I am an avid reader of Newsletters, but webinars etc are difficult for me as I live in Australia, and rising in the wee small hours isn't conducive to focus or memory.

Also, many US laws and categories don't apply elsewhere. If our organisation wants to join certain online groups, for example, we have to meet US criteria that don't apply here.

Could I suggest a child be conceived, perhaps partnering with some Australian and Asia Pacific philanthropic groups so that your outreach extends well beyond the Americas with criteria for approval as charities defined by regional laws..

Would be happy to correspond with others on such a consortium.

My outreach effort is based on creating events, informational workshops, and interactive gatherings to educate and involve people in green practices that provide solutions as to how they can meet “identifiable,“ community needs.  My first outreach initiative is the event, “Fall Harvest Celebration,”a collaboration with the PA Farm Market Association and Local Harvest.org to hand out free, fresh food to the community, with a Mission as a focused recipient.  Our idea is to relate the absolute vital aspect of fresh food, create local farmer support and connect the dots between local resources and immediate need.  The green practices involved are: energy savings, the utilization of local resources, and educating people as to the availability of fresh foods. I feel we need to join hands in not only giving to the community, but teaching the community where to find their local resources.
