2021 Better Data, Better Decisions, Better World Campaign 2021 Better Data, Better Decisions, Better World Campaign Participating foundations commit to: — Update the foundation’s GuideStar profile — Encourage applicants and grantees to reach Gold Seal of Transparency and complete the Demographic Survey on their GuideStar profile — Regularly share grants data with Candid 2021 Better Data, Better Decisions, Better World Campaign Purpose Candid, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit created through the combination of Foundation Center and GuideStar, gets you the information you need to do good. In pursuing its mission, Candid maintains a searchable database of nonprofit and foundation profiles on guidestar.org (aka GuideStar profiles) based on publicly available information. But a tax filing alone is not enough to answer your questions and the questions asked in our sector. If we want to be data-driven, relevant and responsive, we must have better information on which we can all rely–and it starts with organizations having a current GuideStar profile with in-depth, up-to-date information, recognized via a Seal of Transparency. Organizations can earn GuideStar Seals of Transparency and tell their full story on their profile by adding specific information about their programs such as measures of progress, operations–including diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) information—and financials. We need your help. Ask your potential and current grantees to claim their GuideStar profile and earn a Gold Seal of Transparency. By asking your grantees, you are advocating to increase and enrich sector-wide information about nonprofits–who they are, what they do, and why it matters. You are also ensuring better information for your organization in a way that is efficient and beneficial for the organizations that participate. Best of all, it’s free for anyone to participate and you will receive demographic data on your grantees from us at no charge. To make it easy, Candid assembled the assets you’ll need, including template text and links to resources. Best Practice: Keep it simple and link directly to Candid’s webpages for information on Seals of Transparency and GuideStar Profiles. We keep this content up to date so you can easily find the details. 2021 Candid Data Campaign | May 2021| 1 2021 Campaign Timeline June-July 2021: Lead by Example Participating funders claim and update their GuideStar profile by completing: — Gold Seal of Transparency requirements — Demographic survey July-December 2021: Outreach to Nonprofits Participating funders communicate with nonprofits to explain how they will incorporate the nonprofits’ Gold Seal of Transparency and demographic survey information into their grant guidelines.

The monthly report (free) Candid will provide participating funders with free access to the demographic data they are helping to collect via an Excel file that will be available online. Candid will update the file monthly and include a complete list of all demographic data collected. Contact [email protected] to explore this solution. 2. API integrations (fee) Participating funders who would like information from their grantees profile, including the demographic survey, to automatically update in their grants management systems are welcome to explore API integrations. Contact [email protected] to explore this solution. 3. Custom data pulls (fee) Candid can work to develop custom searches with participating funders who would like to include only certain fields of information. These can be generated at a regular cadence for the funder to either incorporate in their grants management system or help with separate analyses. Contact [email protected] to explore this solution. 2021 Candid Data Campaign | May 2021| 4 Exhibit A Funder to Prospective Grantee Sample Email Communication Dear prospective grantees, We recently completed our GuideStar profile [link to profile] and want to encourage all of our applicants and grantees to do the same. Here is a little about why: (Choose any or all the key reasons in order of preference…) 1. It helps with fundraising. Research shows that organizations with a GuideStar Seal of Transparency have 53% more fundraising success. 2. It increases your visibility while lowering your burden. The information you provide will be displayed on Candid’s GuideStar for all potential funders to access. It is also sent to all major U.S.-based donor-advised funds and 200+ charitable sites, including AmazonSmile and Facebook. 3. It standardizes how we collect demographic data. Over the last year, you have no doubt noticed that many funders are asking demographic questions about who you are and who you serve. Candid’s GuideStar Profile program aims to standardize our understanding at a sector level. We and many other funders are leaning on this survey in lieu of asking additional demographic questions on our application. 4. It’s good for the sector. GuideStar profiles help us all to centralize and standardize our knowledge about the social sector on GuideStar–a source that is heavily relied on for research and analysis. For these reasons, we require [or strongly recommend] that funding applicants claim their profile, submit the necessary information to achieve a Gold Seal of Transparency, and share your organization’s demographics on GuideStar. It’s free and you can start here. Beginning in [xxx], we will reduce the number of questions we ask on our grant proposal – and we will rely more on your publicly available data which you share through your GuideStar profile. Earn your Seal today To start collecting and sharing demographic information, use Candid’s DEI Survey Guide. By keeping your profile up to date, you decide what potential donors see about your organization on GuideStar. Take the opportunity to tell your own story and make a stronger case for funding. A GuideStar profile is a simple way to showcase your organization’s work. For more information about GuideStar profiles, including how to claim your profile and start earning Seals, view GuideStar’s handy “best practices” guide. 2021 Candid Data Campaign | May 2021| 5 Samples by Other Foundations Charles Stewart Mott Foundation Dear XXX: The Mott Foundation’s mission to promote a just, equitable and sustainable society compels us to strive to do the best we can to promote diversity, equity and inclusion in our grantmaking. While we have historically asked our grantees to share a lot of organizational information with us, we have not asked for demographic information about your staff and board. We believe that the time is now for all of us to lead with action on equity, and to that end, we will start collecting the racial and gender makeup of each grantee organization’s board and staff. With this action, we are not making any programmatic or policy shifts. We are committed to our existing program priorities and grantmaking areas. Quite simply, we intend to be more data driven to ensuring that we are doing our utmost to promote equity. We will use GuideStar as our tool to capture and report on the demographics of our grantees. You can find background on GuideStar and its parent organization, Candid, at https://candid.org/about and https://learn.guidestar.org/products. To aid us in this endeavor, I am asking all current grant recipients and future applicants to the Foundation to update their GuideStar profile to include demographic details. We would greatly benefit from your help in ensuring that Candid has claimed its GuideStar profile and provided up-to-date demographic information. Candid was created through the merger of GuideStar and Foundation Center in 2019. Both organizations are longtime Mott grantees and key pieces of the information and data infrastructure for nonprofits and foundations in the U.S. In addition to being the largest repository of grantmaking data in the world, GuideStar is also widely used by philanthropy due to its certification by the IRS for its “Charity Check” function to determine an organization’s nonprofit status. We have long used this function of GuideStar for our internal due diligence. So, we think of this not as introducing a new tool, but rather of us maximizing and fully utilizing a longtime asset to us and the field.

  • Jesus on Tithing 17
    www.Tithing.com 1 CHAPTER INDEX PREFACE 3 INTRODUCTION 5 FIRST FRUITS 8 ABRAHAM & JACOB 11 JESUS ON TITHING 17 ETERNAL PRINCIPLE 21 THE MINIMUM STANDARD 29 THE LOCAL STOREHOUSE 33 THE BURDEN OF TITHING 38 GREATER GIVING 43 CLOSING THOUGHTS 51 www.Tithing.com 2 PREFACE The preface may be the most important portion to read in this whole book. This will define some terms and clear up some preconceived notions before we proceed to more controversial issues. If you do not believe the tithe is commanded, and are giving through freewill, Spirit-led giving, this resource is written in support of your view of giving; but if you read this only gaining support for the tithing debate, then you will have missed greater intentions that the Spirit of God has. If you support tithing (a minimum requirement of 10%), this resource is not written in total support of your view, but if you feel that this resource will make attempts to excuse selfishness, greed, and disobedience, then you will have missed the greater intentions of giving written here. The challenge for all is to gain knowledge and experience of the greater call and higher guilt led by the Holy Spirit. Whether you give beyond the tithe with limitless offerings, or you give freely, you already exercise the tool used to define "Spirit-led giving". This book will challenge you to give sacrificially. First, let’s explain and compare two types of givers. 1. Cheerful tither - They follow the examples in scripture about tithing, while cheerfully and willingly committing themselves to give a 10% minimum.

Then one day, as I was watching a softball game being played on the campus field, a loud shouting match broke out between the president of the Bible college and another man. Hi Bob, outstanding post.

    Allegiance and Identity: Race and Ethnicity in the Era of the Philippine-American War, 1898-1914 by M. Carmella Cadusale Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the History Program YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY August, 2016 Allegiance and Identity: Race and Ethnicity in the Era of the Philippine-American War, 1898-1914 M.

Diane Barnes, Thesis Advisor Date Dr. David Simonelli, Committee Member Date Dr. Helene Sinnreich, Committee Member Date Dr. Salvatore A. Sanders, Dean of Graduate Studies Date ABSTRACT Filipino culture was founded through the amalgamation of many ethnic and cultural influences, such as centuries of Spanish colonization and the immigration of surrounding Asiatic groups as well as the long nineteenth century’s Race of Nations. However, the events of 1898 to 1914 brought a sense of national unity throughout the seven thousand islands that made the Philippine archipelago. The Philippine-American War followed by United States occupation, with the massive domestic support on the ideals of Manifest Destiny, introduced the notion of distinct racial ethnicities and cemented the birth of one national Philippine identity. The exploration on the Philippine American War and United States occupation resulted in distinguishing the three different analyses of identity each influenced by events from 1898 to 1914: 1) The identity of Filipinos through the eyes of U.S., an orientalist study of the “us” versus “them” heavily influenced by U.S.

One important advantage of storing your money in heaven is that Jim Walters only one person's folly can lose it for you. A Christian may be a millionaire as the bank teller counts but bankrupt as the Lord counts (or vice versa). Such is the vertical dimension of money.
