The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) supports global efforts that are an essential component of promoting health through the control and prevention of disease in the United States and abroad, including the rapid detection and response to emerging health threats. CDC cannot accomplish these efforts alone and seeks to further its work through partnerships with other organizations that have a diverse and varied experience and expertise in global health. The Center for Global Health (CGH) seeks to collaborate with international Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO’s) in public–private partnerships. Working with NGO’s with strong international presence and proven experience will leverage existing resources to more efficiently achieve health goals.

Articles



As its title implies, Don scours the Internet for new grant opportunities that you might not learn of from any other source in such a timely manner. Headlines, brief descriptions of articles, and links to articles are compiled by Don. The focus is on information about grants, grant writing, management, human resources, data and resources for leaders of nonprofit, nongovernmental, community-based and faith-based organizations, educators and government. Don Griesmann's Grant Opportunities™ is founded and edited by Don Griesmann, Esq., and published by CharityChannel LLC. It is available here, directly on the CharityChannel
website.



While there are plenty of sources of technical information, few discuss the challenges that are unique to nonprofit organizations and institutions from the perspective of those who are operating and advising these organizations. E-Philanthropy and Technology Review™ particularly focuses on the use of technology in fund development, but also explores technology challenges faced in other facets of nonprofit organizations, such as management, accounting, and governance.



The thousands of grant writers and funders who are members of CharityChannel have contributed hundreds of articles to Grants and Foundations Review™ over the years. Articles cover all facets of grantsmanship, and tackle just about every topic imaginable.



Nonprofit organizations and institutions know that the largest category of support comes form private charitable contributions. Major Gifts and Planned Giving Review™ focuses on large gifts from individual donors, from two perspectives. Articles examine the creation, challenges, opportunities and best practices of fund development programs. They also examine the structuring of gifts to meet the goals, desires and needs of the donor as well as the organization and institution. Thus, both the management of fund development programs and the gift structure are covered. Articles are predominantly from the US context, though colleagues from other countries will find much of interest as well.



If a nonprofit organization is to prosper, it must have great clarity about best practices in governance — and have the courage and determination to follow such practices. The original articles contributed to Nonprofit Boards and Governance Review™ address the very real challenges faced by nonprofit organizations and their boards, and collectively comprise a remarkable collection of wisdom and best practices.

 




Few endeavors are so rewarding as consulting to nonprofit organizations and institutions. Yet the reality is that consulting, especially in the beginning, is especially challenging. Original articles contributed to Nonprofit Consulting Review™ are written by nonprofit-sector consultants for their colleagues who either consult, or are seriously considering making the leap. Topics cover a broad range of challenges, such as billing, ethics, marketing, running one's consulting office, and much more.



The effective management of volunteers is critical to leveraging these essential strategic resources by nonprofit organizations and institutions, yet is often relegated to second-thought status by senior managers and boards. The original articles contributed to Volunteer Management Review™ by in-the-trenches CharityChannel colleagues collectively provide the best practices for volunteer resources management.



We send the latest nonprofit-sector books to carefully-selected members of the We Review™ Contributors Panel. After reading the book, the contributor pens a review that's down-to-earth and practical. When you read a book review published by We Review, you know that it's been reviewed by a colleague who's well qualified and experienced in the topic of the book. CharityChannel is particularly supportive of members who publish books, often becoming the first choice of an author to submit a new book for a review. One of the particularly valuable things is that most of the books' authors are, or become after learning of the review, members of CharityChannel — and are active on the forums. Often a new book will be discussed with the author on the forums.
