For the newest, most effective models for CSR and for-profit/nonprofit partnerships, private interviews with leaders like Maria Eitel, President Obama's nominee to head the Corporation for National Service, commentaries from leadership discussions with Ken Chenault, Chairman and CEO, American Express, and reports from meetings with President Clinton and heads of global corporations, read Alice Korngold's blog on "Leading Companies for Good" on Fast Company.

For her Fast Company blog, Korngold draws on her experience in training and placing business executives on nonprofit boards of directors, most of whom rise to board leadership roles. Korngold consults to businesses that strengthen communities by integrating philanthropic dollars with service - including the involvement of their executives on nonprofit boards, professionals in providing management and technical assistance, and all employees interested in volunteering. Korngold also consults to global, national, and regional nonprofit boards of directors and foundations helping them to envision and achieve their greater potential.

Her book on "Leveraging Good Will: Strengthening Nonprofits by Engaging Businesses" (Jossey-Bass, A Wiley Imprint, 2005) presented her pioneering model for training and placing over a thousand business executives on nonprofit boards, a model she helped other cities and organizations to replicate. Korngold's firm is based in NYC.

Korngold's blog is also used by people seeking advice on where to invest their charitable contributions; how to choose a nonprofit board; where to volunteer; how to be more a more effective board member; or how to fundraise in tough times.
