WEBINAR: Grantmakers balance the IRS due diligence requirements for grants. December 8th.

The Center for Disaster Philanthropy is hosting a webinar on Thursday, Dec. 8, at 2 p.m. ET to help grantmakers balance the IRS due diligence requirements for grants with the need to move swiftly and minimize the burden on grantee partners during a disaster. Moderated by CDP’s Chief Financial Officer, Jennifer Commander, the panel will discuss how foundations and other institutional donors can think differently about risk. Speakers will explore the legalities of grantmaking, including what is and isn’t required and how simplifying the requirements can increase equity for communities of color. Panelists will include Remy Barnwell of the Council on Foundations, Iara Peng of Just Fund and Katrina Julien of the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta.

Please register and join us.  ​ My best, Regine PS: Automatic closed captioning will be available via Zoom during the webinar. The fully captioned webinar recording will be emailed to everyone who registered. Regine A. Webster | she/her | Based in Nashville Vice President

Baking Soda

Cancer cells thrive in an acidic environment and baking soda has an alkalizing effect due to the presence of sodium bicarbonate. This helps to reverse the effects of prostate cancer and make it more difficult for cancerous cells to divide or reproduce in the imbalanced pH setting of your body.

WHO is poised to rename monkeypox as “MPOX”

The Virus Formerly Known as Monkeypox WHO is poised to rename monkeypox as “MPOX,” Politico reports.  The Biden administration reportedly urged the agency to hurry up on the name change—for which WHO sought suggestions over the summer—amid concerns of deepening stigma. Calling out the name: Scientists and LGBT activists had also argued for months that the monkeypox name is imprecise and plays into racist stereotypes about Africa. As the outbreak slows, research findings continue to reveal more about the virus: Gay men were most at risk in this outbreak, but a first-of-its-kind Lancet study found that thousands of women and nonbinary people were infected—many of them without sexual contact—and that many cases were likely missed, the New York Times reports.   When did it all begin? A Dutch preprint study found no evidence of widespread transmission before the first week of May—the same week the virus was flagged in the UK, Spain, and Portugal, CIDRAP reports.  The vaccine works: A study by UK health officials estimated that a single dose of the Jynneos monkeypox vaccine was 78% effective at protecting against infection 14+ days after vaccination, STAT reports.
