Alexander Tarnoff, Director of Field Operations for Southeast Asia with The Asia Foundation, joined a panel on “Grantmaking Within the Legal Constraints of U.S. Foreign Policy” at the Grantmakers w/o Borders annual conference in San Francisco on June 10. As the Foundation does not operate in Burma, Mr. Tarnoff spoke from his four previous years experience as Country Representative with Save the Children in Burma on how American non-for-profit organizations can effectively deliver humanitarian aid and development assistance in compliance with restrictions imposed by US economic and diplomatic sanctions. On the panel were also two experts on development in Iraq and Palestine. To read about the Foundation’s charity affiliate, Give2Asia’s humanitarian work in Burma, click here.
