AbstractThis article reports the results of a national survey of corporate philanthropy programs in which the influence of strategic philanthropy on corporate contributions to United Way was investigated. The results indicate that highly strategic philanthropy programs gave a lower percentage of total direct contributions to United Way than less strategic programs. Strategic philanthropy was defined in this study as the process by which contributions are targeted to meet both business objectives and recipient needs. Based on the results of the study, the author encourages United Way staff and other nonprofit managers to work more closely with corporate contribution managers to develop measurable criteria regarding the impact of health and human services contributions on strategic business goals and objectives.
In this autobiographical Libre dels Feyts, James I the Conqueror, King of Aragon, describes a juridical procedure which he instituted in 1267 against a gang of counterfeiters operating out of the town of Tarazona. This procedure, which the King calls an "inquisició", corresponds exactly to the "pesquisa" of the neighboring kingdom of Castile, although the Aragonese legal tradition was theoretically hostile to the "pesquisa" as a legal instrument. Here the various steps of James'trial of the counterfeiters are compared to the regulations governing the use of "pesquisa" in contemporary Alfonsine legislation. ; [fr] Dans son autobiographie le Libre dels Feyts, Jacques I le Conquérant, roi d'Aragon, décrit un procédé juridique qu'il a utilisé en 1267 contre une bande de faux-monnayeurs de la ville de Tarazona. Ce procédé, appelle "inquisició" par le roi, correspond pas à pas à la "pesquisa" du royaume voisin de Castille, bien que l'inquisition était théoriquement exclue de l'établissement juridique aragonais. Ici on compare les étapes du procès raconté par Jacques I avec les règlements sur la "pesquisa" dans la législation contemporaine d'Alphonse X le Sage.
