Brave, bold and daring ... the new US group challenging charities' bad press | Voluntary Sector Network | The Guardian

Brave, bold and daring ... the new US group challenging charities' bad press | Voluntary Sector Network | The Guardian: "Pallotta feels that umbrella organisations such as Independent Sector and Council on Foundations have legitimate roles, but believes the US sector is “missing some functions”. Established in 2013, CDC’s mission is to defend the work of US charities by countering negative press, positively promoting the sector and providing a legal defence fund.

The Massachusetts-based CDC threw its first punch as a charity “anti-defamation force” in August, with the issue of a media advisory criticising US news organisations ProPublica and NPR over their investigation of the American Red Cross’s reconstruction activities in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake."
