and how our immersion in connectedness is affecting our very humanity.
Sieberg, who also wrote The Digital Diet, lays out what got us here with devices and smartphone, what's happening today with social/online/wearable, and stitches together a potential glimpse at where we're headed. It's not about a crystal ball, it's about informed and inspired analysis to assess what's next from mobility to identity to VR.
Next-gen healthcare trends
Subject area: healthcare future, medical
From pedometers to smartphone apps to glucose-sensing contact lenses, what's next for people to personally monitor their own well-being? How can we give people access to their own medical data and make informed decisions? When is knowing too much not helpful?
Daniel Sieberg, who spent 20 years reporting on technology for the likes of CNN, ABC, CBS and the BBC and authored The Digital Diet before joining Google four years ago, looks at the technologies available on the market today, how consumers are embracing them and looks ahead to what might be possible. This is a chance to dive into the self-monitoring aspect of healthcare for a thought-provoking presentation on a topic that offers a potentially dramatic shift in medicine.
How is your brand really being perceived?
Subject area: brand marketing, small business
How do you connect with consumers in a way that's authentic amidst a flood of information online? What can any company do to highlight the "why" of their business? Daniel Sieberg, former technology reporter for CBS, CNN and ABC and current exec at Google, examines what it means to really engage with people around a product or idea and how to win hearts/minds in a meaningful way. It's about more than just a plan, it's about turning customers into fans through the right amount of transparency and access to the very DNA of your company. This talk will feature an actionable plan to get started with new implementations in any business.
Today's "smart" traveler
Subject area: tourism, travel
Tourists today have more options than ever to explore unseen and niche places within any location. From mobile maps to restaurant recommendations to virtual tours. Plus we've all got a camera in our pocket at all times. But what's the best way to tap into these technologies without losing a real-world experience? Daniel Sieberg, former technology reporter for CBS, CNN and ABC, author of The Digital Diet and current exec at Google, has been to 50+ countries and 600 cities and offers his take on the right way to be a digital explorer without missing everything around you.
Subject area: digital news revolution, media
The ways in which we consume (and produce) news has evolved rapidly in recent years from mobile to social to UGC. It presents both challenges and opportunities for traditional media, and there are more changes coming including VR, expanded data journalism and increasing eyewitness videos. In addition, media startups are seeks to disrupt the establishment with a slew of new ways for people to get the information they care about. What does it mean to our pursuit of quality information? Daniel Sieberg, former technology reporter for CBS, CNN and ABC, author of The Digital Diet and global head of media outreach with the Google News Lab, outlines the pace of progress within the news space and looks ahead to where it's going.
Tell better stories
Subject area: new ways of storytelling, marketing
Telling a great story will always be the essential component within marketing. But these days the rules and the tools have changed dramatically and apply to so many facets of any business from sales to PR to industry relations. A mini documentary in YouTube 360 featured your product in unusual ways? Data visualizations or an infographic to complement any product launch? Immersing people in VR to engage with an event? Daniel Sieberg, former technology reporter for CBS, CNN and ABC, author of The Digital Diet and current exec at Google, looks at how every company should fold in cutting-edge storytelling to their arsenal.
Do you need a Digital Diet?
Subject area: consumer behavior, psychology, health and well being
On average, we check our smartphones more than 125 times per day. Per DAY. And what are we doing with that time? Playing Candy Crush? Checking for emails that aren't there? Sharing selfies? How is the world adapting to such a heavy influx of data and personal technology and what's it doing to our relationships, our work/life balance and our sense of self?
This is relevant for a wide range of audiences from families to businesses to individuals all trying to adapt to our connected age. There's a lot at stake from productivity to our identity to the next ways we'll be communicating with each other. Daniel Sieberg, former technology reporter for CBS, CNN and ABC, author of The Digital Diet and current exec at Google, offers ways to better understand the dilemma of today's connected consumers and a plan for coping with it all.
Why follow the leader?
Subject area: leadership, business
Why do the best leaders succeed? What is it about them? And is it possible to emulate their behavior? There's a potential leader in all of us, but it often requires a deep examination of everything from our core values to our ability to relate to others to our ability to emotionally invest in our people. The impact can be felt from the boardroom to the mailroom and even the living room of your clients/customers.
There's no silver bullet, but Daniel Sieberg, author of The Digital Diet and current exec at Google, outlines a leadership path for anyone looking to better their skills and lead with heart. Sieberg has interviewed some of the biggest leaders in technology while he was a tech reporter for CBS, CNN and ABC, completed elite-level training courses and leads a growing international team within Google. It's also about lessons learned from 25 years within the media-tech industry, the psychology of how people respond to direction/guidance and even what coaching youth soccer can tell us about leading the next successful team.
Understanding Blockchain and Cryptocurrency - How it can Benefit Anyone: Blockchain/Crypto/Bitcoin
Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, cryptocurrency, blockchain - these terms are increasingly becoming a part of our global conversation about how we improve communications, security, and business models across a wide range of verticals. It's important for any leader or business owner or just a curious third-party to begin to understand the implications and get ahead of this seemingly unstoppable new technology. Daniel Sieberg, former Google spokesperson and marketing executive and now co-founder of Civil (journalism supported by blockchain), is ready to break it all down in ways people can understand and act upon.

The Digital Diet: the four-step plan to break your tech addiction and regain balance in your life
We all know someone who needs a digital diet.
Technology has overwhelmed our daily lives to the point of constant distraction. Many of us can no longer focus on a single task or face-to-face conversation without wanting to reach out—or retreat—to the virtual world every few minutes.
Science and technology reporter and recovering digital addict Daniel Sieberg has devised a foolproof 4-step plan to help you regain control, focus, and true connection in your life.
Step 1//Re: Think:
Consider how technology has overwhelmed our society and the effect it's had on your physical, mental, and emotional health.
Step 2//Re: Boot:
Take stock of your digital intake using Sieberg's Virtual Weight Index and step back from the device.
Step 3//Re: Connect:
Focus on restoring the relationships that have been harmed by the technology in your life.
Step 4//Re: Vitalize:
Learn how to live with technology—the healthy way, by
optimizing your time spent e-mailing, texting, on Facebook, and web surfing.
This program will enable families to communicate better, employees to be more productive, and friends to stay in touch. Sieberg teaches us how to manage and use the technology in our lives to our advantage, without letting it control us.

Pubblicò  The English Physician (1652) e Complete Herbal (1653) che contengono una vasta conoscenza di erboristeria e farmaceutica, e Astrological Judgement of Diseases from the Decumbiture of the Sick (1655), uno dei più dettagliati documenti dell'astrologia medica nell'Europa del tempo. Culpeper trascorse la maggior parte della sua vita in Inghilterra all'aria aperta catalogando centinaia di erbe medicinali. Criticò quelli che considerava metodi innaturali dei suoi contemporanei, scrivendo: "Anche se non è piacevole, e meno vantaggioso per me, mi sono consultato con i miei due fratelli, dr. ragione e dr. esperienza, e ho intrapreso un viaggio per visitare mia madre natura, dal cui consiglio, con l'aiuto del dr. diligenza, ho finalmente ottenuto il mio desiderio, ed, essendo avvertito dalla signora onestà, un'estranea ai nostri giorni, ho pubblicato ciò al mondo".

Biografia
Culpeper era figlio Nicholas (Senior), un ecclesiastico. Studiò all'Università di Cambridge, e successivamente divenne apprendista in una farmacia. Dopo sette anni il suo padrone sparì con il denaro pagato per il contratto e subito dopo sua madre morì di cancro al seno. Culpeper sposò la figlia di un ricco commerciante, cosa che gli consentì di aprire una farmacia nella casa a metà strada fra Spitalfields e Londra, fuori dall'autorità della City di Londra, in un momento in cui le strutture mediche a Londra erano al punto di rottura. Sostenendo che "nessun uomo meritava di morire di fame per pagare un medico insolente", e doveva rifornirsi di erbe dalla vicina campagna, Culpeper era in grado di fornire i suoi servizi gratuitamente. Questo, e la volontà di esaminare i pazienti in prima persona piuttosto che semplicemente esaminare la loro urina (a suo parere, "tanta quanta ne poteva contenere il Tamigi" non aiutava nella diagnosi), Culpeper era estremamente attivo, tanto che a volte visitava anche quaranta persone in una mattina. Usando una combinazione di esperienza e di astrologia, si dedicò a utilizzare le erbe per curare le malattie dei suoi pazienti.

Durante i primi mesi della Guerra civile inglese fu accusato di stregoneria e la Società degli speziali cercò di tenere a freno la sua pratica. Disgustato si unì a un gruppo, nell'agosto del 1643, e combatté alla prima battaglia di Newbury, dove svolse il compito di chirurgo di guerra. Culpeper tornò di nuovo a Londra dopo aver subito un grave infortunio al torace da cui non si riprese mai. Lì, in collaborazione con l'astrologo repubblicano William Lilly, scrisse l'opera A Prophesy of the White King, che predisse la morte del re.

Morì di tubercolosi a Londra il 10 gennaio 1654 all'età di trentasette anni. Solo una dei suoi otto figli, Mary, sopravvisse all'infanzia.

RTE's Sunday Game Celebrates 40 Years On The Air This Week
Sport GBFM
A television programme that has become iconic and part of irish life was broadcast for the very first time on July the 8th 1979. Since it's beginning, the Sunday Game has brought the best of Gaelic Games to our screens on Sunday night's during the summer and to this day is still one of the most watched sports programmes in the country.
The presenter of the Sunday Game on that historic Sunday was Jim Carney and he spoke to John Mulligan who first played the opening credits from that very first programme. (Credit: RTE ARCHIVE)
John then spoke to Jim about his time on the Sunday Game and also of the effect the programme has had on the sporting and social life of Ireland since 1979.

Five Key Questions Facing The Ravens For The Season's Second Half - Bo Smolka
Can the Ravens win an aerial shootout if need be?
They have built their team to win on the ground, to get the lead, hold the lead, and chew up the clock. That was their formula in the 14-2 season of 2019, and that seems to be their preferred formula in 2022.
What happens, though, when they have to win through the air? Can they do it? It's a fair question with no sure answer.
Lamar Jackson has continued to dazzle as a dual-threat quarterback and leads the league with 7.4 yards per carry, but he has thrown for fewer than 150 yards in three of the past six games. He ranks 25th in completion percentage at .623, his lowest since his rookie year. More than once, he has missed an open receiver that could have resulted in a huge play, and he has had ill-timed turnovers in Ravens losses. And now top wide receiver Rashod Bateman is out for the season with a foot injury that requires surgery.
Devin Duvernay will presumably be the top target not named tight end Mark Andrews, but his total of 25 catches ranks tied for 79th in the league. The Ravens did not to draft a wide receiver, or sign a high-profile one in free agency, or trade for one at the deadline once the extent of Bateman's injury was known. Those decisions invite scrutiny.

The passing game will need to be better for the Ravens to get where they want to go in January, but it did perfectly fine without Mark Andrews. Lamar Jackson's completion percentage has been well below expectation in three of the last four games, reflecting opportunities being there.
Jackson has been smart with the football the last couple weeks when it would have been easy for him to try to do too much. The touchdown pass to Isaiah Likely was a work of art with Greg Roman deserving credit for the design. Jackson sold the run very well.
Baltimore can't feel great about its cornerback depth behind Marlon Humphrey and Marcus Peters, but the emergence of Kyle Hamilton eases some of that concern for now. The Ravens are using him more and more as a big nickel, and the first-round safety is getting the job done.
Ravens rookie report: Top picks lead productive group, and more help could be on the way - Jonas Shaffer
Safety Kyle Hamilton
The No. 14 overall pick has graded out as Pro Football Focus' No. 2 rookie safety and No. 6 overall safety this season. Because of the Ravens' depth there, however, 73 players at the position have played more defensive snaps. Marcus Williams and Chuck Clark started the season as every-down players. Since replacing the injured Williams, Geno Stone has been one of PFF's top safeties.
That's left Hamilton looking for ways onto the field. Special teams snaps have come easily; only inside linebacker Kristian Welch has played more this season. On defense, though, the Notre Dame product's diverse skill set — Ravens coaches didn't expect him to be such an effective blitzer — has made him the defense's most flexible piece, if not its most used.
Hamilton's seen nearly equal playing time as a box safety (67 snaps), slot defender (78) and deep safety (86). He's also lined up along the line of scrimmage, generating two quarterback pressures (one sack, one hit) in 13 pass-rush snaps. Hamilton has 25 tackles (one for loss) this season, and in coverage, he's allowing a passer rating of just 73.7 when targeted, bouncing back from a forgettable early-season stretch.

It may take a while, but general manager Eric DeCosta will extend Roquan Smith: The Ravens want to keep Smith around long term. They already saw how he elevated the rest of the defense in his debut. The hope will be that the Ravens win big and Smith, who has never been part of a playoff victory in his career, develops a strong rapport with teammates and coaches and falls in love with Baltimore's culture. That's what happened when the Ravens acquired cornerback Marcus Peters before the 2019 trade deadline and extended the pending free agent a couple of months later.

Baltimore Ravens AT Cincinnati Bengals
The Ravens appear to have put their second-half meltdowns behind them, tearing off three straight wins to take a one-game lead over the Bengals in the AFC North. Not great news for Cincinnati, which is looking to repeat as division champs for the first time since the 1981-82 seasons. What's worse for the Bengals? They're the only team left on Baltimore's remaining eight-game slate that currently has a winning record.
While the Ravens have been far from perfect during their recent run, they have posted the sixth-best point margin in the second halves of games in the league (+15) after recording the seventh-worst (-25) in such situations over their first six games.
The Bengals are dealing with their own injuries on that side of the ball, most notably to Ja'Marr Chase, who's been sidelined since Week 8 after hurting his hip two weeks earlier. Still, Joe Burrow, Joe Mixon and Tee Higgins can provide plenty of star power in their own right. They followed up Week 8's dud against Cleveland with a 40-burger against Carolina, the Bengals' third 30-plus-point effort in their previous four games. Meanwhile, the Ravens haven't eclipsed 30 since Week 3.
The Bengals' 0-3 record in the division, including a Week 5 loss at Baltimore, and their remaining strength of schedule (ninth-toughest) mean a push for the division crown will be an uphill battle. But if the Ravens revert to their early-season ways, failing to play up to their potential, Cincinnati could have enough leeway to make this season finale must-watch TV. If we learned anything from the reigning AFC champs last season, it's that we should not count them out.

Is Park and Rec About to Remove 2 North OB Park Picnic Tables Due to Complaints From OB's Gentry?
by Frank Gormlie on July 3, 2014 · 24 comments
in Environment, Ocean Beach, San Diego
UPDATE: It has been confirmed to the OB Rag by a Park and Rec manager that these two picnic tables will be moved. Dan Danerio said that these two tables have not always been where they are now, that his department had a couple extra ones and decided to place them in the grassy area as an experiment. It didn't work out due to complaints from local homeowners, including some of the new owners of the large mansions close to the tables.
Danerio told us that his department would be pleased to work with the community in order to find a different location for them. He is willing to accept and hear feedback about those locations; his number is (619) 235-5914.
The OB Rag has heard from a reliable and responsible local businessperson that that Park and Rec was about to remove two public picnic tables in the grassy area of north OB. They were informed of this by a low-ranking San Diego Park and Recreation staff person.
Why? Why would Park and Rec remove two picnic tables?
The word on the street is because Park and Rec has received "complaints" about homeless people hanging out and taking over the tables. We sent an OB Rag reporter over to the area to check it out – some call it "Brighton Street Park" – but it's the grassy area to the left as you come into the north OB parking lot.
The houses right next to these tables are the McMansions of OB's new Gentry – the families who have gotten away with improper variances and built their large 3 story single-family homes on West Pt Loma Boulevard – and whose backyards face the grassy area in question.
The tables and benches look almost brand new. In contrast, a third table close by has seen many storms, but that's not the one to be removed.
The reporter spoke to some local residents who live in the same area, and asked them about the homeless taking over the tables. Their response was "nah".
But it is clear that the new large houses that front the park look right down on the picnic tables. Could OB's new gentry, the victors in the war of gentrification, have made the complaint? If true, this is exactly what some have feared from the gentrification of that area of Ocean Beach. The new gentry feel the park is theirs.
We have calls into both the Park and Rec Department and the OB Rec Center, looking for answers.

To be fair, I've seen several straight up fist fights around these tables since May…. I'm not surprised homeowners don't want that around.
Meanwhile, another table has been cordoned off for the last week with a beehive living on the underside….
John July 4, 2014 at 5:04 pm
Never seen or heard anything resembling a fight there, and I'm close enough you can see my residence in one of the pictures. While there are homeless people in the park they are rarely any kind of trouble, and the tables in question usually have one person sitting with a book and a cup of coffee or a family having a picnic on the weekend.
What's really wrong with this is parks are for the use of the people, as such for the people to use them they require certain utilitarian amenities such as drinking fountains, bathrooms, picnic tables. A place to sit and relax, these things should not be considered optional or an additional privilege to be taken away. If a group of people, homeless or otherwise, "take over" a table or fight near one, that's cause to call police and utilize existing laws. The next time you see a fistfight you should call police, this way these events can be documented as real issues and not merely anecdotal hearsay some might use as innuendo to portray a situation other than it really may be. (I'm not saying you aren't being truthful but saying others will say "I heard there were a lot of fistfights" and the rumor spreads its wings)
It sounds like some people have a problem with people they don't like the looks of, merely existing in public spaces near them. That's not a crime and if parks and rec is conducting business by listening to a minority frivolously complaining about lawful activities by other citizens in their presence, parks and rec aren't serving the populace as they should.
Aging Hippie July 3, 2014 at 12:02 pm
It's appropriate for a public park to have someplace to sit. We've used those picnic tables for that purpose, and we're not homeless.
Jane Donley July 3, 2014 at 2:34 pm
I walk through Ocean Beach Park every morning picking up litter and dog piles, and sometimes sit at the tables. They are well used by surfers, visitors and families especially on weekends. We need another table as well, and covered trash cans next to the tables (not grouped on concrete for the convenience of the trash trucks). This park is great for picnickers and families too. Do not remove any tables. Add more. And remove the bee hive before the 4th!

They are out of character 3 story homes. They aren't even that big and they certainly aren't cookie cutter. Cookie cutter is certain Carmel Valley and areas of Penaquitos etc
Aging Hippie July 4, 2014 at 9:48 am
Premade plans from some collection. That's why they don't fit the character of the neighborhood. But I bet if you tracked down Stebbins' other work you'd find a dozen more of each one, all just as out of character.
john July 4, 2014 at 12:01 pm
so once they remove the picnic tables, then its just a grass field, and how long until they decide the empty grass should be developed?
I mean, is it or is it not a park? If it is, then keep the picnic tables. did they buy homes to be next to a unique serene beach park, or to eventually get the view blocked by more shiite buildings.
wish they werent such fools about their own neighborhood. and stop trying to disconnect their lives from anything real other than real estate.
can we get an interview with the complainants to at least discuss?
It's typical of the wealthy to have a false sense of entitlement. A luxurious home and car and an extravagant lifestyle are not enough for them; they also must control those around them, to preserve their illusion of idyllic surroundings even in the midst of the suffering they themselves create. They see themselves as more worthy or deserving or important than others, thus they assert their "right" to control others.
Unfortunately, our entire country has become a plutocracy, or perhaps a plutarchy, and our own local politics reflect that larger agenda.
Jennifer July 5, 2014 at 8:16 pm
I would like the picnic tables to stay, but more importantly some of the beach parking lot should be metered, with the money used to fund solar-powered electric vehicle chargers.
Let's reward visitors who don't burn oil into our air on the way in.
A band stand and dance floor also sound like great ideas.
That idea's been done to death right on that site. Seems the Pacific Ocean didn't like the project too much. I propose a petting zoo, with perhaps 500 MONKEYS.
Oh wait they already did that too.
All kidding aside you can't meter the lots without a complete permit parking program for the whole west-of-I-5 area. (IIRC Santa Cruz and a few LA area beach communities have such a program and I wonder if they actually turn a profit) What would happen is all the tourists would crowd the adjacent streets and occupy all the residents' regular parking facilities to avoid the meters. Given your expressed sentiments about automobile owners you might find that inconvenience a side benefit, but for the majority it would be unacceptable.
(for the record I have always owned a bicycle and ride it when possible but also realize our topography and other factors require most to own a car-although I recall a USMC drill sgt who used to commute from Poway to MCRD and back daily on his bicycle. Until one morning, a drunk driver ran over and killed Superman.)
Those are good ideas, but first I think we need to make sure the rich gentry do not steal our park for their backyard because they built all over theirs.
kenloc July 7, 2014 at 7:02 am
I didn't realize you had to be below a certain income level to complain about noise.Would it be more relevant if a person struggling to make ends meet filed a complaint?
I'm sure the tables draw people closer to those homes.They should deal with loud voices and the cigarette smell in their house? How is vilifying these people accomplishing anything?Moving the tables seems like an easy fix.
On another note,I see more people come out of local bars and relieve themselves in public than homeless folks.Next time you see a pile from a person,take note.If there is toilet paper present,it was probably a homeless person.No paper? Drunk idiot from a bar.Perhaps you can get on the bar owners like you are all getting on the Churches that are feeding hungry people. Oh wait,bar owners provide a real service to the community,they deserve a pass……
So those of us who aren't homeless or drunk, can't have seating in the park because it bothers the rich folk? That doesn't sound fair, does it? Especially since it's a public park and not their backyard.
Frank Gormlie July 7, 2014 at 10:29 am
kenloc, – the point is that the rich, by their wealth, power and connections, have more say in this land than anyone else. What we're pointing out here is that 'c'mon, does this pattern have to continue even down to the lowly park picnic table?'
We as a society need to quit being uncivil to ourselves out of fear that the homeless will come. We remove benches, we make public street furniture unwelcome, we cut off showers, homeless advocates are threatened with arrest for feeding homeless. If we spent one fraction on the homeless of what we spend in trying to curtail them and their activities, we wouldn't have as many.
"the point is that the rich, by their wealth, power and connections, have more say in this land than anyone else"
Bingo. The same person who told me one of the McMansion residents was complaining also said to me "he's a lobbyist, didn't you see all the big Carl DeMaio signs hanging on his house during the last election?"
I'd never made that connection before, that you had to donate to a politician's campaign to get their campaign materials. I guess that makes them a lobbyist, or at least the kind of person who writes a check for $500 and expects so pick up the phone and call in a favor for it in return someday.
I do recall in 2004 if I wanted a little button for the Kerry/Edwards ticket I could just write for one and they'd send it for free.
Bush/Cheney? They wanted $12 for the same thing.
I'm not sure though that cop calling or general busybody complaining about others having fun has a political party
Can I finally add on another angle about the homeless and the perception they poop or pee randomly like animals…..well the policy until now is to deny them the most basic human needs. Not just needs, the effect is to deny them dignity. They used to have a sink with running water at the car wash on Voltaire years ago but removed it because it attracted the homeless. Can't even provide running water. Virtually no business has public restrooms. When you deprive people of all human dignity and try to drive them away by making just existing, relieving themselves, so inconvenient they've no choice but to move on, what would you expect but for them to develop utter contempt for society? To not care what people think of them?
To look at homeless relieving themselves wherever and whenever and using that for rationale to dismiss them as members of society as absurd. Our cold hearted policies to push the problem elsewhere made them that way, we're merely reaping what we sow.
OB Cindi July 8, 2014 at 8:31 pm
If fights occur in this area with frequency, should we add LIGHTS and more POLICE PRESENCE then take it out on those who want to sit and take a break on something as harmless as a park bench? Would the county parks and rec department please stop taking stuff away from OB, and instead, give us more street lights and public restrooms near/on Newport?
OB Jess July 11, 2014 at 11:06 am
I agree that more lights in OB would be really helpful!
Cindy July 10, 2014 at 5:42 pm
It surprises me how much credit people are giving these few home owners for making all these changes in OB. Maybe someone did complain about the new benches drawing people closer to their homes, maybe not. A simple solution is to just move the benches closer to the parking lot as oppose to any and all of the homes that are up against the grass area of OB. People are going to use the area whether the benches are there or not. I think having the benches are a nice additional, but I would agree that if they are just moved further from a persons property, problem solved. And there is always a constant plug about these homeowners being rich, etc, really is building a home now what makes you considered rich?
John July 18, 2014 at 9:51 pm
I think in time people will realize it's not Stebbins that owns all four properties. He's been an understandably easy target- an attorney who drives a Mercedes. Burks is a regular guy, the Doumas I've known for years. His dad bought the original house in the 50s and he was born there. He toils away at a civil service type job for the navy. When I moved out of 5168 and physical issues mounted John took 3 days off work and pitched in and helped with the heavy work. Like it or not Douma and Burks are as much obecians as anyone and while protecting OBs character is important it doesn't have to include creating villains out of average people. To its credit I believe the OB Rag has strived for accuracy in its reporting and the human fault of mob mentality and fear of change is what's driven some of these sentiments. When you look your enemy in the eye and see he's human like you it's difficult to keep hating him.

Fundraising Helpsheets
DEAR FUNDERS, WOULD YOU CONSIDER THESE NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS?
Research by the funding platform Brevio estimates that UK charities spent a collective £442 million on writing funding applications during the Covid-19 pandemic, with over 50% seeing a declining success rate.
With many organisations struggling to survive - ravaged by the grim ABC of Austerity, Brexit and Covid-19 - surely there's a better way of doing things? I'm not sure it's the done thing to write New Year's resolutions for other people, but I've been working on a 2021 wish list for trusts and foundations...
Too many funders are making fundraisers' jobs harder than necessary. Not every funder is guilty - and I've tried to highlight some positive examples below too - but the vast majority could make big improvements by fixing at least some of the following:
Update your reserves policy to reflect a year like no other
If you browse what funders say about reserves levels, you'd be forgiven for thinking that keeping anything below three months or above six months of running costs is a heinous crime. It feels like organisations can't win - step outside a narrow, arbitrarily-defined window, and you're either financially reckless or decadent beyond belief.
Yet 2020 provided a compelling justification for more generous reserves - suddenly, six months' running costs doesn't seem so indulgent in a year-long pandemic. Equally importantly, many organisations will now have severely depleted their reserves to keep themselves afloat. So funders: it'd be great to see you reflecting on the consequences of the pandemic and adjusting your reserves requirements, at least temporarily.
Adopt a two-stage application process
There's nothing more frustrating than spending days on an application, then being told by the funder that "we don't feel you meet our objectives" or "we're no longer funding in that area". Even when you've researched a funder thoroughly, you often have no idea how they'll perceive your work until you've told them about it.
That's why it's great that funders like the National Lottery Community Fund, John Ellerman Foundation and Masonic Charitable Foundation have a two-stage process for larger grants. A simple form to gather some initial information about the organisation and project, then a longer form if they still feel you're a potential fit.
Unless somebody can give me a good reason otherwise, this is an obvious win-win. Applicants spend less time on lengthy forms that were always destined to be unsuccessful. Funders save resources too, by drastically reducing the time spent assessing so many long and unsuitable applications - this would surely more than make up for the extra administration of a two-stage process.
Commit to giving feedback (at least at stage two)
Getting meaningful feedback on unsuccessful applications is a game-changer for charities. If you understand why an application was rejected, you can judge whether it's worth ever reapplying to that same funder - and use that feedback to strengthen other applications too.
I get that providing feedback can be problematic for funders, particularly when they're hugely oversubscribed. Yet this is another justification for the two-stage application process: by initially whittling down applicants to the best 10-20%, it's easier to then commit to providing feedback to those who clear the first hurdle.
This seems a fair bargain to me – we might not be able to give everyone feedback but we'll at least make it a fairly quick and painless process. And if we do decide we need considerably more information from you, we'll make sure you get something useful from it.
Adopt a standardised format for common questions
"Describe your organisation in 150 words"
"Tell us about your aims and activities in 250 words"
"How are you currently funded? (200 words)"
"Briefly summarise your fundraising strategy (1,000 characters)"
It's frustrating to see funders use so many variations of wording and word counts for questions that essentially want the same information, especially when it's often already publicly available anyway. Asking organisations to produce countless versions of the same description is a huge waste of time and provides next to no additional value for the funder.
I get that funders will assess applications differently and need bespoke information in many areas. But for the more straightforward questions, can't you club together and adopt a standardised format?
Clearly show whether you're open to applications from new organisations
The downside of using databases like Funds Online or Funding Central is that you turn up plenty of funders that are great on paper but will do nothing for your bank balance. Dig a little deeper (say in their annual accounts) and you realise that although their objectives seem to perfectly match yours, they haven't given grants for two years or even funded any new organisations for a decade!
These 'zombie funders' are a black hole of time for the uninitiated fundraiser. For example, most charities seem to have the Denise Coates Foundation on their pipeline at some point, but never receive a grant. That's because, while it's not explicitly said anywhere, unless you're an organisation in the Stoke-on-Trent area that's well-known to them, you'll do just as well if you throw your application in the bin.
So, funders, how about introducing a basic traffic light system on your websites and annual accounts? Red = not currently giving new grants, Amber = likely to only fund repeat applicants, Green = open to applications from new organisations. It'd save us all a lot of time.
Publish some key metrics to help applicants decide whether it's worth it
While I'm on my soapbox about increased transparency, there are at least two other bits of data that every funder should publish: the previous success rate for applications (Tudor Trust does this here) and how long it takes organisations on average to complete an application (I know that the Postcode Community Trust used to include this on their form).
This vital information would enable fundraisers to weigh up the wisdom of applying, and make funders more accountable in terms of the impact their application process has on the sector. Which leads me to…
If you're going to measure your social impact, factor in the time organisations spend on failed bids to you
This won't be popular with corporate foundations that make a big song and dance about showcasing their impact and unveiling their annual awards, but make applicants jump through a hundred hoops.
On the outside, this looks great. For example, the 2020 Movement For Good awards gave away £50,000 grants to ten lucky charities whose good work is showcased here. What's not to love?
Trouble is, there was a point last summer when nearly every organisation I spoke to was applying for a grant. There was no real indication in advance of what they'd fund, the application form asked some very specific and detailed questions, and of course there was no feedback for unsuccessful applicants. Hypothetically let's say that a thousand charities each spent 1-2 days on an application - when you start to estimate the staff time involved, did this cost the sector almost as much as the amount given away?
With a corporate social responsibility agenda to promote, many corporate foundations want to attract as many applicants as possible. There's little incentive for them to ensure the application workload is proportionate to the award, and no requirement for them to measure whether they're having a net positive impact on the sector. More funders should assess this - I suspect they'd be shocked by the results.
And finally, the elephant in the room…
Plenty of people will say that it's entirely up to a funder how they distribute their money. What right do grantees and applicants have to intervene?
As we've previously argued here, there are some major issues with modern philanthropy that we absolutely have the right to challenge. Charitable status brings plenty of advantages for trusts and foundations (and their benefactors) – and the combination of tax breaks for contributing companies and Gift Aid for individual donors means that a good portion of the money they give isn't actually theirs anyway.
So, for me, the above list isn't a list of nice-to-haves. We should put in place some clear and incentivised best practice guidelines for funders. If you want to keep benefiting from your current tax advantages, make sure you're giving in a way that doesn't create a nightmare for applicants. If you want to keep giving entirely on your own terms, that's fine - but then let's change your legal status and make sure it's 100% your money to give.
MOVING BEYOND A NICE SENTIMENT - HOW CAN WE ACTUALLY CHANGE AND CHALLENGE PROBLEMATIC PHILANTHROPY?
Back in June, in response to the toppling of the statue of Edward Colston in Bristol and the Black Lives Matter movement, I shared some reflections on the issues facing philanthropy.
My argument in a nutshell was this: philanthropy is inextricably tied with extreme wealth, and most of that wealth is derived from activities that increase inequality. Philanthropy gives a particular audience – wealthy, privileged, mostly white, usually male – disproportionate influence over the sector's work and policies, and an opportunity to implement a vision of social change that is likely very different from your own. This process is inadvertently endorsed every day by fundraisers and charities – so while Edward Colston is an extreme and high-profile case, there are other examples everywhere.
I'm delighted that this blog sparked plenty of debate and discussion, but I'm conscious it offered little by way of solutions. The truth is, it's very difficult for most fundraisers to take action, especially if their organisation isn't geared up to question philanthropy.
Several people rightly asked for some thoughts on what organisations can actually do differently, rather than just why it's important. This is where things get trickier, and more controversial, but here are my views…
Reduce your long-term dependence on philanthropy
Let's deal with the elephant in the room. It's all very well not wanting to accept certain donations - but in the current climate, for many, it's not unreasonable to think that turning away a big gift could lead to service closures or staff redundancies.
I can't pretend there's a quick or easy answer to this. But we've previously shared various thoughts about diversifying your income, which will inevitably reduce your reliance on a single funder, donor or income stream, and make it easier to stick to your principles.
This 2018 blog explores how to build a business case to persuade your organisation to invest in developing a more diverse fundraising portfolio. And in this podcast, I interview Fran Ferris-Ockwell, former CEO of a Sheffield housing charity, on how she guided them through a process to reduce their reliance on contract income, with huge improvements to their independence and organisational culture.
Most organisations won't be able to reduce their dependence on funders and major donors overnight, but these steps are a key starting point – particularly if you're brave enough to set an explicit long-term strategic objective to become less dependent on grants and major gifts over several years.
Create a fit-for-purpose ethical fundraising policy
We previously shared six guiding principles about creating an ethical policy. While it might be tempting to find a policy template online and quickly adapt it, the most important part of this exercise is having an honest and meaningful conversation with your management team and trustees. You should develop guidelines that feel appropriate for your organisation, mission and service users. Don't expect this to be an easy exercise, or for everyone to immediately agree, as you're dealing with a complex issue.
Be aware that enforcing your policy to the letter might lead to both accepting or rejecting donations in controversial circumstances later. This could conceivably lead to negative press coverage, complaints from supporters, disagreements with staff and trustees, or having to close a service. You need to fully anticipate and 'test' the potential consequences of your policy, so you can confidently justify decisions later.
Empower your fundraisers and lead by example
After publishing our original blog in June, I was contacted by several fundraisers sharing experiences where they felt uncomfortable about the ethical implications of a donation or a donor's behaviour, but felt unable to act. For example:
And me feeling I would maybe 'harm' the relationship for the organisation I represented by having an opinion. I still think too much emphasis is put on individuals in fundraising to make ethical decisions which is always going 2 be a point of contention when the org has no policy
— HannahKateLitherland (@Han_Litherland) June 23, 2020
Your 'front line' fundraisers are likely to be younger, less experienced and less influential than your donor prospects, management and trustees. They may well be working under pressure, knowing that failing to hit financial targets could well harm the organisation's financial health, staff livelihoods and service users. So even if a fundraiser feels uncomfortable about something, voicing this might feel daunting and detrimental to their career.
Solving this actually goes beyond having an ethical fundraising policy, particularly one that sits in a drawer gathering dust. Your senior management and trustees need to lead by example by openly talking about the ethical issues with philanthropy, and creating opportunities for fundraisers to raise concerns and ask questions without fearing a backlash.
Something else to consider: is your approach to setting fundraising targets and KPIs creating an environment where fundraisers feel pressured to stay silent and bring in donations at all costs? Unrealistic targets - particularly those based purely on the cost of your projects rather than sector benchmark data, are another potential barrier to thoughtful and ethical fundraising.
Move beyond #donorlove
This feels controversial - when I suggested this on Twitter, I was met with some incredulous responses.
#donorlove is a popular term to describe a donor-centric approach to fundraising that focuses on making donors feel loved, valued and appreciated, to encourage and retain their support. This isn't totally without merit - many organisations don't do this, and miss out on donations as a result. I've previously shared my own experiences as a donor and why charities should get better at saying thank you.
But too often, #donorlove crosses into advocating putting the donor's wishes and the importance of building a relationship with them above other concerns. I've seen high-profile consultants advise charities to structure annual reports entirely around recognising the contributions and achievements of the donor, even if their service users fade into the background as a result.
#donorlove is a popular concept among fundraisers and consultants, but at what cost?
I think you can make a case for #donorlove being incompatible with the need to re-examine philanthropy in response to recent events - and an inadvertent endorsement of hypocritical philanthropy, the problematic influence of wealthy donors and the white saviour complex. When fundraisers are faced with the pressure of a financial crisis, silence from their senior leadership, and influential fundraisers' unswerving commitment to #donorlove, is it really any surprise that they feel unable to do things differently?
I doubt that #donorlove is going anywhere fast - too many high-profile fundraisers and consultants have structured their livelihoods around the concept - but perhaps we need to start taking the first steps.
Challenge how we structure, incentivise and culturally revere philanthropy
Philanthropy is commonly considered an unselfish, freely-taken individual act that increases equality and is open to everyone. Cast in this light, what right do we have to challenge where that money comes from, or how it is used?
Unfortunately, this view of philanthropy is false.
In his book "Just Giving: Why Philanthropy Is Failing Democracy and How It Can Do Better", Rob Reich examines the philanthropic landscape in the US and reaches two uncomfortable conclusions. Firstly, less than a third of charitable giving actually benefits low-income people. Secondly, the US tax system is massively skewed towards rewarding and incentivising the wealthiest donors: if you earn under $153,100 per year then a $100 donation costs you $100, whereas it can cost a higher earner as little as $60.
Admittedly the UK landscape is somewhat different, not least because we have a Gift Aid scheme rather than just tax breaks for the donor. But essentially, the same problem exists globally: the tax system greatly subsidises charitable giving and enables richer people to donate money at less personal cost. This actually takes money out of the public purse and redirects it towards causes favoured by the rich and powerful, which rarely benefit low-income people. Philanthropy therefore can actually harm rather than help equality.
This thought-provoking book by Rob Reich casts philanthropy in a new and troubling light
Reframing philanthropy in this way completely changes our right and obligation to challenge it. For example, how much influence and recognition should a wealthy donor enjoy for their supposedly 'selfless' gift? Should we permit a family trust to be opaque about where its money comes from, and how it decides which causes to support? Why can't we create and enforce a new code of ethics and transparency, and remove the huge tax breaks for funders and donors who won't play ball?
In barely 100 years, we've gone from elite-level philanthropy being met with suspicion and fierce criticism - Rob Reich documents the angry response to John Rockefeller's early attempts to establish his charitable foundation in the US in the early 1900s - to today's almost unquestioning endorsement of philanthropy and #donorlove.
In keeping with the positive response to the toppling of Edward Colston's statue and the Black Lives Matter movement, I think we urgently need to start nudging back in the other direction.
Six insights on fundraising during the Covid-19 recovery
In our Fundraising During Covid-19 online briefing last week, five different fundraising specialists talked about their recent experiences and what organisations should be looking out for in the next 6-12 months. Here are six lessons from the briefing for fundraisers far and wide...
Firstly, a huge thanks to our panel of four external speakers:
Community Fundraising & Events: Louisa McLellan (Community Fundraising Manager, British Red Cross)
Individual Giving: Harpreet Kondel (Consultant, Fundraising Specialist Ltd with recent senior individual giving roles at Mencap, Age UK & Animals Asia)
Corporate & Major Donors: Lottie Donovan (Freelance consultant & formerly Watershed Bristol)
Legacy Fundraising: Claire Routley (Consultant, Legacy Fundraising Ltd.)
...and I also did a presentation on Trusts & Foundations!
1. People are still giving...
The headline news from all our speakers was that, for the most part, people are still donating and fundraising.
Research in May showed that one-third of UK donors were actually donating more than pre-Covid-19. Louisa highlighted the phenomenal success of mass participation virtual events like the 2.6 Challenge. Claire said that while many charities felt uncomfortable talking about legacies in the early months of the pandemic and stopped doing so, the Law Society actually reported a dramatic growth in will writing - potentially an opportunity missed for the sector. Some charities have been working sensitively with executors to speed up legacy payments to help with cash flow problems.
I shared this example of a small family trust that are still giving, and doing what they can to show flexibility and understanding:
They may be facing their own challenges, but funders and donors are also responding to events around them - stories in the news, or experiences of illness or tragedy closer to home - which are often prompts for wanting to support good causes.
2. …but they're also facing new pressures
While people are still giving, many are feeling the strain of the pandemic – financially, emotionally and in terms of time/capacity. With a recession around the corner and dividend income down, some philanthropists may hesitate about donating, and some companies are slashing Corporate Social Responsibility budgets. Trusts and foundations will be dealing with the same logistical challenges as you – staff furloughed, unwell or struggling with childcare, meetings postponed, and technology hiccups.
In such uncertain times, it's easy to talk yourself out of asking for money at all. This is a mistake. If you don't ask, you're denying your funders and supporters an opportunity too, and somebody else will them instead. It's fine to ask, but be conscious of the challenges people might be experiencing currently, don't put them under pressure, and listen and respond to feedback.
Contact companies and trusts to check on their current situation before applying, to avoid wasting your time and theirs. Listen carefully to your prospective major donors - as Lottie explained, hearing 'no' might not be an absolute rejection, but could just mean no to that amount, no for the next six months, or no to that particular project.
3. Relationships remain crucial, but adapt your approach to building them
Building relationships is one of our seven universal fundraising rules that will never let you down. But developing relationships amid social distancing, and when your time is stretched, is difficult. While it's been a pleasant surprise just how much can be achieved online in recent months, there's no easy substitute for face-to-face interaction when it comes to getting to know supporters or getting introduced to new contacts.
Nevertheless, we mustn't abandon our attempts to build meaningful relationships. Harpreet told attendees that now is the time to be creative, test new channels, and invest time in ideas and conversations on social media. It could also be a good time to re-examine your lawful basis for getting in touch with your supporters – Harpreet observed that many charities haven't communicated with some supporters since 2018 because they didn't give opt-in consent when GDPR came in, but some of these supporters may never have understood why they stopped being contacted. You could explore using 'legitimate interests' to get back in touch now.
If cancelled events have freed up budget and staff time, consider investing this in phoning supporters and being more active and visible on social media. Don't hold off communicating with supporters because you don't have a specific ask ready. Phone them anyway, even just to ask how they're doing or to update them on your work. Investing time in relationships now will lead to stronger support and donations tomorrow.
4. Keep externalising your case for support
Drawing on her experience in the arts sector, Lottie observed how many organisations have recently asked for money to 'keep their doors open' or avoid laying off staff. Sadly, while this is paramount to you, it's unlikely to be compelling to your donors, unless they're extremely invested in your organisation.
Donors care about the people you support and the positive impact of your work, not keeping you afloat. So you need to be telling inspiring stories and presenting a clear case for support that explains who you help, why they need support, what you do to meet the need, the impact of your work, and why you're best placed to achieve change.
Virtually all our speakers highlighted the importance of a good case for support - for funding applications, individual giving campaigns, major donor asks and legacy fundraising. It's more important than ever during a crisis, with so many organisations competing for donations and emergency funding. One possible negative impact of the recent Government bailouts for the charity sector and the arts is that the general public might mistakenly perceive that charities are now well-funded. The reality is that these bailouts are tiny in the face of rising need, but it's up to you to make this case to your supporters.
Lockdown has posed an existential threat to many arts venues - but 'donate to keep our doors open' isn't a compelling message for supporters
5. Maintain quality and good practice
We asked our speakers to explain what hasn't changed in fundraising since Covid-19, as well as what has - and it was abundantly clear that good practice doesn't go out the window when a crisis strikes.
Time and again, our speakers emphasised the importance of doing things the right way, even when there's a sense of urgency. Louisa talked about the need to plan events well in advance and budget very carefully, especially when social distancing might mean your events have to be smaller-scale and less profitable. Claire highlighted the need to maintain common good practice in legacy fundraising: not leading with a scary focus on death, taking a 'drip drip' marketing approach, and always respecting donors' wishes and wellbeing.
It's easier to keep an emphasis on quality and good practice when you don't overcommit. For example, you're likely to make a better impression - and raise more money - if you take the time to write three emergency funding applications well, rather than rushing out eight poor-quality bids.
6. We're all still figuring things out - so be curious, flexible and kind
No fundraiser has a reliable crystal ball during this pandemic
Harpreet put it best when she said that right now, fundraisers have to be comfortable not knowing all the answers, as we're all feeling our way in the dark. This is an unprecedented crisis – nobody really knows what is round the corner, or which fundraising tactics will yield the best response. So I believe we need to do three things:
Be curious - test out new messages and ways of communicating with supporters, before committing significant time and budget to them. Measure and reflect on the results. Monitor what other organisations are doing well, and badly. Ask other fundraisers for advice, and sign up for events where people share observations and best practice.
Be flexible - lockdown restrictions and public mood are liable to change quickly, so be ready to respond. Your Senior Management Team will need to be more agile and get used to signing off ideas more quickly, or your organisation could be left behind.
Be kind - it's ok to not know what's round the corner, to make mistakes, and to sometimes just feel overwhelmed and despondent. Equally, Louisa mentioned the importance of celebrating your successes when they come – this keeps you feeling positive, makes the inevitable rejections easier to deal with, and boosts colleagues' moods too.
EDWARD COLSTON: THE BEGINNING, NOT THE END, OF THE SPOTLIGHT ON HYPOCRITICAL PHILANTHROPY
Time will tell, but I really hope the last couple of weeks will be a landmark moment in history, with the Black Lives Matter movement gathering widespread support, and people doing some genuine, long-overdue soul-searching about racial inequality. Bristol, where I live, has felt like the epicentre of grassroots change, with the dramatic toppling of the statue of Edward Colston.
Bristol is a city haunted by the slave trade, and this statue has been a focal point of the long debate about the legacy of Edward Colston. It's important to remember that the statue is very much the tip of the iceberg – at last count, Bristol 'boasts' eight streets, two pubs, two schools, a fruity bun and the city's largest music venue named after Colston.
Disentangling the messy web spun by such a prolific philanthropist has proved complicated, particularly as change has long been opposed by influential philanthropists in Bristol. People only took matters into their own hands after many tried - unsuccessfully - to find a democratic solution for years.
This is something to be celebrated - and many have been, including the CEO of the Wolfson Foundation:
I want to agree with this sentiment, but actually I think we're at the very beginning of the argument, not the end. While few people would actively argue that philanthropy excuses the unethical practices that first generated that money, this view is inadvertently endorsed every day - and fundraisers and charities are very much complicit in this. There are examples everywhere, once you start to look.
The day after the statue came down, I felt this strange need to go down to the site myself, and just...think. I started writing this blog down there.
Looming above the smashed plinth and handful of people still milling about was Colston Tower - a building that can't be torn down by people who are fed up of waiting for official action. If Bristol wants to fully rid itself of the Colston legacy, this is going to take a conscious decision from those in power whose track record - no matter they say - still suggests they believe that philanthropic good deeds outweigh harmful past actions.
As people surveyed the remains of the Colston statue plinth, how many were conscious of Colston Tower looming over them in the background?
Of course, this isn't just a Bristol problem. London's Tate Galleries take their name from Henry Tate, whose company Tate & Lyle was inextricably tied with the sugar industry and the slave trade.
A great many museums have received large donations from the Sackler Trust, and some bear the Sackler name. You might well know that the Sackler Trust was closely linked to Purdue Pharma, who are accused of fuelling the US opioid crisis and spent years aggressively pursuing legal action so they could continue selling their highly addictive drugs.
But we're on safer ground with most corporate foundations, right? I know countless grassroots community projects that have benefitted from grants connected to the banking sector - think Santander Foundation, the RBS Skills and Opportunities Fund, and Barclays' new 100x100 UK COVID-19 Community Relief Programme. Yet a 2018 report by Ethical Consumer magazine said this:
The UK's big five high street banks [Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds, RBS and Santander] are hindering the sector's efforts to tackle climate change by continuing to profit from some of the world's dirtiest fossil fuel projects. [...] The UK's mainstream banking industry has involvement with virtually every ethical 'problem sector' from factory farming through to nuclear weapons.
How many charities write ethical fundraising policies that prohibit donations from philanthropists involved in these 'problem sectors', but wouldn't think twice about applying for a grant from a foundation connected to one of the big five banks?

The trouble is that while most people have clear views about Edward Colston, underneath this there's a huge grey area. And the more you dig, the greyer it gets.
Many social welfare charities are funded by wealthy family trusts whose trustees have, for decades, both implemented and supported policies that drive a coach and horses through social mobility. Their businesses often pay as little tax as possible and profit greatly from things like zero hours contracts - which keep vast numbers of people, including so many charity service users, locked in poverty.
2020 brought a new entrant to the UK trusts and foundations scene: the Hargreaves Foundation – founded by Peter Hargreaves, major donor to the Leave.EU Brexit campaign, friend of Jacob Rees-Mogg, and a man who outlined his employment policies and interest in charities in an interview with The Sunday Times:
If you want to downsize your company, give everybody a piece of paper and ask them, in as few words as possible, what they would do. Anybody who writes half a page, sack them, because they probably do nothing. If a charity wants to write me 5,000 words about what it does – well, I don't think it knows what it's doing.
And I recently discovered this remarkable exclusion from a small family trust in Oxfordshire: "We will not support charities that in our view are ambivalent about, or actively campaign for the abolition of, field sports." Imagine being so vehemently pro-field sports that you simply wouldn't consider funding a charity that has even mixed feelings about fox-hunting?!
Does any of this really matter? Where should we draw the line?
Should we only reject money from those who have been publicly condemned for doing Very Bad Things? Or are harmful but widespread business practices up for scrutiny too? When should we take people's publicly held opinions into account - when they actively harm our beneficiaries, when they go against our charity's message, or when we just find them personally repugnant?
I'm not saying everyone will take issue will all of the above examples - or that you should. But it's an important conversation to have. And I think that recent events in Bristol should mark the beginning of the argument about hypocritical philanthropy, not the end.
It's an inescapable fact that philanthropy is closely tied with extreme wealth, and most of that wealth is derived from activities that increase inequality. Philanthropy often buys people 'a seat at the table', and this gives a particular audience – wealthy, privileged, mostly white, usually male – disproportionate influence to implement their own vision of equality, social mobility and climate change. A vision that is, almost certainly, very different from your own.
If we want to address this, we're going to have to start digging a lot deeper than Edward Colston.
