Philanthropy 2.0

About a month agao, I had the honor of joining the board of the Entrepreneur's Foundation of Colorado (EFCo).  EFCo has a very simple and effective model...venture-backed companies may donate 1% of their Series A equity to be held until a liquidity event.  At that time, the money generated is used to fund local community foundations.  But, there is more to it.  Member companies have resources available to them to engender a spirit of philanthopy and giving throughout the entire organization.   I am excited to start working on this endeavor within NewsGator in the coming months.
