This week, Slate is co-hosting the Slate 60 Conference on Innovative Philanthropy with the William J. Clinton Foundation and the Clinton School of Public Service at the University of Arkansas. The idea is to gather 150 donors and thinkers in hopes of spurring more and better giving. To accompany the conference, we're running a series of pieces that take a practical and sometimes skeptical look at major philanthropy:
