The Case against Rainy-Day Framing of Budgets and Taxes
Few things are more loathed by the public than taxes, and our cultural models encourage us to view government as something to be resisted and our tax system as a faulty or rigged vending machine. So how do we change these entrenched ways of thinking? The FrameWorks Institute has some ideas.
by Susan Nall Bales and Yndia Lorick-Wilmot, PhD

Billionaire philanthropists have many options for doling out their mega-funds, and many will opt for traditional private foundations. But how do we raise questions about the timing of long-term grantmaking? And does the “spend down” model need rebranding?
by A. W. “Buzz” Schmidt
