This is correct. The $66K comes from the businesses. Every charity is a winner, as they each leave with $4750 or more (depending on if you placed 1-3).

From what I see, the companies donate to a pool, then the teams compete for ranked amounts to go to their charity.

looks like a great team building activity for the company teams and
all the proceeds of it go to their named charities.

This is a wonderful way to link local philanthropy with Corporate fun. Congratulations to all involved. It would be interesting to know the total cost of putting this event on? What is the expense/revenue ratio compared to best practices?

It is interesting to observe how the Centre on Philanthropy itself navigates these tough economic times – they are reducing staff and office overhead without clearly communicating with their members. Are they slowly imploding?

There is an outstanding and ongoing question of potential collaboration between the Bermuda Community Foundation and The Centre on Philanthropy. It looks like the right time to revisit this option and create one organisation with competent resources dedicated to serving the entire third sector- donors, volunteers and charities.
