Here is the full Mueller Report-including both Volumes 1 and 2 issued April 18, 2019-on Donald Trump, collusion, and Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.We publish the report, released to the public in redacted form April 18, 2019, without adding extraneous commentary, explanations, spin, or documents that aren't formally part of the report. We leave it to you, the intelligent reader, to make up your own mind.Why is CharityChannel, the twenty-five-year-old community of nonprofit-sector professionals, publishing the Mueller Report? Two reasons. First, it is important to disseminate this report as widely as possible because democracy thrives in the light. We believe that this report casts light that an informed American electorate should consider when electing its leaders, particularly its president-though we acknowledge that the redactions by the U.S. Attorney General are the subject of much discussion and, in some circles, concern. Second, many will appreciate the availability of this report in a book format. We had the means to rapidly produce the report in an 8 1/2" x 11" book and believe doing so performs a valuable public service.So, if you want just the report without anything added or subtracted, you've found it.

Cross-border donors often face daunting challenges. Complex US and international regulatory frameworks apply to cross-border giving, and a lack of understanding of these rules and regulations can result in excessive exposure of donors to risks impacting both their bank accounts and their reputation. In this age of increased prevalence of money laundering, terrorist financing, and an ongoing global trend of tightening regulation of the nonprofit sector, compliance in cross-border grantmaking has never been more difficult nor more important to achieve.Even with the noblest of intentions and goals, if donors do not ensure that their funding is going to well vetted, trustworthy recipients they could be doing more harm than good. As you will learn from the authors in this book, many issues must be addressed when US donors, be they foundations, individuals, corporations, or anyone else involved in philanthropy, choose to make cross-border donations. These span a wide range of regulatory compliance issues, such as adhering to laws blocking the use of charitable funds to finance organized crime and terrorism, preventing the cooptation of the grantmaking process for fraud or personal gain, and ensuring full compliance with applicable laws in the foreign countries that host grant beneficiaries.This is the workbook edition. It is identical to the original hardcover version, but in a paperback, 8.5" x 11" version with plenty of room for writing notes.ContentsIntroductionUnderstanding the 3Rs of Successful Cross-Border Giving, Ted HartChapter OneThe Thriving Ecosystem of International Philanthropy, Adam PickeringChapter TwoUnite and Conquer!

Finally. A book about evaluation for non-evaluators. Who are non-evaluators? Busy professionals like you who need answers, but don't have time to take an applied research and methods class. If you've picked up other books on evaluation and felt like you were left out of the conversation, you're not alone.Elena Harman's The Great Nonprofit Evaluation Reboot puts the focus back on learning from evaluation. Not only that, it's jargon-free and brimming with actionable strategies to help you find the answers to your questions about how to measure your efforts and learn on purpose rather than by accident. There's a chapter for every nonprofit position and how each staff member can uniquely apply evaluation to improve outcomes in fundraising, communications, leadership and governance. Plus, there's even a chapter just for funders.What you can expect: More about thinking and learning instead of data and accountability The three most important steps to discovering how your nonprofit can grow Productive strategies using common language for evaluation Pros, cons and how-to's for keeping evaluation in-house and hiring consultants How everyone can take the first step that's right for their organization The Evaluation Reboot in Four Parts: Part One - Disconnected: The Evaluation Field and Nonprofits We Serve The evaluation field's journey over the years has affected our perceptions and realities about the client and evaluator's relationship. Harman explains her misgivings about counterproductive practices in evaluation and shares her vision for healthier client-evaluator partnerships and their profound benefits. Part Two - Breaking It Down If you're considering evaluation for your programs, the first step is often the most difficult. Harman breaks down the five core elements of effective evaluation one by one. Think of these core elements as the backbone of effective evaluation. By the end of the section, you have a better understanding of how to get started and how to effectively measure your outcomes. Part Three - Pick Your Position: How Evaluation Can Work for You Carrying out evaluation cuts across the entire organizational chart and needs the engagement of every staff member. This section explains how each position can uniquely apply evaluation techniques to amplify their results. Harman introduces the body's head and limbs as a metaphor to explain how programs require the animation of all body parts to move evaluation forward. Part Four - Let's Get Started This section of the book prepares you to apply the author's discussions thus far in Part Two, which provide a necessary framework, or as she explains, the backbone, for effective evaluation. Then Part Three explores all the moving parts or positions that activate evaluation. This last portion of the book assembles and cross-references content that Harman finds helpful for making those early steps, including a Nonprofit Evaluation Bill of Rights. What Nonprofit Experts Have to Say: "insightful and practical" "essential evaluation methods that development officers can easily apply" "evaluation as a learning tool rather than an accountability measure" "opened my eyes to ways in which evaluation can support communications" "appreciated a focus on educating donors about what data to ask for and why" "a soli
