Protecting Personal Information-
A Guide for Business.
Many organizations keep sensitive personal information in their files-names, Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, and other account data-that identifies customers or employees. While this information is necessary to provide services, meet payroll, or perform other necessary business functions, mishandling can lead to fraud, identity theft, or other harms. For guidance on how to safeguard sensitive data, contact the Federal Trade Commission at www.ftc.gov/infosecurity for its free publication, Protecting Personal Information-A Guide for Business
Emergency Support for Social Change Projects
Funding Exchange: Emergency Fund for Seizing Strategic Opportunities
The Funding Exchange is a national membership organization of publicly supported, community-based foundations that address the root causes of social problems. Through the Funding Exchange’s Emergency Fund for Seizing Strategic Opportunities, grants of up to $5,000 are provided to support specific social justice projects, events, or initiatives. The Fund makes grants in response to political crises or opportunities, when a small amount of money can make a difference in educating or mobilizing for social change under time-sensitive circumstances. Applications may be submitted throughout the year. Application guidelines are available on the Funding Exchange website
