You've just been handed $15K to give away . . .

That's the philanthropic embarrassment of riches faced annually by current and former members of the Gannett Management Committee, which includes CEO Craig Dubow and the rest of the top brass. Each year, they can earmark $15,000 of the company's charitable money for a good cause anywhere in the nation, including dozens of communities where GCI does business.

What did they do last year? Find out tomorrow, in the annual Gannett Blog Christmastime Cavalcade of Gannett Foundation spending -- now, with more spreadsheets! You'll learn which executives were naughty, and which were, well . . . which were less naughty.

Plus: One fashionable investment cost the foundation nearly $62,000 in losses last year. (No: It wasn't GCI stock!) And how did hundreds of clever employees steer $90,000 in company money toward the Cincinnati Institute of Fine Arts?
