‘Under Construction’: Center for Urban Families - Baltimore, Maryland

February 24, 2014

Under Construction is a multimedia online exhibit showcasing some of the best and brightest organizations working with males of color. The UC team of filmmakers, photographers, writers, and nonprofit experts worked directly with each of these organizations for several weeks. The collaborations yielded comprehensive portraits of the services men of color receive. Each profile features a short video, a photography exhibit, a visual program model, and a narrative essay detailing the efforts of these organizations.

New Video: Share Your Wealth of Knowledge

New video: Share your wealth of knowledge

We know you're not engaged in philanthropy merely to generate web traffic or Twitter followers, but we hope this video will help convince you that sharing information about your foundation through multiple channels will increase the impact of your work--and expand your legacy.

Will you pull down the fences around philanthropy and share your knowledge? As the video says: when you trade isolation for communication, you can find new opportunities to do good.

PND Talk: Burned out and don't know what to do

Long-time readers of Philanthropy News Digest may remember PND Talk, the message board we launched back in 2004 and maintained for the better part of a decade (until the launch of our new site in November).

During its heyday, PND Talk was a lively community frequented by a regular cast of generous, knowledgeable nonprofit professionals — people like Susan Lynn, Sheryl Kaplan, Rick Kosinski, Julie Rodda, Tony Poderis, and the late (and much missed) Carl Richardson and Linda Procopio.

‘Fatal Assistance’: The Promise and Failure of Humanitarian Aid in Haiti - PhilanTopic | PND | Foundation Center

Fatal Assistance, a new documentary by Haitian-born filmmaker Raoul Peck, provides a personal account of what happened in the weeks and months after the quake struck and, at the same time, is a plea for a more effective approach to humanitarian assistance in developing countries. Completed in 2013, the film premiered last year at Berlinale, the Berlin international film festival, and has been shown as part of the 2014 Human Rights Film Festival screening in cities across the U.S.

The requested deliverables in the agreement generally include:

status update on the organization and program being funded;

progress on stated objectives and measures of success that were previously submitted;

annual or biannual budget reports and financial information (depending on the organization); and

projected dates and payment amounts.

Fundamentally, the foundation and grantee must reach a shared understanding on numerous items in order to agree on the terms and conditions of a grant award and payments. This understanding includes steps and a timeline for grant implementation; funds needed to support the implementation steps; monitoring activities; evaluation (and the expense associated with it); and other items.
