The Brain Trust is excited to start the New Year with a fully revamped GIVEBACK celebration, at an all new location. The monthly organic, social networking event dedicated to the do-gooders of philanthropy and nonprofit has found a new home in the Lower East Side: Bamboo (the basement at Lucky Cheng's). Next Thursday, January 26th from 7pm-11pm, the folks at Bamboo open their doors to let us mix, mingle, talk shop, and most importantly, unwind.

This month we toast to 2012 and celebrate the birthdays of Brain Trust members Kevin Ryan (NY Foundation) and Marcus Walton (ABFE). As usual, on the wheels o' steel will be resident Giveback DJs and Brain Trust members Dr. Philgood and Tony Tantrum. What's more: a live set by Neo-Soul band the Night Dreamers.

This panel discussion focuses on the current state of anti-immigrant legislation, its effects on the Latino communities, and how funders can respond to the ensuing humanitarian crisis. Listen in as panelists take a closer look at these issues through an assessment of Alabama's HB 56 bill, its impact on the state, and the implications nationwide. Panelists include Isabel Rubio, Executive Director of the Hispanic Interest Coalition of Alabama (HICA), a key leading service provider and advocate for the states Latino communities; Mary Bauer, Legal Director of the Southern Poverty Law Center, which is leading the legal battle to repeal HB 56 in Alabama; and James Carlton, Program Officer at the Marguerite Casey Foundation, which focuses on strengthening social justice movement-building for low-income families, including immigrant families.

Calling all philanthropists and human rights activists in the Bay Area! If you have an interest in human rights in Mexico and the Americas, you won't want to miss out on this opportunity to meet with Consuelo Morales, this years' Human Rights Watch Voices for Justice Honoree. Sister Consuelo Morales works in Mexico to defend victims of human rights violations and hold their abusers accountable.

After years working with indigenous communities in Veracruz and street children in Mexico City, Morales returned to her native city of Monterrey in 1992 to find a community rife with abuses but without a human rights organization. She helped found Citizens in Support of Human Rights (Ciudadanos en Apoyo de Derechos Humanos, CADHAC) to fill that void and has led it ever since. Over nearly two decades, CADHAC has addressed a wide range of serious human rights problems in Nuevo Leon, from abuse in state-run orphanages to the forced displacement of people from their lands. Nik Steinberg is the current researcher assigned to Mexico and Cuba in the Human Rights Watch Americas Division. To view pictures of this event please click here.

Is your website where you want it to be? Setting up a website for your nonprofit doesn't have to be difficult, time-consuming or costly! HIP has partnered with Jimdo to connect nonprofit leaders with a simple, low-cost, do-it-yourself tool for website creation and management. We hope that this will enable more organizations to establish a presence online and thus better serve their communities and connect with potential supporters.

HIP is pleased to be a promotional partner for this webinar, sponsored by NCNG. This webinar will feature a panel of three experienced professionals discussing how to make philanthropy more inclusive, sharing personal and professional challenges and opportunities for people from communities of color and other underrepresented groups working in the field, as well as how institutions can become more culturally competent and more inviting to diversity.

It's well-known that the new Census shows tremendous growth of the Hispanic population — a 43 percent increase, reaching a total of 50.5 million. But what's the story behind the numbers, and what does it mean for funders? In some states, especially in the South, the Latino population has more than doubled. How can funders support these fast-growing Latino communities, where the Latino nonprofit sector is often relatively small or nascent? In California and four Southwestern states, more than one in four residents is Latino, including 40 percent or more of all children. With these changes showing potential for both increased Latino political power and increased xenophobia, how can funders respond?

Learn what the numbers mean and what funders are doing nationwide from this discussion with demographer Leo Estrada, Associate Professor at UCLA, and a panel of local and national funders including Tara Sandercock, HIP board member and Vice President of The Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro; and Cristóbal J. Alex, Program Officer for Democratic Participation at The Ford Foundation.
