Turning Knowledge into Action: Revisiting the IGS
Anuar Juraidini | Citi Foundation
Ulrika Friesen | Analyst at Cisco
CAF America’s annual executive symposium on the ins and outs of international grantmaking was presented this year in partnership with the UNDP, taking place just a few weeks ago at the UN Headquarters in New York City.
In this edition, Ted Hart, CEO of CAF America, will be speaking with two of our delegates: Anuar Juraidini, Grants Manager at Citi Foundation, and Ulrika Friesen, Analyst at Cisco about their experience at the 2016 International Grantmaking Symposium.
Ranging from exploring the role of philanthropy in accomplishing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to how to abide by anti-money laundering regulations, the conversations -- involving delegates and speakers representing five countries and both the corporate and philanthropic sectors -- addressed many of the challenges and opportunities of international philanthropy.

Granting to China Made "Easy?"
Jessie Krafft | CAF America
On January 1, 2017, the “Law of the People’s Republic of China on Administration of Activities of Overseas Nongovernmental Organizations in the Mainland of China” (colloquially known as “China’s Overseas NGO Management Law”) went into effect. The law requires that foreign NGOs coordinate their efforts with the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) and provides the framework within which they can continue their activities in the country: (1) opening an office in China, or (2) applying for a temporary activity license.
