>Dear friends,
>
>This is the newsletter of Idealist and Action Without
>Borders, which currently has 30,000 subscribers. To
>see previous issues, or to subscribe or unsubscribe,
>please go to http://www.idealist.org/newsletter.html
>
>As always, our goal is to share with you some of the most
>useful news and resources we have found in the last few
>weeks. Let's start with two prizes:
>
>1. The Conrad Hilton Foundation is inviting nominations
>for the 2000 Hilton Humanitarian Prize. In their words:
>"The $US 1 million prize, the world's largest humanita-
>rian award, is presented annually to an established
>nonprofit organization that has made extraordinary
>contributions toward alleviating human suffering anywhere
>in the world. The prize is not a grant based on future
>goals, but an award for recent and historic
>accomplishments."
>
>Nomination packets are available now, and nominations
>must be received by January 15, 2000. Contact: Conrad N.
>Hilton Foundation, Hilton Humanitarian Prize, 10100 Santa
>Monica Boulevard, Suite 1000, Los Angeles, CA 90067-4011,
>US telephone: (310) 556-4694 Fax:(310) 556-8130 E-mail:

>
>2. To celebrate its 10th anniversary, the Association for
>Progressive Communications (APC) is launching the
>Betinho Prize, "in an effort to recognize and to document
>outstanding examples of how the Internet is being
>used to make a real difference."
>
>The $US 7,500 prize is open to nonprofit organizations,
>community-based groups, coalitions or social movements
>anywhere in the world that have successfully used
>information and communication technologies as an
>essential ingredient in their work. The deadline for
>nominations is January 31, 2000. For more information,
>please see http://www.apc.org/english/betinho
>
>
>3. At http://fdncenter.org/onlib/lnps/index.html the US
>Foundation Center has put together a very large
>database of literature on philanthropy (articles, books,
>etc.). The database incorporates the contents of the
>Foundation Center's five libraries, and contains over
>17,000 bibliographic citations, 11,000 of which have
>descriptive abstracts. The site also has a useful list,
>with full contact information, of dozens of periodicals
>in the nonprofit and philanthropy sectors.
>
>
>4. At http://www.aviva.org/tree.htm you will find a great
>directory of women's organizations, resources and events
>around the world. (After the page loads, scroll down to
>the bottom, and start by clicking on 'Groups' or
>'Resources' on any  continent.)
>
>
>5. At http://www.westernjustice.org/orgs.cfm the Western
>Justice Center has developed an online database of 1,400
>organizations and educational institutions that provide
>resources and training in community-based mediation,
>crosscultural collaboration and other conflict resolution
>skills. These organizations are mostly in the US, but at
>http://www.westernjustice.org/CF/internat.cfm they also
>have a directory of such organizations around the world.
>
>
>6. Break Away is a nonprofit organization that serves as
>a resource for planning and running effective break
>programs for schools and community organizations. These
>programs send teams of college or high school students
>into diverse communities to engage in volunteer service
>and experiential learning during their school vacations.
>
>Break Away's programs include training and special
>events, publications and networking. Nonprofit organiza-
>tions can access hundreds of student volunteers by
>listing themselves in the Break Away SiteBank Catalog, a
>directory of community organizations that host
>alternative break programs across the US. For more
>information on how you, your school or organization can
>get involved in this program, see the Break Away website
>at http://www.alternativebreaks.com
>
>
>7. Finally, we are now making a special effort to invite
>nonprofits everywhere to list their job openings in
>Idealist, and reach the 12,000 people who receive these
>listings every morning. If you work for an organization
>that has a person in charge of Human Resources, it would
>be a great help if you could refer him or her to
>http://www.idealist.org
>
>That's all for now. We hope that you and yours have a
>great weekend.
