Barriers To International Giving By U.S.-Based Private Foundations: Perceptions Of Stakeholders, Rachel Humphrey May 2003

Barriers To International Giving By U.S.-Based Private Foundations: Perceptions Of Stakeholders, Rachel Humphrey

Master's Theses

This study described perceptions of 26 stakeholders in the field of international philanthropy regarding barriers to international giving. It further investigated the role of private foundations in international assistance and the types of organizations promoting international philanthropy and helping foundations overcome these barriers.

The study found that there were psychosocial barriers facing foundations not engaged in international philanthropy, practical barriers that inhibit international grantmaking, and strategic and psychosocial barriers to effective international philanthropy by foundations already engaged in it.

Pastors For Peace And The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Center: A Case Study Of Cooperation Between Two Nonprofit Organizations From Two Countries Without Diplomatic Relations, And With An Economic Embargo Enforced By One Country Against The Other, Alicia Beatriz Jrapko Oct 1998

Pastors For Peace And The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Center: A Case Study Of Cooperation Between Two Nonprofit Organizations From Two Countries Without Diplomatic Relations, And With An Economic Embargo Enforced By One Country Against The Other, Alicia Beatriz Jrapko

Master's Theses

This thesis is a case study about an American nonprofit organization, Pastors for Peace, working with a Cuban counterpart, the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Center. This study is about cooperation between nonprofit organizations in two countries without diplomatic relations. In addition, there is an economic embargo imposed by the United States against Cuba. The research demonstrates that when an American nonprofit organization working abroad aims to change U.S. policy, the work will be controversial and difficult, and there will be some legal implications for the organization as an entity as well as for staff members and volunteers individually.

Quantitative Growth Relationships Of Microcoleus Vaginatus (Gom.) Ex Drouet And Alcaligenes Sp. In A Sucrose-Salts Medium, James Rexford Brownell Jul 1972

Quantitative Growth Relationships Of Microcoleus Vaginatus (Gom.) Ex Drouet And Alcaligenes Sp. In A Sucrose-Salts Medium, James Rexford Brownell

Master's Theses

The blue-green alga, Microcoleus vaginatus (Gom.) ex Drouet 1968, and a bacterium, Alcaligenes sp., collected from the same habitat, were cultured together and separately in mineral salts media with and without sucrose. Growth of axenic M. vaginatus was stimulated by sucrose. In association with the bacterium in sucrose-containing media algal growth was suppressed, while in inorganic media it was stimulated. Factors involved in this algal-bacterial system probably included competition for the carbon source, changes in pH, and accumulation of cellular waste and lytic products.
