Our Grantmaking Program made $287,500 in grants for environmental causes in 2010, supporting the work of 24 organizations. Our largest grants of $25,000 each were awarded to EarthCorps, an AmeriCorps affiliate that provides one-year intensive programs for young adults to learn best practices in conservation techniques and develop leadership skills, and to Washington Trails Association, which focuses on wilderness trail preservation. Our fundholders invested $5.4 million in environmental programs through their own grantmaking. As in every area of community need, we continue to see the volume of grant requests grow. We’re fortunate that our fundholders’ interest in environmental issues is also increasing. A high priority for us in 2011 is to expand our partnering program so that fundholders have more opportunities to consider requests made within their areas of interest.

  • 3.4 Million Farming Families Receive Legal Access to Land in Rural China, India
    PRESS RELEASE December 20, 2011 Contact: Rena Singer [email protected] Tel: (206) 257-6136 3.4 million farming families receive legal access to land in rural China, India Landesa’s model of partnering with governments helps scale programs that provide land ownership opportunities for the world’s rural poor SEATTLE –Landesa, which works with governments and local NGOs to create laws, policies, and programs that provide secure land rights for the world’s poorest, reported today in its 2011 Fiscal Year Annual Report that its partnerships in India and China over the last year helped more than 3.4 million farming families receive secure rights to their land, providing these families with a foundation to escape extreme poverty and build a better future. “Our latest numbers demonstrate that broad-based efforts to strengthen land rights and alleviate rural poverty are most effective when governments are a central part of the equation,” said Tim Hanstad, president and CEO of Landesa, which recently won the prestigious Skoll Award for Social Entrepreneurship for its focus on citizen-driven change. “Many of our largest funding partners, including the Omidyar Network and The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, recognize the immense value of a policy-based approach in achieving long-term, structural change.” Since its inception 46 years ago, Landesa has partnered with governments on reforms that have helped more than 109 million families gain secure rights to land and the opportunity for a better life. Each of its programs is rooted in the basic idea that the world’s rural poor share two traits: they depend on agriculture to survive, but lack secure rights to the land they till.

    Agricultural Value Added Services (Agri VAS): Market Entry Toolkit Authors: Amol Jadhav, Natalia Pshenichnaya and Fiona Smith, GSMA mAgri Programme. Contents 3—4 Introduction 5—9 Chapter 1 Market Opportunity 10—16 Chapter 2 Market Assessment and User Needs 17—21 Chapter 3 Marketing 22—30 Chapter 4 Service Design 31—38 Chapter 5 Commercial Model and Business Case for Agri VAS 39 Glossary GSMA — mAgri Programme 3 Market Entry Toolkit - Agri VAS Introduction The furious growth of mobile in developing countries, and rural regions in particular, presents a landmark opportunity to deliver critical, information-based agricultural services to rural poor smallholder farmers. There are over 2.3 billion people living in poverty and the majority earn their primary livelihood from small farms in developing countries. The yields of these farmers, especially those in sub-Saharan Africa, typically represent a fifth of those in the developed world. There is a raft of reasons for this, one of which is a lack of access to relevant and actionable agricultural information. Yet this problem is eminently superable. The right information, absorbed and applied correctly, can double or triple productivity in many of these households. Mobile is the leapfrog technology that allows us to complement existing extension efforts by stepping up and meeting this information need. About the Authors This document was written by members of the GSMA mAgri Programme. The GSM Association represents the interests of mobile operators worldwide and within this, the GSMA Development Fund works to identify opportunities in emerging markets for social, economic and environmental impact through mobile services.

The Seattle Foundation’s commitment to building a healthy community for all King County residents remains as strong as ever. In 2008, with our donors, we granted more than $63 million to over 2000 organizations and promising initiatives in King County and beyond. Though our assets declined like most investments nationwide, The Seattle Foundation’s portfolio performed well when benchmarked against comparable endowments. In the longer term, The Seattle Foundation has outperformed portfolios comprised of traditional stocks and bonds due to prudent and responsible stewardship of charitable funds that has been the basis of our investment strategy for decades. The Seattle Foundation is also leading efforts to respond to increasing need in our community. Late last year The Seattle Foundation joined forces with the United Way of King County and other local funders to create the Building Resilience Fund—a three-year, $6 million effort to help local people who have been hardest hit by the economic downturn. Through this fund, we are bolstering the capacity of selected nonprofits to meet increasing basic needs and providing a network of services to put people on the road on self-reliance.

  • Slovenia Have Been Remarkable
    Mrak/Rojec/Silva-Jáur lovenia’s achievements over the past several years Slovenia have been remarkable. Thirteen years after Public Disclosure Authorized independence from the former Socialist Federative egui Republic of Yugoslavia, the country is among the most advanced of all the transition economies in Central and Eastern Europe and a leading candidate for accession to the European Union Sin May 2004. Remarkably, however, very little has been published Slovenia documenting this historic transition. Fr om Y In the only book of its kind, the contributors—many of them the architects of Slovenia’s current transformation—analyze the country’s three-fold ugoslavia to the Eur transition from a socialist to a market economy, from a regionally based to a national economy, and from being a part of the Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia to being an independent state and a member of the European Union (EU). With chapters from Slovenia’s president, a former vice prime minister, Public Disclosure Authorized the current and previous ministers of finance, the minister of European affairs, the current and former governors of the Bank of Slovenia, as well as from leading development scholars in Slovenia and abroad, this unique opean Union collection synthesizes Slovenia’s recent socioeconomic and political history and assesses the challenges ahead. Contributors discuss the Slovenian style of socioeconomic transformation, analyze Slovenia’s quest for EU membership, and place Slovenia’s transition within the context of the broader transition process taking place in Central and Eastern Europe. Of interest to development practitioners and to students and scholars of the region, Slovenia: From Yugoslavia to the European Union is a From Yugoslavia comprehensive and illuminating study of one country’s path to political and economic independence.

Acknowledgments I was sitting in the pew listening to the pastor quote Woody Allen—“Half of life is showing up.” He went on to talk about how in life we have dreams and ambitions, and sometimes we feel like we are failing to meet these aspirations and wonder if we are meeting the expectations for those who depend on us (sermon 5-29-2011). He said, “‘Half of life is showing up,’ and God provides the other half.” His advice to us was just show up and quit worrying. The people I have to thank have done more than show up. They have impacted my life in ways they will never know. I thank God for getting me through this program and sending these special angels into my life. Let me start with my kids who have learned to wash clothes, cook, and understand my own version of what we call phone sign language—codes for I am talking if you are not on fire or bleeding go away and come back when I am off the phone.
