How a liberal think tank gets money:

It hasn't just survived, it has thrived. The center has grown into a $13 million-a-year operation with a staff of more than 80, affiliated organizations in 21 states and a small but growing international division. Its money comes from some of the country's blue-chip foundations, including Ford, Rockefeller, MacArthur, Casey, Packard and Mott.

Front page of today's Washington Post business section. My brother is mentioned by name:

A Powerhouse For The Poor

"They have a wonk for everything," says my Post colleague, Ruth Marcus, who says that she can get "any number that ever appeared in any federal budget document at any time of day" by calling the center's budget guru, Richard Kogan.

That's awesome. Rachel is going to spend the summer learning budgeting, so it's good to see that the skill can be put to non-evil use.

Can you not get your brother to divert say 5% of that budget your way? And is the Ruth mentioned Greil's sister?
