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.
