- The Internal Revenue Service was wrong to give small charities a reprieve for missing a deadline to file a new online tax form, argues Jack Siegel, a lawyer who writes the Charity Governance blog.

- In a blog post about how to persuade trustees to raise money, Mohan Sikka, senior project director of the Community Resource Exchange, in New York, says that good board members care about a charity’s executive director and helping the leader succeed.
- The staff of New Philanthropy Capital, a charity-evaluation group in Britain, is writing a series of blog posts that make recommendations to Nick Hurd, the new British charities minister.
