*From CSR Europe, this item that the Toyota Fund for Europe is calling for social contribution project proposals, deadline May 10th.
*The Ethical Property Company helps charities with their land lease difficulties.
*Charities in the UK are being encouraged to adopt hybrid business models to ensure their own sustainability.
*Two Harvard grads are planning to convert yak down fiber into high quality yarn.
*The Guardian profiles 10-world changing social innovations.
*A new $75 million grant from the Ford Foundation will allow 900 additional Fellows to participate in its International Fellowships Program.
*Millions in EU aid wasted in Russia and former Soviet states.
*Late April saw the first social enterprise national trade fair come to Scotland.
*This from a couple weeks back, U.S. private giving outpaces government giving abroad. Climbing to over 70 billion dollars in 2004, total non-governmental aid is now more than triple U.S. overseas development assistance (ODA).
