Rudd Center for Food Policy & Obesity — Home

 

The Rudd Center seeks to improve the world’s diet, prevent obesity, and reduce weight stigma by establishing creative connections between science and public policy, developing targeted research, encouraging frank dialogue among key constituents, and expressing a dedicated commitment to real change.

The Rudd Center assesses, critiques, and strives to improve practices and policies related to nutrition and obesity so as to inform and empower the public, to promote objective, science-based approaches to policy, and to maximize the impact on public health.

These objectives are accomplished by addressing the following:

• Economics
• Food & Addiction
• Food & Agriculture Industry
• Food Marketing to Youth
• Law, Nutrition & Obesity
• Public Policy
• Schools, Families & Communities
• Weight Bias & Stigma
  

Academic Film Archive of North America

 

The mission of The Academic Film Archive of North America is to acquire, preserve, document, and promote academic film by providing an archive, resource, and forum for continuing scholarly advancement and public exhibition.  We also  document and archive historically important films not specifically in the academic genre, including anthropological, ethnographic, and medical subjects. We also engage in special research projects, and are the only institution in the U.S. dedicated to documenting the history of this endangered film genre.  We invite you to help us to save films and provide free access to them on the Internet Archive, by nominating a film and making a donation to fund uploading it. 

AFA director Geoff Alexander's new book "Academic Films for the Classroom: A History" is now available.

Nonprofit Good Practice Guide - Home

The Nonprofit Good Practice Guide was created in 2002 with the goal of capturing, organizing, disseminating and promoting the use of knowledge in the nonprofit sector. In 2007, the site was redesigned with additional interactive features making it more intuitive and of even greater benefit. Since its inception, the Nonprofit Good Practice Guide has become an invaluable resource to users in all 50 states and over 140 countries.

The Guide is a project of the Nonprofit Leadership Institute at the Dorothy A. Johnson Center for Philanthropy & Nonprofit Leadership. In 2007, the Institute was renamed the Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow Foundation Nonprofit Leadership Institute in recognition of a generous donation from the Foundation to promote good practice throughout the nonprofit sector. This pledge of support will allow the Institute to expand and enhance current offerings and to continue its tradition of providing support, education, and information to leaders of nonprofit organizations.
