  • Community Foundations and International Giving
    COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS AND INTERNATIONAL GIVING OPPORTUNITIES FOR GLOBAL ENGAGEMENT MAY 2006 (REVISED OCTOBER 2006) PAULA D. JOHNSON STEPHEN P. JOHNSON THE PHILANTHROPIC INITIATIVE, INC. DEVELOPED WITH SUPPORT FROM THE CHARLES STEWART MOTT FOUNDATION PREFACE In October 2005, the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation generously gave its support to an initiative to explore the current and future role of U.S. community foundations in international grantmaking. The initiative sought (1) to examine the ways in which U.S. community foundations are currently involved in international giving, and (2) to begin to identify the resources and strategies needed to strengthen the capacity of community foundations to respond to their donors’ interests in global giving. More broadly, the meeting explored the evolving role of community foundations in an increasingly global world. In February 2006, 14 leaders from community foundations and other philanthropic organizations came together in Chicago to share their perspectives, experience, and insights on this issue. The meeting provided an important opportunity to reflect on the benefit and potential for community foundations to engage further in global issues and global giving. These themes were further explored through conversations with other thoughtful commentators from the community foundation and global giving sectors. The initiative was developed and coordinated by The Philanthropic Initiative, Inc. Peter Hero, President of Community Foundation Silicon Valley, and Adele Simmons, President of the Global Philanthropy Partnership, served as advisors to the initiative. This report attempts to capture the ideas generated in these conversations. The discussions were spirited and thoughtful, and the ideas and opportunities they produced are both diverse and creative.

    Wimer 1970 VOL. XXXVIII No. I VERMONT History The 'PROCEEDINGS of the VERMONT HISTORICAL SOCIETY Smuggling into Canada; How the Champlain Valley Defied Jefferson's Embargo by H. N. MULLER HEN Britain resumed open hostilities against France in 1803, the W relative tranquillity of Anglo-American relations was among the first casualties. By 1805, after Napoleon's success at AusterlilZ and Nel­ son's decisive victory at Trafalgar, the contest became a stalemate. With the French dominating the Continent and the British the sea, neither side could afford to observe the amenities of neutral rights. Britain took steps to close the loop-holes by which American merchantmen evaded the notorious orders-in-eouncil. and her navy renewed in earnest its harassing and degrading practice of impressing American citizens. III feeling and tension mounted as Anglo-American relations disinte­ grated. Then in late June 1807 tbe British frigate uopard fired on the United States Frigate Chesapeake, killing three American seamen and wounding eighteen others, and a party from the Leopard boarded the American warship and removed four alleged British deserters. The Chesapeake affair precipitated an ugly crisis. Americans, now more united in hostility toward Britain than at any time since the Revolution, demanded action from their government.l President Thomas Jefferson responded with the Embargo Act, hastily pushed through a special session of Congress and signed in December 1807. Jefferson held the illusory hope that by withholding its produce and its merchant marine, tbe United States would forcc Britain and c"en I. Burl. Th~ Uniud S/a'~.

Within biophysical regions, the places are listed more or less north-to-south and by county. This list T includes all the places to visit that are mentioned in the natural community profiles, plus several more to round out an exploration of each biophysical region. The list of natural communities at each site is not exhaustive; only the communities that are especially well-expressed at that site are listed. Most of the natural communities listed are easily accessible at the site, though only rarely will they be indicated on trail maps or brochures. You, the naturalist, will need to do the sleuthing to find out where they are. Use topographic maps and aerial photographs if you can get them.
