Washington, D.C., is awash in theories of how best to help the poor. Capital Research Center's monthly Compassion & Culture (formerly Philanthropy, Culture & Society) takes a more practical approach, examining in detail how charity works - and sometimes fails - on the front lines.

Tough-minded, individual actions are what change lives for the better. Provides access to articles from May 2001 all the way back to July 1995. Still available courtesy of the Internet Archive.

OMB Watch Nonprofit News
http://www.ombwatch.org/npadv/
News and Analysis on Issues Affecting Nonprofits. OMB Watch was created when the Reagan Office of Management and Budget proposed a rule, first hatched by the Heritage Foundation, that would have "defunded the left," and in the process, a substantial segment of the nonprofit community generally. Since then OMB Watch has been a leader in the fight against proposals that would limit nonprofit advocacy rights. OMB Watch now co-chairs the Let America Speak Coalition along with Independent Sector and Alliance for Justice to fight such proposals. OMB Watch's involvement in nonprofit issues, however, is no longer limited to nonprofit advocacy. OMB Watch also works to increase nonprofit access to the latest communications technology, including the Internet.
