    One of the most surprising, and perhaps confounding, facts of charity in America is that the people who can least afford to give are the ones who donate the greatest percentage of their income.

    Americans have gotten poorer over the past decade. The median net worth of American households came in at $68,828 in 2011, down from $81,821 in 2000 (in inflation-adjusted dollars) and far below the peak of $108,585 in 2005, according to recently released Census Bureau stats.

    I have a vision of how suitors decide how much to offer for a start-up they want to buy. Several executives go into a conference room. Each scribbles a number on a piece of paper and places it in a hat. Then the chief executive pulls out a number, and there it is.

    Philanthropy is the flavor of the month in India: Wipro chairman Azim Premji recently became the first person in the country to sign up for the Giving Pledge, a commitment by the world's richest people to dedicate the majority of their wealth to charity.

    A new Aspen Institute report, entitled Information for Impact: Liberating Nonprofit Sector Data...which was prepared for the Institute's Program on Philanthropy and Social Innovation, details how information found in the Form 990, like other important data collected by the government, could potentially be far more useful if it were not only public but "open" - thus, searchable and interactive as opposed to the forms currently available as pictures that do not allow for easy data collection.
