Read about this Blog

My name is David Wickert david.wickert@chapel-york.com and I run a company called Chapel & York www.chapel-york.com   Chapel & York helps people do cross border philanthropy, and that’s all it does.  This is my work diary.  Not appointments but reflections.  Inevitably it reflects my interests.  It is based primarily on the practical issues that cross my desk day by day.  It is designed primarily for fundraisers who look beyond their borders, and I think of it as a useful business tool, raising issues, sometimes providing answers, and welcoming other points of view. 

 Confidentiality.  The issues I describe are real but I ensure that the identity of clients is safeguarded.
