Second Life and Philanthropy

The MacArthur Foundation (gives out genius grants and funds numerous PBS programs/NPR) is now on Second Life (see NY Times article below). I am sending this article to my students to show them another creative use for this virtual world. Several Volton team members are resistant to SL because of strange interactions they experienced there. I need to inquire further (for our research purposes).
