📢💥 It's no secret that local civil society organizations need fast and unrestricted funds more than ever right now while they grapple with cuts in US government funding. NGOsource General Manager Martha Lackritz-Peltier joins Centro Mexicano para la Filantropía, A.C. (CEMEFI) Program Manager Alma Morales Lara to discuss equivalency determinations with grassroots organizations in Central America, and the funders who support them, at Focus Central America Partner Appreciation Week in Panama.

I am deeply honored for the opportunity to listen and learn from grassroots organizations in Central America at Focus Central America Partner Appreciation Summit 2025. FCA models beautifully how funders can genuinely center the voices and needs of their grantee partners as a crucial component of their philanthropic strategy. Focus Central America Jodianna Ringel

📅 NEW DATE: NGOsource webinar on “Tipping” – moved to Wednesday, April 2 from 12-1:00pm ET 👉 Navigating the Risk of "Tipping" in International Grantmaking Curious to learn more about what “tipping” is in international grantmaking? When a foundation makes a large grant (or series of grants) to a public charity whose revenue is not already significant and diverse, the funder risks tipping the charity into private foundation status. NGOsource frequently works with its members and their grantees to investigate how this issue plays out in practice, and what can be done to proactively prevent it. Please join NGOsource’s Martha Lackritz-Peltier on Wednesday, April 2 from 12-1:00pm ET for a webinar to learn more about ways to avoid tipping, and how best to support organizations that do. 

Through the generous support of the United States-Japan Foundation, NGOsource is thrilled to welcome a new partnership with Japan NPO Center (JNPOC) to support Japanese organizations undergoing ED. JNPOC is now officially onboarded as one of 12 NGOsource Global Partners, adding Japanese to the list of supported languages. Read the launch announcement and Q&A with Kazuho Tsuchiya, a Senior Program Coordinator at JNPOC, to learn more about both the challenges and the opportunities Japanese nonprofits are facing and JNPOC’s vision for strengthening civic engagement: https://lnkd.in/gs5E-Zm9

NGOsource is excited to now offer Japanese as an official language option for NGOs, supported by the Japan NPO Center, a civil society organization in Tokyo focused on infrastructure for the Japanese nonprofit sector. Grantmakers and their grantees may now select Japanese as their language of choice in the Grantmaker Portal and NGO Portal. Learn more at: https://lnkd.in/gRKQpTZ3.
