New Report Making Waves in the Global Health Community

A new report is out by a coalition of international health groups and advocacy organizations working across a spectrum of global health issues. The report, The Future of Global Health: Ingredients for a Bold and Effective U.S. Initiative, details how major accomplishments in global health over the last decade demonstrate that adequately resourced programs, focused on achieving specific results, can improve health outcomes for millions and support economic progress. It also highlights that distinct public health challenges are closely interconnected and that a comprehensive and integrated strategy is needed to ensure that ambitious health goals are met.

Your Children Are Safe

About a year ago, a fundraising professional from New York went on an unexpected site visit to a childrens’ home. She was completely blown away by the achievements of the nonprofit and she made a spur of the moment $1,000 donation that day. Several months later four hurricanes ravaged the area where the nonprofit was located. Not long after that she received an e-mail from the nonprofit’s executive director. Find out what the letter said and the fundraising lessons it had inside for all of us.

New Activist Orientation

On the heels of the National Outreach meetings, our latest new activist orientation is underway. We are excited to welcome a new batch of enthusiastic partners into the fold. The orientation is an enhanced review of our Basics tracks plus some community building. These orientations happen quarterly, but it is essential that your new activists are working through the Basics tracks with group leaders now if they aren't participating in the orientation. This way, new folks can get up to speed and stay engaged. Visit our New Activist page for more information and resources. It will hold audio recordings of our orientation series plus our primary Basics tracks. For additional information, contact Lisa Marchal.
