In case you missed it, the special focus of the January 24, 2011 Crain's Chicago Business was on nonprofits and philanthropy:

• Valerie S. Lies, President and CEO of Donors Forum, Rafael Malpica of Walgreen Co, and Jason Saul of Mission Measurement were quoted in an article about corporate giving.
• An article on L3Cs includes a quote from Harborquest, Inc. and an opinion from David Chernoff, Associate General Council at the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, on why L3Cs may not be necessary.
• A story on tax policy in charitable giving quotes Jewish United Fund/Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago and Metropolitan Family Services and cites a study by Bank of America.
• Another article discusses the trend toward smaller, more personal gatherings of supporters and quotes Chicago Cares, Inc. and Chicago Foundation for Women.
• The Active Transportation Alliance and Chicago Community Trust were quoted in a piece on nonprofits' use of social media.
