When Mark Corpus and Mark Capriotti wanted to expand ReAnimator Cof fee, their Fishtown-based coffee roasting firm, they didn’t go to a bank. Instead, they tur ned to Lucky An t, a New York-based hyperlocal crowdfunding website for small businesses that r ecently began working with companies in a few Philadelphia neighborhoods. “We’ve raised close to $150,000 for about 20 businesses,” said Nate Echeverria, who launched Lucky Ant with a fellow University of Pennsylvania alumnus, Jonathan Moyal. Lucky Ant helped Corpus and Capriotti determine how much they wanted to try to raise and the pr oducts and ser vices they would give to people in exchange for money. It then filmed a video with Corpus and Capriotti explaining their goals and posted that on a page for ReAnimator on its website. In 25 days, Corpus and Capriotti raised $8,545 by offering a range of promotions, including free coffee for life to anyone who committed $500. Lucky Ant got a percentage of the mone y, but Capriotti said it ear ned its Echeverria keep. “They consulted with us, they made the video, they put together the page on their website, so there was a lot of gr unt work that we didn’t have to do,” he said. Lucky Ant is one of numerous websites that take adMoyal vantage of the aggr egative properties of the Inter net to do ever ything from raise money to source projects. Generally, what the sites enable is called crowdsourcing, a subset of which is crowdfunding. Crowdfunding sites can be broken down into two gr oups: those such as Lucky Ant, which enable non-equity crowdfunding; and those thr ough which businesses actually sell small stakes in themselves, which is called equity crowdfunding. The latter are supposed to come into existence as a result of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups, or JOBS act, but Michael Harrington, a partner in the Exton office of law firm Fox Rothschild, doubts they will ever amount to much.

experimenting with their own in-house version of that,” said Rober t C. McNamee, the academic director of the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Institute in Temple University’s Fox School of Business. Crowdsourcing also can be used by organizations to get freelancers to compete for projects. For example, Mycr oBurst.com of Langhor ne has a website that allows customers to source graphic-design work through contests. The customers, whom it calls Project Holders, choose the type of project, say how much they’ll pay for it, fill out a brief description of it, give feedback to designers whose initial works it likes and, after seven days, and Mark Capriotti choose the winner. MycroBurst had been a traditional graphic-design shop with designers in house, said its CEO, Zaheer Dodhia. After realizing the effect that crowdsourcing was having on its industry, Dodhia said, it adopted its current model in 2007. It now has more than 41,000 graphic designers registered with it, gets an average of 108 design submissions per contest and has awarded nearly $6 million wor th of projects, according to statistics on its website of which it recently launched French and mobile versions. “People don’t have to wait to go home and open their laptops to view the r esults that our site has generated for them,” Dodhia said. Crowdfunding seems to be the type of crowdsourcing that is generating the most interest, in par t because of the success of New York-based Kickstarter Inc., which runs a crowdfunding website where people can raise money for cr eative projects. The people who post the pr ojects get a

ReAnimator Coffee’s Mark Corpus (left) used Lucky Ant to kick off their business.

One problem, Harrington said, is that the act forbids companies fr om using crowdfunding to raise mor e than $1 million in any 12-month period. “Ever y company that actually r eally needs early-stage capital needs the ability to raise more money than that in a 12month period,” he said. Of course, a company could raise money by crowdfunding and then turn to venture capitalists for additional financing later, but that may not be feasible. Har rington said area venture firms have told him they would be reluctant to invest in a cr owdfunded company because it would have too many owners to negotiate deals with. Crowdsourcing can be used in many ways. For example, The Clor ox Co. has a site called Clor oxConnects, through which it solicits ideas from consumers, inventors, employees and companies it works with. “There are a lot of companies that ar e

certain amount of time to raise a specified amount of money; if they succeed, they get all the money; if they don’t, they get none. Like Lucky Ant, Kickstar ter is a non-equity crowdfunding site; project creators offer rewards such as seats for a play they’re trying to produce. Since its founding in 2009, people have attempted to raise money for mor e than 77,000 projects on Kickstarter’s website and have succeeded in raising $351 million for more than 32,000 of them. Fifteen projects have raised more than $1 million. Success like that has a lot of people preaching the gospel of crowdfunding. Handshake360°, which operates a networking and education platfor m for college students entrepreneurs and startups, is teaming with interactive agency Phabriq Design to of fer a program called Crowdfunding Campuses to teach colleges and their students how to use crowdfunding. “We work with the lar gest trade organizations in crowdfunding … to provide best practices to universities and colleges on the industry as a whole,” said Kevin Pr ovost, a La Salle University graduate who is Handshake360°’s founder and CEO. Handshake360° and Phabriq plan to kick off Crowdfunding Campuses with an event at the Pennsylvania Convention Center on Dec. 15 that will feature representatives from 150 universities, accor ding to Provost. Thirty-seven colleges and universities have expressed interest in the pr ogram, Provost said. pkey@bizjournals.com | 215-238-5141

of Act 129 pr ograms, it just wants to be able to spend the money on demand-r eduction as well as consumption-r eduction programs, Cathy Engel Menendez, its manager of communications, said in an email. The company has filed with the PUC a list of energy-efficiency programs it would implement or continue offering if the commission denies its request. Exelon’s stand against the wind pr oduction tax credit has earned it enemies besides environmentalists. It was thrown out of the American Wind Energy Association in August and cited as working to kill the credit in an ad by Citizens Str ength and Security Fund, one of the controversial advocacy nonprofits that don’t have to disclose their donors. The tax credit “distorts today’s competitive wholesale electric markets, causing severe financial harm to other, more reliable clean energy sources,” Paul Elsberg, an Exelon spokesman, said in an email. Exelon considers its nuclear-power plants to be clean energy sources because they don’t produce greenhouse gases, an assertion that environmentalists disagree with. They also disagree with the idea that the wind-production tax cr edit is causing lower power prices. “It’s really the … low cost of natural gas and the economic downtur n that’s really driving down the prices of wholesale electricity,” said Cour tney Lane, a senior policy analyst with PennFuture. ■

The Medicaid managed-care plans’ contracts with the state contracts mandate that the wait time to schedule an initial prenatal appointment should not exceed two weeks. The Mater nity Care Coalition’s study found the wait times on average were close to, but slightly above, that time frame.

Insurers respond

Keystone Mercy Health Plan spokeswoman Michelle Davidson said updating provider listings is a continual pr ocess, which is made more challenging in Philadelphia by the fact that the r emaining hospitals delivering babies are all tied in with training medical students. “There’s a lot of chur n (among physicians) at educational institutions,” Davidson said. “There’s also a shortage of OB/GYNs. We continue to work with the state to tr y to address the shor tage and do what we can to attract more obstetricians, midwives and nurse practitioners to help the situation. … We want [members who become pregnant] to find the best car e and get the best car e they can.” Keystone Mercy has a program called Bright Star it cr eated to help members have a healthy pregnancy. The program works with members to help them choose a doctor and get infor mation on prenatal vitamins, nutrition and even the importance of good dental care during a pregnancy. Davidson said the managed-

care company helps members get transportation to appointments, and will intervene if a member is having a dif ficult getting a timely doctor’s appointment. “There are a lot of challenges with this population,” said Dr. Eric J. Ber man, regional chief medical officer for AmeriHealth Mercy, Keystone Mercy’s parent company. “You have single moms who are having their first baby and don’t know what to expect and don’t know what is normal prenatal care. You also have higher fr equencies or pr eterm bir th in urban areas. So for them it’s normal to have little babies Berman who stay in the hospital for a few months, then come home. That’s not r eally normal. A healthy baby should be able to come home with the mom.” “One of our biggest challenges is to identify pregnant women as soon as possible, and to identify who is at risk so we can intervene,” Berman said. Berman noted doctors are supposed to fill out obstetrical neonatal assessment forms to help Medicaid managed-car e companies. Keystone Mercy provides extra compensation to doctors who submit the forms promptly. Delays occur, he said, when a pregnant woman hasn’t yet signed up for a Me dicaid plan and the doctor doesn’t know to whom to send the form. “There are gaps in the system,” Berman said.

STUDY: Wait times for prenatal-care appointments in city vary by neighborhood Baby Blocks, and another pr ogram called “Healthy First Steps” — to help pregnant women and new mothers access prenatal and well-baby care. Under Baby Blocks, available at no char ge to Medicaid beneficiaries in Pennsylvania, women who enroll in the pr ogram earn rewards for completing pr enatal, postpar tum and well-baby appointments. The rewards include discount car ds for clothing, teething rings and other related items. Mar y McElrath-Jones, a UnitedHealthcare spokeswoman, said the company has questions with the inaccuracies cited in the coal ition’s report and has reached out to the coalition to clear up any incorrect listings that may exist. “Having an up-to-date online and print provider directory is an impor tant part of making sure our members have the information they need to make informed decisions about where to go for their care,” McElrath-Jones said. “This is especially impor tant for o ur Medicaid members, where a large percentage are women in their r eproductive years, and early identification and early inter ventions are critical first steps towar d improving birth outcomes.”

Neighborhood nuances

That Maternity Care Coalition analysis found the geographic distribution of prenatal-care sites by neighbor hood is disproportionate. The bulk of the 66 sites are located in Center City, followed by North and West Philadelphia. Those areas are where the six hospitals still in the baby-deliver y business are located. The coalition fou nd five of the 12 neighborhoods that encompass the study have four or less pr enatal-care sites serving Medicaid participants, and three neighborhoods have only three sites. In addition, the study found seven of Philadelphia’s 12 sections have an average wait time of longer than two weeks, and three — upper Nor th Philadelphia, Roxborough/Manayunk, and Bridesburg/Kensington/Richmond — have an

Thall said the coalition was not surprised an ar ea of the city such as Roxborough, for example, has few prenatal-care sites given how the ar ea has lost maternity wards at City Avenue, Roxborough Memorial and Chestnut Hill hospitals. “When you look at the hospitals [still delivering babies] they are all clustered around Broad Street,” Thall said, “and the specialists tend to be cluster ed around the academic medical centers.” The coalition is working with Dr exel University’s School of Public Health and the Philadelphia Depar tment of Health on a research study to determine the prenatal capacity for the entir e city, including both commercial insurers and Medicaid insurers.

coalition’s study showed all managedcare plans need to do a better job keeping their provider network information up to date for members. “Our primary goal is to make sur e all pregnant members r eceive care in a timely manner from high-quality providers,” Caiazzo said. Caiazzo said Aetna Better Health employs monthly random sampling of the obstetrical providers in its network to check the accuracy of the information it pr ovides to members.

Denise Gallagher, vice president and general manager for Medicaid at CoventryCares, said the Pennsylvania Depar tment of Public Welfare has encouraged all managed-care organizations to increase their network of pr oviders. “Coventr yCares is steadily increasing our provider network for all specialties, with a focus on mater nity and prenatal-care providers,” she said. “We are continuously updating our provider directory so that our members know where prenatalcare services are available to them.” UnitedHealthcare last year launched two programs — an online, interactive and incentive-based pr ogram called

detailed analysis of that data is now under way. The findings ar e not expected to be available for several months. The coalition first studied pr enatalcare access in 2007. While the number of sites available for prenatal care actually increased to 66 in 2011 from 61 in 2007, and the number of individual credentialed practitioners for prenatal care rose to 148 fr om 139, the range of time women waited for an initial prenatal-care appointment increased by six days. The coalition is ur ging the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare and the five managed-care companies contracting with the state to establish a standard for provider-to-patient ratio that ensures quality care for pregnant women; assess the adequacy of the quantity and quality of sites and providers available to pregnant women receiving Medicaid in Philadelphia according to the standar d; and ensure that neighborhood access to prenatal care is proportionate and meets local need. The group also wants to see the Medicaid plans design and update their pr enatal-care provider lists to ensur e accuracy and ease of use. Einstein’s group prenatal-care program, the sessions for which ar e led by certified nurse midwife Colleen L ynch, was created through a three-year grant the health system r eceived from the Health Department. Lynch said women with low-risk pregnancies who come to Einstein’s clinic for prenatal care are told about the availability group sessions as an option. “It’s not mandator y, but we do get a good return rate for patients who come,” L ynch said. “They seem to like it and come back. I do some teaching and they also learn a lot from each other.” Thall likes the idea of the gr oup sessions as a way to increase access. “You don’t want to force everybody in to big groups to get pr enatal care,” she said, “but you need to thinking creatively how can we ser ve more people and serve them well.” ■

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Six weeks after giving birth to her first child, Katy Giefer made the short drive from her home to the Family Health and Bir th Center here in the nation’s capital. Giefer, seated in an overstuf fed couch in the bir th center’s “family room,” was back for her second postpar tum checkup and breastfeeding counseling. The 36-year-old survey statistician with the U.S. Census Bureau received a variety of r esponses from family and friends when she told them she was having her baby delivered by a midwife. “People who knew me well wer en’t surprised I wanted a natural childbirth,” Giefer said.

Oxygen and other medical supplies are discreetly tucked away. “The idea is to make the r ooms feel homelike, accessible and comfortable,” said Victoria Roberts, deputy director of Community of Hope, a nonprofit health and human services organization that assumed management of the birthing center last year. The center recently landed a $500,000 grant through the Affordable Care Act that will be used for r enovations at the site. Midwives from the center also deliver babies at W ashington Hospital Center and Childr en’s National Medical Center, both of which provide backup support to the facility and handle any complications r equiring hospitalization. The birth center has struggled financially facing the same challenges af flicting other providers of obstetrical care: soaring malpractice insurance costs and low payment rates from government insurers. Its acquisition by Community of Hope — a nonprofit organization that provides health-care, housing, educational and spiritual suppor t services for low-income, homeless, and underserved people in the District — helped stabilize the birth center. Roberts said the center has benefited fr om both Community of Hope’s infrastr ucture and its standing as a federally qualified health center. She noted the nonpr ofit organization’s human resources and billing depar tment have taken over many of the birth center’s administrative chores, while its infor mation technology staf f is working on bringing electronic medical records to the facility. In addition, she said, federally qualified health centers are not required to purchase malpractice insurance — an expense that was costing the birth center hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. “We are considered a branch of the federal government and have access to medical malpractice insurance coverage through the Federal Tort Claims Act,” Rober ts said. “Suing us is like suing the federal government.” SEE WASHINGTON, D.C., P10

Womencare pushing for birth center in Northeast Phila.

“

JOHN GEORGE SENIOR REPORTER

People are supportive of the idea.

What’s a Birth Center?

”

■ Birth Centers are facilities — freestanding or with an existing health-care system — that focus delivery of care to healthy, childbearing women and families in a home-like setting.

— Dr. Donald F. Schwarz Philadelphia Health Commissioner

■ Birth Centers are guided by principles of prevention, sensitivity, safety, appropriate medical intervention, and cost effectiveness.

JOHN GEORGE | BUSINESS JOURNAL

While the region is home to two bir th centers, neither is in Philadelphia. Womencare, a small nonprofit organization, is looking to change that. “We started about four years,” said V ivian Lowenstein, the group’s president and a nurse midwife with the Greater Philadelphia Health Action. “We grew out of an advocacy group that was trying to stop some of the closures [of maternity wards] in the region.” Philadelphia has just six general acutecare hospitals delivering babies, down from 17 in the city in 1997. “Only the larger, tertiary-care teaching hospitals [have maternity wards],” Lowenstein said. “Women in the city have little or no choice where they go.” Birthing centers are typically facilities that provide care in a more home-like environment. They are staffed by nurse-midwives and/or obstetricians who pr ovide care to pregnant women — some of whom choose to be assisted with the deliver y of their babies by doulas and coaches. Some feature birthing tubs used in water births. Dr. Donald F. Schwarz, Philadelphia’s health commissioner, said the city Health Department is exploring the idea of creating a birthing center and tying it to a new health center. “The place wher e we think it’s most needed is the Nor theast,” he said. “The need is clearly ther e and the people ar e supportive of the idea.” Schwarz said the city received a $75,000 planning grant under funding made available to cr eate and expand community health centers under the Af fordable Care Act. He was hopeful to tap into that same funding source to cover the costs for a Northeast Philadelphia center, which he estimated at $10 million to $15 million. “Our challenge is while the Pr esident put money into the Affordable Care Act for federally qualified health centers, Congress took it out,” he said. “We are hoping that money is put back in.” Other wise, Schwarz said, the Health Department will have to look elsewhere to fund the project. The American Association of Bir th Centers said the United States has 215 bir th

Nationally, the association said, the cost for a vaginal bir th with no complications averages at a birth center $2,277 compared to $8,920 at hospitals — which have far greater overhead costs. The AABC notes that if 10 per cent (400,000) of the 4 million women who give birth in the United States each year delivered their babies in bir th centers, the savings in facility fees alone would be $2.6 billion. This region is home to the Bir th Center of Bryn Mawr, which was founded in 1978 and is the oldest contin ually operational birth center in the United States. In addition, a second birth center — Valley Birthplace and Woman Care — is in Huntingdon Valley. Womencare’s goal is to establish a bir th

center as par t of a federally qualified health center that would ser ve Northeast Philadelphia, a part of the city that averages about 5,000 bir ths a year — but has no hospitals delivering babies. The access problem was exacerbated last week when Lower Bucks Hospital in Bristol, not far from Bucks County’s bor der with Nor theast Philadelphia, announced it would closing its maternity ward next year. Lowenstein said their goal is to raise $3 million to acquire property for the center, equip and cover operating costs for the first three years. “We’ve been tr ying to get the wor d out to the communities in the Northeast about the lack of ser vices,” she said. “I’m not sure if a lot of individuals know about the problem. There’s no reason for people to do anything unless it’s something that affects them or their wife or their daughter or granddaughter.”

Lowenstein said while women can usually find places to r eceive prenatal care, continuity of care is an issue. “I see women her e for prenatal care,” she said, r efer ring to the GPHA ’s Frankford Avenue Health Center in Northeast Philadelphia, “but when the end of their pregnancy comes they go to whatever hospital they can get to. They don’t know the people who ar e their delivering babies. That is a problem. [Giving birth] is a very personal experience.” Womencare believes a birthing center in the city with nurse midwifer y ser vices would lower Caesarean section rates in Philadelphia, which are at about 31.6 percent according to the last data fr om the Philadelphia Department of Health. The Birth Center in Bryn Mawr’s C-section rate is 8 per cent, while the rate is 10 percent at Valley Birthplace and Woman Care in Huntingdon Valley. Philadelphia was previously home to a maternity center, a level-1 hospital which provided care for women with low healthcare risks, on City Line Avenue. Opened as the Booth Maternity Center, the facility later changed its name to the John B. Franklin Maternity Center in honor Dr. John Franklin, a local physician who was committed to providing quality care to women and their families. The Franklin Maternity Center closed in 1987 because of a combination of inadequate reimbursement rates, a lack of outside funding support and a decline in patients using the facility. ■

In return for that pr otection, she said, the center’s health-care providers must adhere to quality per formance standards and protocols. “We’re watched ver y closely,” Roberts said, “but if I had to choose between paying [malpractice premiums] and being watched closely, I’d choose being watched closely.” The Family Health and Birth Center operates as one of three partners that together form the DC Developing Families Center. The others are the Healthy Babies Project, which provides outreach, case management and educational ser vices; and the United Planning Or ganization’s Early Childhood Development Center, which operates an infant and toddler earlychildhood education and development program on-site. Lubic, an energetic octogenarian, still works at birth center where she holds the title of president emeritus. She said a 2006 study of W ashington’s African-American female population overall found preterm birth and low bir thweight rates (babies born under 5 pounds, 8 ounces) of 15.6 percent and 14.5 percent, respectively; but just 5 percent of the African-American women ser ved by the bir th center had preterm births while only 3 percent delivered low bir thweight babies. The study also deter mined in 2006 the center generated savings of $1.6 million in medical delivery costs. “We didn’t get that money,” Lubic said.

She has long advocated for extending prenatal and perinatal car e to produce health babies. “Education should begin preconception and last at

Her second would have been bor n in the center, but she went into premature labor and the child was bor n at Washington Hospital Center.

Other patients come because they want a midwife and natural childbirth. “They come looking for an alter native to hospital delivery,” Toman said. Karen Pelote, a midwife and clinical director of the birth center, first came to the facility as a nursing student and r eturned full time in 2006 after giving birth to twins. “This isn’t always an easy place to work,” Pelote said, referring to the hours the midwives have to put in given the unpr edictable nature of deliveries. “What I enjoy is we have a diverse population of clients — from the neighborhood teenager to the Capitol Hill lady — but they all come out empowered. They walk out [after delivering their child] beaming over how well they did.” Lubic is hopeful Philadelphia will be able to open a federally qualified health center with a birthing center staffed by midwives. “I’ve been ver y concerned about Philadelphia,” she said. “Women don’t have enough choices. The hospitals ar e not functioning from the point of view of what the patients need. They ar e functioning from the point of view of what the health system needs.” ■

JEFF FUSCO

PERSONAL INFORMATION Name: Joseph A. Panebianco. Age: 43. Title: President and CEO. Company: AnnieMac Home Mortgage. Description: Mortgage banker in Mount Laurel, N.J. Number of employees: 200. Revenue in last fiscal year: $21 million. Recent project: On the verge of completing a firmwide technology initiative to enhance productivity, loan quality and data retention. Education: William Paterson University, BS in finance, summa cum laude (1994). First job: Junior portfolio manager. Little-known fact about you: I have a huge sweet tooth … especially when it comes to chocolate chip cookies. Home: Wyckoff, N.J.

BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY Essential business philosophy: No matter how cleverly conceived, a business model’s success is a function of how well your team executes it … so surround yourself with the best. Best way to keep a competitive edge: Constantly survey the playing field to see what’s changed, what’s changing or what might change and adapt. Yardstick of success: Customer satisfaction — once you’ve achieved that, profits will always follow.

Goal yet to be achieved: To become a Top 10 lender in the United States based on quality production, profitability and volume.

JUDGMENT CALLS Best decision: In 2005, we began a strategy to expand our access to credit providers and investors. In 2008, that access saved our company. Worst decision: Selling my previous company to a group ill-equipped to effectively run it. Toughest decision: Risking everything to start over again rather than walking away. Mentor: My old boss at a firm called Lord Abbett & Co. named Bob Gerber. He taught me that hard work, above all else, is the primary determinant of success.

TRUE CONFESSIONS Word that best describes you: Patient. Like best about your job: There is rarely a day that goes by where I don’t learn (or have the opportunity to learn) something new. Like least about your job: The temperature in my office … I either freeze or melt. The most important lesson you’ve learned: You learn very little from your successes. You grow primarily through failure. Life motto: I will either find a way or I will make one. Greatest fear: The day my kids think it’s no

longer cool to kiss their dad in public ... just about here, unfortunately. Person most interested in meeting: Me … 15 years older. I’d like to know how I did and what I could have done better. Company you respect most: Berkshire Hathaway. They have proven that no matter what the current fad, sticking to a fundamentally sound philosophy, although not always sexy, produces risk-adjusted outperformance on a long-term basis. First choice for a new career: Professor. Greatest extravagance: I only fly coach when there are absolutely no other options!

Buzzworthy Content: Social Media’s Secret Sauce. Noon to 1:30 p.m., Caesar Rivise Bernstein Cohen & Pokotilow, 1635 Market St., 7 Penn Center, 11th Floor, Philadelphia. Presented by Center City Proprietors Association. Cost is $10 for members, $30 for nonmembers. Visit centercityproprietors.org.

Take a reading: Where is your moral compass pointing? If you’ve been in business long enough, you’ve heard the complaint. “That price is higher than what I expected” or “I really want to work with you, but the firm down the street is a lot less expensive.” I’ve been in business more than 16 years and I’d be less than honest if I told you no one ever complained of paying too much. Even though like you, I believe our services and expertise are well worth our fees, occasionally I doubt myself. A sign of tough economic times, I had one of those moments last week. After sending a hefty invoice for a drop-everything project, I called my client ready to explain charges that she hadn’t even questioned. Imagine my surprise when she retorted: “I actually expected the bill to be much higher.” While research suggests that customers often have skewed perceptions of what you make off of them, perceptions can be understandable. When gas prices spike causing economic pain for millions, few buy the whole supply-and-demand argument but instead blame big oil companies they say have been gouging customers for years. When you order a bottle of wine at a restaurant, it typically costs three or more times as much as it would at the liquor store. Then there’s bottled water.

Perspective on People Karen Friedman The website Twilight Earth says that’s marked up 4,000 percent. The list goes on. But what about companies who unabashedly take advantage of their customers without any sense of wrongdoing? After being without power for several days when Hurricane Sandy hit, my husband and I stopped at a local convenience store to buy ice in hopes of preserving our defrosting freezer. The typical 10-pound bag was being sold at nearly double the price. When we complained, the clerk shrugged and said if you don’t want it, someone else will. It’s nothing new. Often natural disasters prompt inflated prices from people trying to make an extra buck. Let’s face facts. People need what others are selling and in times of urgency they’ll pay whatever it costs.That doesn’t make it right. There are several questions business

people should ask. First, what price are you willing to pay to dupe your customers? If they find out and leave you, is it worth it? If they stay because they still want your services, will your relationship be compromised? Perhaps it boils down to your moral compass. Are you someone who would file a phony insurance claim rationalizing that your high premium payments justify doing so at the expense of others? Or are you the person that would be outraged and report such a crook? Several years ago when my mother-inlaw died, she left a small amount of money to her grandchildren. Many months later, my sister-in-law called to tell us that because her kids were significantly older than ours, they had actually received more financial gifts over the years than ours. She didn’t think it was fair and wanted to even it out. I was surprised. Not because I ever doubted her, but because we would have never known. She didn’t have to tell us, but her moral compass pointed her toward the common good which is a lifelong relationship far more important to her than a few extra dollars. Contrast that with an unfortunate event in my own family years back. My grandmother also left a small amount of money

to her grandchildren. We didn’t learn about it until years later because a relative kept the information from us. Her moral compass pointed her elsewhere, eroding trust and creating a lifelong separation. While many families experience rifts, the business lesson is about perceptions. In today’s age of social media, all it takes is one customer to tell another who tells another and your brand is tarnished forever. Your parents probably told you “honesty is always the best policy.” Perhaps you tell your own kids the same thing. That doesn’t mean you’re a bad person if you exaggerate or tell an occasional fib. But your actions communicate your values to your customers. Warren Buffet once said, “Trust is like the air we breathe. When it’s present, nobody really notices. But when it’s absent, everybody notices.” Is the extra buck really worth the future hurdles you may have to navigate? Only your personal moral compass can tell you which direction to travel.

BUSINESS PULSE

Exciting times in the PHL – as we cool kids call the city now.

Who killed the Twinkie?

he Business Pulse Survey asked who was to blame for the demise of Twinkies and Wonder Bread maker Hostess Brands. For results, see chart. Reader comments: For management and workers to be so out of alignment with one another speaks to a sick culture. A leader’s first responsibility is to build the kind of culture where profits, share prices, stakeholder loyalty, teamwork, etc., flourish. Hostess leadership clearly didn’t do that — which is probably what prompted union action to begin with. The buck always stops with leaders. Joni Carley

When the tail (unions) wags the dog (companies) there are always major problems. Unions continue to play a significant role in the demise of companies like Hostess. Look at Amtrak with 12 unions and an ongoing annual debt of $3+ billion; the Postal Service is billions in debt. We’re long past the time when unions need to go the way of dinosaur. There are numerous government agencies with the sole purpose of protecting and upholding worker rights.

Philadelphia corruption Wow, you always knew that things like parking tickets got fixed in this town. But it’s still shocking to read the details. Maybe this will mean some serious reform. Maybe ....

Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau Kudos to Philly’s meetingpushers. We like the new image and the new tagline: “PHL: Modern Renaissance City.” Sums it up nicely!

Center City real estate It’s not a secret anymore that Philly has one of the hottest downtowns in the country. A new report shows that Center City home sales increased by 2 percent between 2011 and this year and the average sale price rose by 13 percent to nearly $550,000.

Frank Gilanelli

There needs to be a third category; the health consciousness of the consumer. It seems that all of these legacy baking companies are running into the same difficulties. So both the company is to blame for the lack of development of products that respond to the consumer, and the union for sacrificing all to the demise of the company. Carl Freedman

Consumer buying actually was not one of the problems. The biggest constraint on Hostess was the union that controls the distribution system. Union work rules forbid products like Wonder Bread and Twinkies from being combined on the same trucks going to the same stores. James F. Conway

Same problems that plague the Convention Center plague Hostess. Too many unions and too many hands in the Twinkie jar. Mike Braun

The demise of Hostess Brands Who’s to blame for the demise of Hostess Brands? The company 28% The union 72% Votes cast: 680

Dispatch from the hoagie counter

t a hoagie shop in Northeast Philadelphia, a dry erase white board greets customers with this message: “In the 1980s, we had Ronald Reagan, Steve Jobs and Bob Hope. Now, we have Obama, no jobs and no hope.” It’s a clever turn of phrase that admittedly made me chuckle, but I always have to wonder why a retailer – who depends on as much activity coming through the door as possible — would risk offending anybody. I’ll go back, because I’m nonpartisan and the bread, meats and service were unbelievably good. But some folks on the other side of the political spectrum from the shopkeeper may stay away. Who knows? That’s where we find ourselves in 2012. People loudly picking sides and proclaiming their choices from the mountaintops — or at least from the hoagie counter. One side is great; the other side is horrid. People are tribal and, thus, have always been partisan, but it’s no secret that the rise of hyperpartisan media over the last couple decades has increased the divisions. People on both sides have been pumped full of partisan rhetoric, in which the stakes are seen as so high that it’s OK — even necessary — to make potential customers feel uncomfortable when they enter your store. Thirty years ago, that kind of public display would at least be seen as unusual. Now, it’s everywhere. Partisan Internet sites and television channels are here to stay. God bless ’em. That’s their right, and the more voices in the public square the better. But we have to be careful not to get caught in the trap. It’s really up to us. Many people are lined up,

Notebook Craig Ey

ready to tell you exactly what to think. But as we enter the holiday season, the gift I think America needs most is independent thought — the ability to weigh issues on the merits rather than following a script. For businesspeople, that’s important. One-size-fitsall politics doesn’t work for most of us. The interests of big business isn’t always the same as small business. Sometimes the interests of Donald Trump and a momand-pop shop owner align, sometimes they don’t. To borrow loosely from the serenity prayer, please grant us the ideological flexbility to know the difference. A good friend of mine, a guy I grew up with and never heard utter a political comment during our entire youth together, wrote this on his Facebook page the day after the election: “We’re doomed. I’m fearful for the future of this country!” Well, I’m a little fearful, too. But I don’t think for the same reason. The good news is that exit polls are showing that young people, forever our salvation, are less partisan than their elders. They are splitting on the issues, and that’s the kind of division I can support. CRAIG EY is editor of the Philadelphia Business Journal.

The Way it Was Dell Poncet

You can’t shop early enough

t is fitting during this shopping, er, holiday season that retailing was the lead story eight years ago. The National Pastime used to be baseball, now it’s holiday shopping, which goes under various names like Doesn’t Granny KNOW I Won’t Wear This Pink Duckie Sweater Festival? or A $20 Bill IS SO a Thoughtful Gift Jubilee. Black Friday started early this year. It actually began on Shrove Tuesday (which for you nonCatholics is the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday or Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras for you party animals). The lead story in the Dec. 3-9, 2004, issue was about the opening of the beginning stages of a monster shopping center in Southwest Philadelphia: the biggest in the city. Quartermaster Plaza at 23000 W. Oregon Ave., would be 540,000 square feet and contain such rare stores as Home Depot, Staples, Verizon Wireless and Payless Shoes. If you’re like many Americans you get twitchy if you are not within eyesight of one of those stores. Fortunately, that is impossible.

Baby bust

Things aren’t great in the baby business. So many hospitals are doing away with their maternity wards you’d think women had stopped having babies and tried to hand off that chore to men who, of course, would immediately pretend there was something crucial that had to be done in the garage. As Senior Reporter John George’s current series Labor Pains shows, there are several reasons why hospitals are getting out of the baby business. Eight years ago, the situation was gestating. More than 14 suburban OB/GYN practices, led by Dr. Stephen P. Krell, were banding together to contain rising liability insurance costs in an effort they were calling the Women’s Health Care Group of Pennsylvania.

Santa, get lost

Finally, Target banned Salvation Army Santa Clauses from setting up their Red Kettle Campaign on their stores’ properties. Why, you might ask if your name wasn’t Ebenezer, would they do that? Target kind of implied that it made the decision to ban such solicitations because it would open the door for anybody with a cause and a cup to stand out front. “A Target location is a very excellent location,” said Chaz Watson of the Salvation Army.

PHILADELPHIA BUSINESS JOURNAL

About this publication

t’s almost Christmas. You can tell because there’s a snap in the air , a bell ringer outside the shopping mall, and a budget fight brewing in Congress. For cash-strapped nonprofits watching Congress hash out deficit solutions, ther e’s little cheer. If the fiscal clif f isn’t aver ted, it could mean billions in higher federal taxes, with about $22 billion coming from Pennsylvania taxpayers, according to a backof-the-envelope estimate by Matthew Knittel, director of the state’s Independent Fiscal Office. Nonprofits have seen public funding for their services decline for five years, which is why publications like this one exist. The Giving Guide is a way for nonprofits to publicize their missions and

their funding needs to Business Journal readers. In addition, corporations may sponsor full-page advertisements on behalf of charities they support. The fiscal cliff combo of tax hikes and spending cuts could be catastrophic for nonprofits. Nationally, philanthropic giving was flat last year in inflation-adjusted numbers, and now, Congress may put the charitable giving deduction — which is claimed by 80 percent of all itemizers — on the chopping block, too. At least 11 ideas for reducing the deficit have been proposed by President Obama, members of Congress, and think tanks — and all involve capping, cutting

or limiting the charitable deduction. Obama has repeatedly asked Congress to cap the charitable deduction at 28 percent for families earning more than $250,000. The Urban Institute compar ed a number of proposals last year and determined that changing the deduction could r educe charitable giving by as much as 5.4 percent — or not at all, depending on how it was altered. The nonprofit sector isn’t taking any chances. The lobbying gr oup Independent Sector is or ganizing a Day on the Hill for Dec. 4 and 5 to ur ge Congress to protect the deduction. Nearly 60 nonprofits and about 200 people from around the country will participate. Whatever may or may not happen in

Congress, a few things ar e certain. The deduction is wildly popular. Seven out of 10 Americans oppose eliminating it, according to an April 2011 Gallup poll. Even people who don’t use it or stand to benefit from it like it, and it’s equally popular among Republicans and Democrats. The charitable deduction is the only item in the tax code that rewards citizens for an unselfish act, and those citizens are responsible for three quarters of all charitable contributions. The deduction also costs the gover nment about $246 billion o ver five years, according a widely cited estimate fr om the Joint Committee on Taxation. Worth it? I think so. — Sonja Sherwood Editor, Special Publications and Social Engagement

Good causes find friends through foundations

NONPROFIT SPOTLIGHT WHAT IS YOUR DREAM DONATION?

PETER VAN ALLEN STAFF WRITER

ELLEN BARKANN president The Barkann Foundation (Newtown Square) CURT HUDSON

It’s not unusual for someone af fected by personal tragedy to set up a foundation to raise money for a related issue. Well-known foundations include the V Foundation, the cancer research fund set up in the name of former N.C. State basketball coach Jim V alvano; the Huntsman Cancer Foundation, set up by industrialist Jon M. Huntsman Sr. after the death of his mother fr om breast cancer; the Susan G. Komen Foundation, star ted by her sister , Nancy Brinker, to research breast cancer. Locally, two of the best known may be Alex’s Lemonade Stand, with the Scott family helping to raise $55 million for childhood cancer research, and a nonprofit set up by a for mer Penn State University football player, the Adam Taliaferro Foundation, which suppor ts athletes with catastrophic head or spinal injuries. Foundations are being launched to fund research, suppor t those with a particular affliction and, in par t, help sur viving loved on es work thr ough their grief. “A good friend once said that we ar e members of a club nobody wants to join,” said Dar ren Sudman, who cr eated Plymouth Meeting-based Simon’s Fund with his wife Phyllis after the 2005 death of their infant son. “We don’t want other parents to join this club. We don’t want other children to die a preventable death.” Simon died as an infant while taking a nap. His death was initially diagnosed as sudden infant death syndrome. Further testing showed that mothe r Phyllis had a hereditar y heart condition, Long QT syndr ome, that was passed on to Simon. He was one of an estimated 2,000 children who die each year from sudden cardiac arrest. Phyllis’ diagnosis may have saved her own life. But the parents also wanted to help other families avoid their own situation. Since the Sudmans founded Simon’s Fund, the foundation has helped 5,000 children get screened for potentially fatal heart conditions. They also pushed for a law in Pennsylvania that will scr een student-athletes’ hearts. The sudden cardiac arrest awareness bill was signed into law last spring, and 13 other states are considering a similar measure. In addition, Abington Memorial Hospital set up a study to screen newborns, and the foundation has set up par tnerships with the Childr en’s Hospital of

Philadelphia, St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children and Nemours A.I. duPont Hospital for Children. Earlier this month, Darren Sudman, a lawyer who has worked for AOL as well as the financial-ser vices industry, was named executive director of the foundation. “Many nonprofits are created by grieving parents, but Darren leaves his emotions at the door, and has led Simon’s Fund with entrepreneurial prowess, building the organization incrementally, success b y success,” sa id Simon’s Fund board chair Mark Koenig.

Another organization, the Kelly Anne Dolan Memorial Foundation, was named for a 6-year-old who in 1976 lost a battle with a rare form of leukemia. Her parents, Peggy and the late Joe Dolan, wanted people to know how the illness of a child can affect a family emotionally, physically and financially. They got their first taste of it while their daughter was in the old Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. “We saw kids with all kinds of pr oblems — kids who wer e burned in house fires, kids that had rar e genetic disorders. Then we star ted hearing all

the problems,” she recalled. “People whose phone or utilities wer e turned off. People who lost jobs. The disr uption of the family is huge.” She said she was particularly struck by a woman fr om Camden she knew only as Betty Jean. She had a son with cancer and in the same area of the hospital as the Dolan’s daughter. “She was there with him all day. She lost her job. She couldn’t af ford transportation just to get to the hospital. Her son was buried in a Styr ofoam casket,” Dolan said. To help other families going thr ough the same thing, the Dolans set up the foundation after Kelly’s death in 1976, though it wasn’t until 1990 that Peggy quit her job in the family printing-andpacking business in Bristol to work fulltime for the foundation. “Many people don’t realize when they set up a foundation, it’s r eally like setting up a business,” Dolan said. Since then, the or ganization has raised more than $8 million, she said. The foundation has developed a network of corporate par tners and volunteers, many of whom ar e from area companies. For instance, GMAC in For t Washington sent 24 employees as volunteers for a foundation fundraiser, the annual “wine in winter” event. The company paid employees for the hours they worked as volunteers, and also matched a donation of $2,000 earmarked for families struggling financially due to a child’s illness. For the foundation’s annual “family fun day,” Longwood Gardens hosted 400 pediatric patients and family members, treating them to a tour of the gardens, lunch and special pr ograms. To collect clothing and furniture for families in need, the Goddar d School holds annual drives. “In 1976, there was nothing like this. There was ver y, very little suppor t of this kind,” Dolan said. pvanallen@bizjournals.com | 215-238-5145

THE BARKANN FAMILY HEALING HEARTS FOUNDATION would like an elegant venue, free of charge, to hold a citywide gala on or around Sept. 11 each year. What better way to continue to heal the hearts of our country, than to hold a gala in the very city where freedom was born, on a date which symbolizes the biggest threat to that freedom that we have ever faced as a nation. Also, it wouldn’t hurt to have Philadelphia native Bradley Cooper attend and to tweet about the event once a week!

PAWS is the city’s largest no-kill shelter and operates a high-volume, low-cost clinic serving pet owners and rescue organizations that lack access to affordable basic veterinary care. Through its adoption locations, special events and foster care network, PAWS finds loving homes for thousands of pets each year. Our dream donation would be buildings to house several more locations, outfitted as both adoption centers and wellness clinics. Each location would allow us to service more than 12,000 owned and rescued animals each year and save the lives of an additional 2,000 animals coming out of the city’s animal control system.”

Q&A|’Tis better to give

PHILADELPHIA BUSINESS JOURNAL

NONPROFIT SPOTLIGHT WHAT IS YOUR DREAM DONATION?

Eileen Heisman | President and CEO | National Philanthropic Trust Money has a way of finding Eileen Heisman, president and CEO of National Philanthropic Trust (NPT), the Jenkintown-based nonprofit that has for 16 years managed donor-advised funds. After an early career in politics, working for both Joan and Arlen Specter, the Hatboro-Horsham High alum got into charitable fundraising when someone suggested she’d be pretty good at it. After 10

years in lo cal development, s he joined the nascent NPT in 1996, becoming CEO by 1998. In its histor y, NPT has raised some $2.6 billion and is one of the 35 top grant makers in the countr y. With the end of the year approaching, and tax code and charitable deduction uncer tainty ahead, Philadelphia Business Journal asked Heisman to share her tips for smart giving. — Brian Howard

Q: What is a donor-advised fund? Donor-advised funds, which is what we do at National Philanthr opic Trust, are the most popular for m of giving. Donoradvised funds are like charitable savings accounts, and they’re housed inside a bigger charity. … Usually within a day you can open one. You fill out a form and then usually name it after yourself or family . You pick an investment strategy, then you decide what asset you’r e going to put in there — the most common assets ar e cash or appreciated securities. The charity invests the asset according to the strategy recommended, and then you can start making grants to charities you’re interested in. … The r eason it’s so popular is you can do a lot of the work online, and you don’t have to file taxes yourself or keep track of the donations — the charity that manages it does all of that for you. Q: In addition to the Bush tax cuts that are set to expire in 2013 and the impending “fiscal cliff,” there is a lot of uncertainty about the futur e of charitable deductions. Might charities experience a windfall effect? Most people I know that ar e planning are thinking, “Maybe I should fr ont-load and make a lot of gifts by the end of this calendar year, because I’m not sur e what’s going to happen next year.” … It’s really hard to know, until we star t counting all the donations at the end of the year, how people are really behaving. … I really would hope that ther e are other ways to address the budget ills than on the backs of charities. I think it’s an odd way to approach the problem. I think the social needs are high right now, and the government doesn’t want to take over all the things that charities do to provide social services — and I don’t think they can. Q: Is it better to give many smaller donations or a few larger ones? I always recommend people give fewer larger donations. You’re more likely to have an impact with, say, a $1,000 gift than a $100 dollar gift. … Spreading lots of small gifts ar ound is nice, but I think that it’s smarter and more strategic to give fewer larger gifts. … It also for ces you to think about what’s really important to you. Q: You recommend giving consistently to the same charities each year. Why is that a good idea?

I think you should stick with [an organization] for three to five years, because it costs a lot of money to raise money, and if you are fickle and change fr om year to year, it forces the charities ever y year to find new donors to r eplace the money you’re giving somewhere else. I always say: Think carefully where you want to give, give as lar ge as you can, and stick with them. … It actually r educes overhead for the char ities. Overhead is the hardest thing for charities to raise, so if you really love the charity, give them an unrestricted gift; don’t limit it to a project. Q: There are good causes popping up all the time. Do you have any wisdom about giving to established vs. upstart organizations? People tend to give to the safety charities in their lives, which ar e usually their place of worship and their alma mater . And I think those are important organizations to support. I also encourage people to take some risks with their money . Emerging charities can r eally go to important community issues. AIDS or ganizations emerged 20 years ago, and women’s organizations 35 years ago wer e considered pretty fringe. There are always emerging issues, [today you have] green initiatives and sustainability. … Look at 10 or 20 percent of what you want to give away and say, “Let me take a little bit of a risk with it.” Because some those issues are here to stay, and that early money makes it easier for them to figur e out how to operate and solve problems. Q: What criteria should givers use to evaluate the return on investment, if you will, of their donations? A lot of people think the r eturn on investment in charities is exactly like it is on the stock market, but it couldn’t be more different. You’re dealing with social problems, not widgets. You’re dealing with social ills, the impact of disease. And so the return on investment, depending on the problem you’re looking to solve, can be totally different. …In the short run you can look to see who’s on the board, you can look at their financials. I would not use over head [costs] vs. pr ogram [spending] as the only criteria. … One of my favorite examples is, if you’r e going to send lower-income kids to ar ts performances and to the museum, do you see immediately a benefit to that? No. But does that mean you should stop fund-

SKIP WIENER executive director Urban Tree Connection (West Philadelphia)

ing that? …Another thing that’s really important is output vs. outcome. Y ou can measure output easily. You can say 100 kids have gotten fr ee tickets to see a show at the Ar den Theater. But the outcome is that in 20 years, those kids ar e going to be better citizens. Q: We’re hearing more about “conspicuous giving.” What is it? And how is it impacting individual giving and charities? I think that people in high-pr ofile positions — par ticularly celebrities and athletes — will sometimes give in a way to up their profile or make them look like good citizens. In many cases, that’s probably true. But in some cases it’s mor e clever. It’s more calculating, I guess. Conspicuous giving is, in my estimation, when people are giving because they’re using it as a way to brand themselves. I think you have to be car eful, if you’re the general public, about figuring out whether [the generosity] is coming fr om their hear t and whether is it coming as a brandi ng opportunity. But celebrities have been giving for years. Danny Thomas was a comedian and he started St. Jude’s [Children’s Research Hospital in 1962], and Audrey Hepburn worked with UNICEF charities, so what Angelina Jolie does now, [Hepburn] did many years ago. Celebrities have been suppor ting charities for years and years. It’s pretty common, it’s been around for a long time, but I think because of social media, we see it more and more. People need to look at it with a critical eye. Q: Along those lines, how does a charitable or ganization like the Livestrong Foundation cope with the sudden deterioration of Lance Ar mstrong’s reputation? Time is going to tell on that. If the board leadership can continue to attract funds and the charity is doing good work, the fact that Lance Ar mstrong created it when his reputation was dif ferent than it is now may not be a long-ter m problem. But it might. … Pr obably within a year we’ll know what the horizon is going to look like. If contributions start to plummet, it will either change into something else or go out of business. It’s such a sad thing — the good of that charity isn’t necessarily [about] his character, but it gets tied to it because of the nature of what celebrities do in our culture. ■

“MY DREAM DONATION involves one large eco-village. We have created a community farm on a Haddington acre surrounded by 60 houses. Two of these houses are abandoned and falling into ruin. My knights in shining armor would press the magic button and the city would turn these homes over to our nonprofit. Then a cavalry of knights with shiny hammers and saws would appear to help restore these houses. Neighborhood Foods coop workshare members would then occupy these homes, continuing to build upon our food production and distribution programs in Haddington.”

What do you want to do with your money? Writing down your goals and talking them over with your parents are great ﬁrst steps in creating a ﬁnancial plan.

Follow a budget, and remember: there’s a difference between what you need and what you want.

Open a savings account and plan to make a deposit each month.

Consider starting your own business to earn extra cash. Raking leaves or cleaning garages for neighbors might be a good start to building your ﬁnancial plan.

Don’t forget to “share the wealth” with those in need.

WHAT IS THE SIGN OF A GOOD D E CI SI O N? ®

It’s knowing what you teach them today will help them build a secure tomorrow. Learning about finances at an early age can help children build a strong financial future. In this economy, more families are being faced with some kind of financial setback such as loss of employment, children’s college education savings being compromised to pay bills or having to work longer to save for retirement. At First Financial Group, we know how critical it is to educate your children on learning the importance of finances at an early age so that they can feel confident about their financial future. That is why we are proud to work with the Please Touch Museum and their financial literacy programs. Learn more about how to educate your children today so they can make good financial decisions.

Gifts may be in honor of or in memory of your loved one. Gifts may be made for

Alzheimer’s disease and educating others about the importance of early detection. Companies and organizations may enroll into the program either as a Member or a Champion. Both AEDA Members and Champions have access to an online toolkit which contains educational materials such as brochures, posters, widgets and other valuable communication pieces. All of the materials are customizable and can be branded by each company. AEDA Members and Champions also receive
