    CF financial model is broken. Like newspapers, CFS face same death spiral as online options change the very meaning of community.#philchat

    Most CF brick and mortar models cost more than online options. Many donors don’t value our advice to pay what it costs to provide.#philchat

  17. Emmett Carson began the debate as part of his discussion during the Council's Fall Conference in San Francisco, September 19-21.
  18. COF_
    Today’s #PhilChat topic was born out of @EmmettCarson ‘s comments at #COFSF, question if CF business model is broken?

    agree w/ @emmettcarson that CF's may be in peril. unsustainable model, esp. 4 those w/ geographic affiliates (more & more common). #philchat
