I don't think Komen is going to be able to recover from this. Especially as more and more ugly truths about their policies, practices and politics come to light. And they are not the only game in town when it comes to grassroots fundraising for breast cancer research.

As a fundraising professional I know that the Komen foundation is going to be held up as an example for all non-profits...

I can see the conference breakout sessions now: "Komen foundation: how to lose your small and mid-level donor base in one fell swoop" and "political board members, asset or liability?" and "transparency, its not just a buzzword"

I am really really pleased to see the truly unprecedented outpouring of support for Planned Parenthood, over $3million raised in less than 3days!!! That is remarkable. It gives me faith in the American public.
