Adam Huttler – The Business of Charity in the New Economy
Adam Huttler is founder and executive director of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit organization that serves a national community of artists.
The traditional non-profit model is under attack. Rattling our tin cup for grants is no longer enough. Funders ask us to be business-like, but what does that really mean?
In this talk, Adam Huttler will discuss some emerging models for reinventing the way nonprofit cultural organizations do business. He will consider legal strategies, like the L3C and fiscal sponsorship. He will discuss structural approaches, including systems-centric cluster management. And he will consider the philosophical underpinnings of the whole conversation Who are our customers? Is professionalism really a good thing? When should infrastructure be outsourced?

[See More] http://www.mys.ca/volunter/how-to
Most not-for-profit organizations still rely (only) on face-to-face volunteers to help plan, organize and execute their special events. However, Canadian-based charitable organization, Macdonald Youth Services (MYS), has demonstrated that Internet-based volunteers can play a key role in the success of special events.
To recognize and show appreciation for the significant contribution online volunteers made towards the success of MYS’s anniversary events, Event Co-ordinator Julie Fine delivered a video thank you message to them. The 1.5 minute video, which was produced by MYS’s New York based online volunteer Richard Wagner, speaks to the amazement Fine experienced in working with these highly-skilled online volunteers. The video is available for download in various formats at the following URL:

Conociendonos Peruanos -PAMS Peruvian American Medical Society – California- LA. Algunos miembros
“Conociendonos Peruanos” presenta a algunos miembros de PAMS Peruvian American Medical Society, Capitulo de California , L.A.
FACTS AND FIGURES ABOUT PAMS MEDICAL MISSIONS
•In 2008 PAMS members have conducted 14 medical missions to Peru, including one permanent mission that focuses on cardiothoracic surgery in Lima. Thousands of patients have benefited from these missions.
•$2,490,965 was donated in direct support of the PAMS missions in 2008. The cost of all missions in 2008 exceeded 20 million dollars.
•The missions are conducted in the very needy areas of Peru extending from north to south, from east to west, including the coastal, mountain and jungle regions.
•The needs of the people are many and their living conditions are challenging. In Cangallo, a town that is deep in the area of Ayacucho, only 33% of the people have clean drinking water, 6% have sewer facilities, 20% have electricity and the illiteracy rate among women is 43%. Thus, the high incidence of gastrointestinal and respiratory infections and high infant mortality rate. Cangallo however is not alone as there are many towns like this throughout Peru.
•Volunteers are Peruvian, American and other International physicians, nurses, dentists and paramedical personnel who go to Peru at their own expense motivated by the passion to help those in desperate need of medical care. They work collaboratively with local Peruvian counterparts, sometimes including local medical schools. The care provided is free.
•The missions have included internists and primary care physicians, cardiologists, gastroenterologists, hematology/oncologists, pediatricians, general and laparoscopic surgeons, ophthalmologists, orthopedic surgeons, anesthesiologists, plastic surgeons, gynecologists, gynecology oncologists, and dentists.
•The medical missions not only include education, prevention and direct patient care but also establishes modern pediatric, neonatal, gastrointestinal, cardiologic and surgical units with donated equipment that is left in Peru for further use by the local medical community.
•The medical care provided by PAMS missions to the people of Peru is of the highest quality including surgical procedures that cant be conducted safely in Peru.
•Volunteers and PAMS Auxiliary conduct visits to local pediatric and maternity units as well as orphanages. They facilitate medical and dental care for these children by mission members and donate clothes, shoes, computers and other necessities. More than anything however, they bring their love and affection to these special children.
•PAMS also is present at times of catastrophe such as earthquakes that have devastated certain regions of the country. With the cooperation of local, private and public entities PAMS is committed to developing a Community Center in Chincha and another in Pisco to provide medical care ranging from prevention screening and early detection to appropriate care of disease in children and adults.
•PAMS missions confront a number of bureaucratic impediments that limit the ability to distribute equipment, medicines and supplies necessary for missions. PAMS is working with local authorities and private industry to resolve this problem.
•Everybody is capable of helping, whether by volunteering for a mission, providing economic assistance, obtaining and donating equipment and medicines, or by supporting the work of the Auxiliary. The needs are many, from elemental to complex, and all of us can contribute a grain of salt to this vast sea of need.
•Please join and support the Medical Missions to Peru!
