Anti-Hunger Groups Turning to For-Profit Strategies to
Raise Money

In response to a decline in donations and increasing
demand, many charities participating in the Meals on
Wheels (http://www.projectmeal.org/) program are hatching
entrepreneurial schemes to raise money to meet the needs
of America's poor and elderly, the Wall Street Journal
reports. Meals on Wheels, which involves over 4,000
nonprofit agencies and last year received approximately
$500 million in donations and federal and state funds,
currently has more than 100,000 senior adults wait-listed
for the program.

"We can see the handwriting on the wall," said Bob Pratt,
CEO of the Los Angeles chapter of Volunteers of America
(http://www.voa.org/). "The thirty-five million elderly
today are going to turn into seventy million elderly by
2030, and there's very little provision in public policy
or philanthropy for this population. We're going to have
to find ways to be more self-sufficient."

To generate additional income, nonprofit anti-hunger
groups have developed a range of for-profit strategies,
including offering catering services, selling gourmet food
items, and, in the case of Pratt's organization, marketing
a line of soups under the "La Voa" brand. Meanwhile, the
ProjectMeal Foundation, the fundraising and grant-giving
arm of the Meals On Wheels Association, plans to deliver
seminars in selected cities geared toward advising groups
on how to develop their own fee-based programs.

"People assume that Meals on Wheels is an entitlement, and
it will always be there when they need it," said Connie
Benton Wolfe, executive director of the National Meals on
Wheels Foundation. "They are surprised when they find out
there are limitations."

Effectiveness of Faith-Based Social Service Programs
Questioned

With Congress about to hold hearings on the Bush
administration's plan to direct more funding to faith-
based social service programs, politicians are
scrambling to find published evidence that such programs
are effective, the New York Times reports.

But according to Bryon R. Johnson, director of the Center
for Research on Religion and Urban Civil Society at the
University of Pennsylvania -- the institute founded by
John H. DiIulio, Jr., the head of the White House
Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives -- there
is little reliable evidence to support the
administration's assertions about the effectiveness
of faith-based programs and scant data showing how they
stack up against secular programs.

"From the left to the right, everyone assumes that faith-
based programs work," said Johnson, who until recently
worked side-by-side with DiIulio. "Even the critics of
[John] and his office haven't denied that. We hear that
and just sit back and laugh. In terms of empirical
evidence that they work, it's pretty much nonexistent.
We've created an office out of anecdotes."

That the eventual success of the administration's
initiative depends on such evidence is something both
supporters and critics of the Bush plan agree on.
But finding unambiguous data has not been easy. For
starters, even large human service organizations like
those affiliated with the United Way are only now
beginning to measure the effectiveness of their work,
notes William H. Wubbenhorst, technical director for ORC
Macro International, a consulting firm in Maryland.

Another problem with such research, says David Reingold, a
researcher at the Indiana University School of Public
Service and Environmental Affairs, is that many faith-
based programs limit or screen the clientele they help. As
a result, says, Reingold, who recently authored a study on
the delivery of social services in Indiana, "It's an
extreme exaggeration to say that religious organizations
are more effective."

It may be a moot point, however. If the president's plan
is enacted, notes Bryon Johnson, we'll all "have a chance
to find out how effective faith-based groups are."

Results." New York Times 04/24/2001.

Foundation Gives $40 Million to Two Michigan Hospitals for
Cancer Research

The Bloomfield Hills-based Vattikuti Foundation has
announced separate matching grants of $20 million to two
Michigan hospitals to support prostate and breast cancer
research. The gifts, to the Henry Ford Health System and
the William Beaumont Hospitals, will create the Vattikuti
Urology Institute at Henry Ford and the Vattikuti Cancer
Institute at Beaumont. In order to maximize the impact of
the gifts, the institutions will coordinate their
research efforts.

"We feel a philanthropic partnership with these two
impressive institutions will enable them to have
unprecedented success with clinical research and
innovative treatments of prostate and breast cancers,"
said foundation president Raj Vattikuti. "We are
challenging these two institutions to achieve new clinical
knowledge through research, new treatment methods and
expanded awareness and education, with the hope of
preventing prostate and breast cancers."

Breast cancer is the most common cancer, and the second
leading cause of cancer death, in women. Cancer of the
prostate is the number one cancer diagnosed among men in
the United States. According to the American Cancer
Society, about 182,800 new cases of breast cancer and
close to 200,000 new cases of prostate cancer are
diagnosed in the U.S. each year.

Osher Foundation Gives $10 Million to Harvard Medical
School to Support Research in Complementary
Therapies

The San Francisco-based Bernard Osher Foundation has
awarded $10 million to Harvard Medical School
(http://www.med.harvard.edu/) to support the school's
recently established Division for Research and Education
in Complementary and Integrative Medical Therapies. The
gift also will be used to establish the Harvard Medical
School-Osher Institute for Research and Education in
Complementary and Integrative Medical Therapies. The
mission of both is to facilitate interdisciplinary and
inter-institutional faculty collaboration
to evaluate rigorously complementary and integrative
medical treatments.

"This extraordinary gift from the Osher Foundation will
allow us to take a leadership role in building a
scientific understanding of the opportunities
and risks encountered by patients seeking complementary
and alternative therapies," said Harvard Medical School
dean Joseph B. Martin. "We need to evaluate scientifically
the effectiveness of these techniques -- to assess
the current status of our knowledge and determine what we
need to do to advance that knowledge."

Complementary therapies are health-care practices such as
acupuncture, herbal therapies, relaxation techniques, and
therapeutic massage that mainstream, conventional medicine
has not routinely made available. In 1997, Americans made
an estimated 600 million office visits to practitioners of
complementary medicine and spent roughly $30 billion out
of pocket on complementary care. The budget of the
National Institutes of Health for research in this area
has roughly doubled every two years since 1993.

The existing division and the new institute will be
directed by David Eisenberg, Harvard Medical School
associate professor of medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess
Medical Center, where he directs the hospital's Center for
Alternative Medicine Research and Education.

"Bernard Osher, through his extraordinary generosity, has
made this line of inquiry permanent. My hope is that when
five or ten universities have sustainable infrastructure
for research, education, and responsible patient
care in this area, we will forget the terms 'alternative'
and 'complementary' altogether and simply provide the best
available medicine, based on the best available
information," said Eisenberg, who studied
complementary and alternative medicine in the People's
Republic of China in 1979 as the first U.S. medical
exchange student to that country.

Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation to Launch
Guggenheim.com

As part of its effort to build a worldwide network of
museums, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation plans to
launch a Web site in September that will
feature cultural content from various institutions,
including the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg,
Russia, the New York Times reports.

The new site, which will offer free content as well as
fee-based educational services and a gift shop, will be a
blend of art and e-commerce. Other features slated for the
site include streaming video and high-quality digital
reproductions of sculptures, paintings, and other works.

While the new site, which is a separate for-profit entity
from the foundation, has secured high-profile funding from
the likes of Softbank Venture Capital, Pequot Private
Equity, and G.E. Captial, museum experts warn that online
ventures are risky for cultural institutions, especially
during an economic slowdown.

"These things are much harder to do than people imagine,"
commented David Bearman, president of the Pittsburgh-based
Archives and Museum Informatics. "The problems that people
are having as they try to create content from the digital
assets of museums, special collections and libraries are
evidence that this is an extremely difficult market to
enter into successfully."

$35 Million Gift From Paul Barret Jr. Trust to Fund
Construction of Library at Rhodes College

Rhodes College (http://www.rhodes.edu/), in Memphis,
Tennessee, has received a gift of $35 million from the
Paul Barret Jr. Trust. The gift, which will
fund construction of a new library, is the largest in the
school's history and the largest gift for a capital
project ever received by a liberal arts college in the
South. The gift and interest accrued on it will be enough
to fund the estimated $40 million cost of the project.

"This is a magnificent gift," said Rhodes president
William Troutt. "The Paul Barret Jr. Library will reshape
our campus. It is a major step forward in making Rhodes
even stronger."

The Paul Barret Jr. Trust was established after the death
of Paul Barret Jr., a 1946 graduate of Rhodes and a
lifelong supporter of the college, in 1999. Barret was the
chairman of Barretville Bank and Trust Co., a business
established by his father in 1908.

The gift from the Trust continues a family tradition. Mr.
Barret was the great-nephew of A.K. Burrow, who, with his
wife Catherine, donated the funds to build Rhodes' Burrow
Library and Catherine Burrow Refectory. The gift
from the Trust marks the first time a benefactor has
stepped forward to fund an entire facility since the
Burrows built the current library in 1951.

College Students Launch Their Own Nonprofit Organizations

A recent article in the Los Angeles Times reports on the
efforts of socially conscious college students who have
opted to start their own foundations and nonprofit
organizations with money out of their own pockets or from
an inheritance.

One such student is Alap Akshay Mahadevia, a Harvard
sophomore who founded a nonprofit organization that funds
anti-poverty and literacy efforts in India. With
sponsorship from CARE International, Mahadevia has become
so involved in his organization, Allforindia.com, that he
plans to take a year off to devote himself completely to
the project.

"When you show your dedication, they're even more willing
to work with you," the 19-year-old Mahadevia said.
"College students are filled with idealism and energy....
I think people see that and respond."

Joel Orosz, program director of philanthropy and
volunteerism at the W.K.Kellogg Foundation
(http://www.wkkf.org/), has watched the number of
charitable organizations founded by college students
increase over the past few years.

"It's a change, very much so," Orosz notes. "The old days
when foundations could make or break these efforts really
are gone. If they can't get money out of Kellogg or Ford
or Packard, they can literally find out how somebody
started a foundation with $500 and built on it, then
follow that model."

With an inheritance of $20,000 from his grandmother, 22-
year-old Brian Swett started a foundation to support
programs that benefit the Lakota people. Swett, who
studies public policy and international relations at Brown
University, was inspired by an article he read about a man
who transports food and other supplies to the Lakota, who
have an average male life expectancy of 48 years. Swett's
organization currently is working on developing a drug and
alcohol-counseling program.

"This was very much of a Third World situation within
America's borders," Swett told the Times. "People don't
know about it, and we're not doing enough."

Reasons for the increased interest in the nonprofit world
among college students range from a breakdown in the
traditional family structure to a general apathy toward or
distrust of government. For Wendy Adelson, a senior
at Brandeis University, it's much simpler than that. "What
I see is a generation that predominantly grew up with the
largest economic boom in U.S. history -- not experiencing
any major wars, not experiencing any true difficulties
besides small things that our families had to deal with."

Annan Calls on Foundations to Support Global Fund to Fight
AIDS

During an address at the 52nd annual conference of the
Council on Foundations (http://www.cof.org/) in
Philadelphia on Monday, United Nations secretary-general
Kofi Annan appealed to the more than 2,000 philanthropic
leaders gathered to step forward with funding for a multi-
billion global fund that will work to combat the spread of
AIDS and other diseases, the Philadelphia Inquirer
reports.

"The world has the resources to defeat this epidemic if it
really wants to," Annan told the overflow audience. "But
at present, there's a lot of confusion about how the money
should be raised, where it should be directed, and who can
ensure that it's well spent."

Developing countries spend approximately $1 billion on
AIDS research and prevention programs annually, Annan
said.

At the UN General Assembly meeting in June, the secretary
general is expected to unveil a plan to help poor nations
fight the disease. While details of the plan are still
sketchy, Annan's vision is to create a single fund, most
likely to be governed by the World Bank, that would
integrate and unite AIDS and HIV prevention and research
efforts around the world.

Two University of California Campuses Receive Grants to
Increase Graduation Rates for Latinos in California

The University of California has announced that it will
participate in a $28 million, nationwide initiative aimed
at increasing high school and college graduation rates
among Latinos.

As part of the initiative sponsored by the W.K. Kellogg
Foundation (http://www.wkkf.org/) of Battle Creek,
Michigan, UC Santa Barbara (http://www.ucsb.edu/) has
received a $1.5 million grant and Santa Ana College -- of
which UC Irvine (http://www.uci.edu/) is a key partner --
received a $1.6 million grant..

"The University of California system is proud to be part
of these groundbreaking partnerships with the community
that reinforce our mission to serve all populations in
California," said C. Judson King, UC provost and senior
vice president of academic affairs. "Latino graduates
increasingly will play major leadership roles in guiding
the future of California. We hope these future leaders
receive their diplomas from our campuses," added King.

The funds support thirteen community partnerships formed
by colleges, universities, students, parents, businesses,
and local schools in seven states with large Latino
populations: Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, New
Mexico, New York and Texas.

For many, this effort represents the first time that
Latino education has been placed at the center of
communitywide efforts to work across social, economic and
educational boundaries, according to the Kellogg
Foundation.

The UC Santa Barbara-developed program will benefit
students in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties. Many
community groups and leaders contributed to the plan,
which was funded by a $100,000 Kellogg planning grant last
year.

"Ours is a program that honors and respects Latino
tradition and culture and builds on that in a way that
will enrich the experience both of students and of local
schools," said UCSB Chancellor Henry T. Yang. "Working
together, we will strive to enhance higher-education
opportunities for students who historically have not been
as well represented at the university level as they
deserve to be."

UC Irvine will collaborate with the Santa Ana College-led
program, which involves the city of Santa Ana, Santa Ana
Unified School District and California State University
in, Fullerton, as well as parents, community and business
organizations.

The Kellogg grants center on programs from pre-
kindergarten through college. Specific strategies vary at
each site, but the programs will focus on young people at
all points of the educational pathway.

IBM Gives $150 Million to SUNY Albany for Microchip
Research Center

The State University of New York at Albany will receive a
$100 million grant from IBM for the expansion of its
microchip research and design center, the New York Times
reports.

In addition to the IBM gift, New York State announced that
it would contribute $50 million to help the center to
expand its staff and purchase new equipment. Over the past
few years, the research center has become one of the
leading research centers specializing in microchip
technology development.

"This constitutes the largest single university donation
in IBM's history," said John E. Kelly III, senior vice
president and group executive of IBM Technology Group. "In
fact, it’s the largest by an order of magnitude. But I
view it less a donation than as an investment."

Industry experts anticipate that the next generation of
advanced microchips will be made from ultra-thin silicon
wafers that are 300 millimeters in diameter, rather than
the 200-millimeter-diameter chips currently used. SUNY
hopes to make the Albany campus the first 300-millimeter-
wafer research and design center outside of private
industry.

In recent years, New York has repeatedly used state money
and partnerships with universities to attract private
investment in high-tech projects.

Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Awards $8 Million
Challenge Grant to Colorado Small School Initiative

The Seattle-based Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (
http://www.gatesfoundation.org/) has announced a five-
year, $8 million challenge grant to help small public high
schools in Colorado. As a result of the grant, it’s
expected that a total of $20 million will be raised and
spent on the Small Schools initiative, making it one of
the largest private investments in the state’s public
schools.

"Colorado is primed and ready to meet the fundraising
challenge offered by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation,"
said Colorado governor Bill Owens, whose Office of
Innovation and Technology, together with the Colorado
Children's Campaign, worked for several months to secure
the grant. "The small schools projects launching today are
vital elements of my overall education reform agenda."

Funds generated by the challenge grant will be used to
create four new technology-rich high schools; to split
three academically struggling schools into smaller
"multiplex" schools that provide more intimate learning
communities, reduce student isolation and anonymity, and
offer low-income kids a chance to catch up academically;
and to create a network designed to connect charter
schools with resources and each other. The schools funded
by the initiative are expected to eventually provide model
programs that can be replicated by other schools in the
state.

The Gates Foundation has invested in small school projects
in populous states such as California and New York, with
successful results.

"The research is conclusive: small schools provide
learning environments where all students can achieve,"
said Tom Vander Ark, the foundation's executive director
of education. "Colorado is one of few states beginning to
approach this issue comprehensively, and our partnership
with the Colorado Children's Campaign will help accelerate
this work."

Knight Foundation Awards Grant for Teacher Networking
Project

The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
(http://www.knightfdn.org/) has awarded the New York City-
based Teachers Network, developers of the IMPACT teacher-
to-teacher networking model, $750,000 over three years to
support and expand IMPACT II services in seven
communities: West Palm Beach, Tallahassee, and the Miami-
Fort Lauderdale area in Florida; Akron, Ohio; Lexington,
Kentucky; Charlotte, North Carolina; and San Jose,
California.

"Those of us lucky enough to have had one or two great
teachers know that they can, dramatically, influence our
lives," said Knight president and CEO Hodding Carter III.
"The Teachers Network has proven the value of connecting
committed teachers with their peers to the benefit of
students, faculties, and school districts across America."

The funding from the Miami-based foundation will provide
support and professional development for both new and
veteran teachers, including opportunities to develop
meaningful technology-based curriculum by participating in
TeachNet as well as having a voice in educational
policymaking through the National Teacher Policy Institute
(NTPI).

"In the face of crippling teacher shortages, networking
and professional development have never been more
important for attracting and retaining quality teachers,"
said Ellen Meyers, senior vice president of the Teachers
Network. "We are thrilled that Knight Foundation is making
it possible for Teachers Network to expand its IMPACT II
efforts to connect and support great teachers in
communities across the country."
