http://trentstamp.blogspot.com/
In his popular blog, Charity Navigator's president comments on the latest philanthropic-related news from the donor's perspective. Charity Navigator (www.charitynavigator.org), which evaluates 5000 American charities, is the very first entry on Google when you type in the word "charity", and helps over two million Americans each year with their charitable giving decisions.
