Increasing healthcare and capacaity to serve

Category: Health
Available from: Baxter Internation Foundation
Deadlines: 13th Apr, 13th Jul & 29th Sep 2010

The Baxter International Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Baxter International Inc., helps organizations increase access to healthcare around the world. The Baxter International Foundation focuses many of its grants on helping agencies increase their capacity to serve. One of the most common ways to expand capacity is staffing. Many agencies improve access to care by hiring nurses or nurse practitioners to provide basic primary care. Others hire physical therapists to enable them to provide much needed services to people with disabilities, or other specialists to serve women and children experiencing domestic violence, child abuse, or people with other special health needs. Some organizations train existing staff in specific treatments or techniques to allow them to reach increased numbers of people with the most effective and up-to-date interventions.

Stimulating job creation and improving incomes for the poor

Category: Human Services | Agriculture
Available from: Gatsby Charitable Foundation
Deadline: Various

Gatsby has been funding and implementing programmes in Africa since the 1980s with the overall objective of stimulating job creation and improving incomes for the poor. Programmes have focused mostly on two key areas: disseminating agricultural research to small-holder farmers, and providing assistance to small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

Gatsby generally makes grants totalling £6 million per year, principally in East Africa. These grants are managed both from London and through six local institutions that Gatsby helped set-up: the Kilimo Trust African Agricultural Capital, and four country trusts in Cameroun, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. Programmes range in scale from grassroots micro-finance initiatives to forestry projects spanning East Africa.

Looking forward, the Trustees have decided to shift their strategic focus toward a small number of large and ambitious sector development programmes across East Africa that have the potential to transform the lives of large numbers of the poor.

Research: Online Fundraising - is it working?

The internet was expected to transform charity fundraising in much the same way as it changed world communications. But the revolution is a slow burner, as Kaye Wiggins reports
For a medium that was expected to revolutionise fundraising, the internet has so far failed to prove its worth as a money-spinner. On average, only 2 per cent of charities’ total voluntary income came from online fundraising in 2007, according to The 21st Century Donor, a report by research agency nfpSynergy.
Since the internet was created, we have heard talk of a revolution in giving, says the report. We do not believe that revolution has come, and we do not believe it ever will.
Joe Saxton, co-founder of nfpSynergy, stands by the comments in the 2007 report. People thought charities would do away with other fundraising techniques and do it all online, he says. But it’s clear now that it isn’t going to happen.

Website: Directory of Social Change launches new service

Just two weeks after the Directory of Social Change took ownership of GuideStar, a new service has been launched.
The Funder’s Snapshot from GuideStar Data Services helps funders get a quick and simple update in their field of giving so they can be smarter and more proactive in directing their funds.

Drawing on the most detailed repository of data on English and Welsh charities, the Snapshot offers a bespoke report on charities eligible for funding and helps funders decide:
- Are there enough qualifying charities who could receive our donations?
- Are they doing the kind of work that matches our funding objectives?
- Are they already sufficiently funded by others?

Graham Leigh Director of Development at the Directory of Social Change (DSC) believes it offers a valuable resource for funders.

“We want to help funders make their giving as impactful as it can possibly be. This means working with them to take the most detailed information available and turn it into a meaningful report. It will save them time, keep them up-to-date and help target money to where it’s most needed. The GuideStar database holds more detail on charities’ activities than anywhere else. There’s enormous potential but we need to unlock it. We’re going to launch a number of new products in the coming months and we’ll be asking customers to help us to refine and develop them.”

The Funders Snapshot is available via the Directory of Social Change website www.dsc.org.uk/Services/DataforGrantmakers

Social media helps DEC raise £3 million in one week

The Disasters Emergency Committee has acknowledged that social media has contributed significantly to the income it has raised for its current appeal.
In the first week of the DEC's appeal for Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam, over £3 million was donated,
over £1 million which was given in the first 24 hours.
BBC websites have been the most significant online referrer to the DEC donations page, but Twitter, which the DEC only started using on 2 October, was the second most important. Facebook, which the charity had previously used very little, was the third largest source of traffic.
The appeal for emergency aid for the hundreds of thousands of people affected by the earthquakes, typhoons, floods, and landslides in East Asia was championed early on by Twitter users Sarah Brown and Stephen Fry who, between them, have more than 1.5 million followers.
@Stephenfry wrote at 13:35 on 4 October: "Do see if you can find it in your heart support the DEC Disasters Appeal for Indonesia, Philippines & Vietnam - donate now at www.dec.org.uk "
@Sarahbrown10 wrote at 20:33 on 6 October: "RT @decappeal - Big international call to support #DEC disasters appeal: www.dec.org.uk Help them make a difference!"
DEC were able to take advantage of the almost instant impact of social media by opening its phone lines and website for donations on Sunday 4 October ahead of the main appeals broadcast on Tuesday 6 October. DEC also uses Flickr and YouTube

In the Arts: Actors Jackman and Craig Help Set Fund-Raising Record

With its movie-star leads of Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig making nightly curtain-call
appeals, the Broadway drama “A Steady Rain” set a fund-raising record for
Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, Playbill.com reports.
The stage charity announced that during the show’s six-week run, Mr. Jackman and Mr. Craig raised $1.55-million in the organization’s annual Gypsy of the Year competition, the most ever for a single production. In all, the group raised $4.63-million from the event.
In other arts news, many New Jersey arts organizations are struggling to cover their bills after learning this week that the state has frozen more than $10-million in cultural grants approved last summer, writes The Star-Ledger.
Also, the Smithsonian Institution will pay $233,000 to an employee who was exposed to asbestos during his 28-year tenure at the National Air and Space Museum, says The Washington Post. The organization will also pay some health-insurance costs for Richard Pullman, who sued the Smithsonian after being diagnosed with an asbestos-related lung disease.
And California tax authorities have ruled that specialized license plates issued by the California Arts Council are tax-deductible, a decision the grant-making group hopes will help its fund raising, according to the Los Angeles Times. Buyers will be able to deduct the cost difference between the specialty plates and normal state tags as a charitable contribution.
