📉 Major news out of Dallas: one of the city's largest providers of homeless services is closing its doors by the end of 2024. They stretched too far during COVID, and now we’re seeing the consequences. This isn't just a one-off incident – it’s a warning for all nonprofits. The forecasted 7% growth in giving for 2024 is highly optimistic; we’ll be lucky to see 2%. It's time to get real. We can't keep placing unrealistic expectations on fundraisers, especially during a recession. Let's focus on what’s achievable and sustainable in these challenging times. Nonprofits need practical strategies, not pie-in-the-sky goals. If a major player in Dallas can fall, any of us could be next. Let's learn from this and plan smarter for the future. 💡 https://lnkd.in/gx_-TJfY #NonprofitLife #FundraisingRealities #SustainableGrowth #NonprofitLeadership #Fundraising #NonprofitFundraising

We need more people thinking deeply about how to care for people in need and dignified ways of doing it. True Charity is one of those organizations that I really resonate with, and the thought leadership they are putting out on the topic is top notch. This is a great article about the downsides of federal funding for nonprofits that touches on the philosophical as well as the practical. Bearings does not take government funding at any level and always proud to share that. This is worth a read! https://lnkd.in/grcaWTSt

People often don't realize that preschoolers can face the same structural and cultural inequities as their parents. Did you know that across the country, Black boys are disenrolled from preschool programs at a rate three times higher than their peers? Or that disenrolled preschoolers are ten times more likely to grow into teenagers who drop out of high school or become incarcerated? It was with these troubling statistics in mind that we applied to the York County Community Foundation to receive their Racial Equity Grant. With these funds we're able to incorporate the evidence-based best practices which work to correct these unacceptable inequities and create a York County where even our youngest citizens can thrive.
It is with heaps of gratitude that we're able to announce that we are the recipient of a Racial Equity grant from the York County Community Foundation. Working in partnership with YCCF allows us to better deliver on our commitment to providing equitable access to high-quality early childhood education. Through elevated staffing levels, the use of evidence-based best practices, and one-on-one relationship building with parents, we are ensuring each student is given the opportunity to thrive at York Day. Thank you, York County Community Foundation! #gratitude #grant #philanthropy #yorkpa #centralpa #childcare #earlychildhoodeducation #yorkday #nonprofit

In nonprofit work, the challenges are many. But how can we take each challenge and recognize it as a stepping stone to be prepared for the next (inevitable) challenge that comes our way??? Hiver Grace Julius Ssembatya's words remind us of the resilience required in the nonprofit world. The path is never easy, but it is always rewarding. In his work at GRM, every difficulty faced by the team transforms into a lesson in growth and adaptation. Whether it’s navigating the complexities of resource allocation or enhancing community programs, each challenge is met with the courage to improve and the wisdom to evolve. Challenges matter - not only for learning but often acting as a litmus test to our commitments to this work Challenges prepare us - for bigger battles and greater opportunities to make an impact. The role of peer support while we navigate challenges in nonprofits is invaluable. As Grace emphasizes, it's not just about leading; it's about learning from others, sharing experiences, and growing together. What's the biggest challenge you've overcome in your nonprofit journey, and what did it teach you? ______________________________________ Grace is the founder and Executive Director of GRM (GrassRoots Ministry) - a social enterprise dedicated to empowering rural youth in Uganda and beyond. GRM’s mission is to raise awareness about the vulnerable situation of rural youth and equip them with the skills and resources needed to become economically independent, self-determined, and able to advocate for their rights.

The MacArthur Foundation today announced the third installment of its global 100&Change competition. The Foundation is adding a requirement that applicants address how the project will advance diversity, equity, and inclusion. This criterion aligns with the Foundation’s Just Imperative. According to its press release, "[t]he competition is unique because no field or problem area is designated, unlike most prizes and challenges, and proposals from all sectors and anywhere in the world are encouraged. To date, 100&Change has leveraged an additional $511 million in funding, spurring the philanthropic sector to rethink its approach to achieving impact at scale." "In the inaugural round of 100&Change, Sesame Workshop and International Rescue Committee were awarded $100 million to educate young children displaced by conflict and persecution in the Syrian response region. . . . In 2021, in the second round of 100&Change, MacArthur awarded a $100 million grant to Community Solutions to accelerate an end to homelessness in 75 U.S. communities in five years.

Today, Mayor Rilling and Lamond Daniels the City’s Chief of Community Services announced this year's recipients of the Norwalk Mini-Grant Program. This program is funded by the City's operational budget and administered by the Community Services Department. Thirteen organizations were selected because their efforts significantly benefit our community. This program supports lower-cost projects from each selected nonprofit and helps the City better understand the needs of smaller organizations, build partnerships, and highlight their contributions to our residents. The selected organizations benefit our community through an array of incredible work, including literacy initiatives, such as providing books and literacy training, mental health initiatives through suicide prevention programs, health and nutrition initiatives that enhance farmers' market visibility and assist food-insecure residents, social programs that address loneliness and social isolation, arts access initiatives that expand access for underserved families, drug prevention initiatives that enhance education and awareness to students, youth mentorship initiatives that focus on helping minority youth, technology education initiatives focused on assisting young girls to focus on app development and access free in-person ESL classes. The awarded recipients include: Courage to Speak Foundation East Norwalk Improvement Association Elm Village Faith Lighthouse Restoration Ministry First Congregational Church of Norwalk Horizons at CT State Norwalk Norwalk Early Childhood Collaborative/Norwalk Early Childhood Office Norwalk Symphony Orchestra Recovery Innovations for Pursuing Peer Leadership and Empowerment (RIPPLE) Saturday Academy Share the Hour SOAR Together Trust the Process, Co. This year's program will grant awards ranging between $3,600 to $10,000, with a total distribution of $100,000. Eligible organizations needed an annual operating budget of less than $1,000,000. The City has a very thorough review process that included Fairfield County's Community Foundation, that served as the expert review panel for the application process. The review process involved careful consideration, which included eligibility, conformity with grant guidelines, available funds, the amount needed to achieve the desired results, and program priorities. The Norwalk Mini-Grant Program is now in its second year, and Mayor Rilling thanked Lamond Daniels and AnaVivian Estrella, his Director of Human Services, for their leadership in managing this program. @cityofnorwalk @norwalk_ct #CityofNorwalk #NorwalkforBusiness #NonprofitOrganizations #MiniGrants
