...most of this from the original invitation to the first Giving Conference, in Chicago:

Who Are We?

We are Passion and Purpose. Story and Vision. Learning and Sharing. Funders and Friends of Philanthropy. Active Citizens, Volunteers and Advisors. Thought Leaders and Social Theorists. Students. Social Venture Entrepreneurs. Community Leaders. Story-tellers and Bloggers. Wired and Willing. Retired and not ready to Rest. We are committed to cultivating the grassroots, to giving new shape to a robust community of givers and giving. We dare to hope -- and connect. We are joining with one another to make our visions real.
