💡 Did you know that 23.1% of the sector's professionals identify as having a disability, according to CHANGE Philanthropy's 2022 Diversity Among Philanthropic Professionals Report? Creating space to share any access needs as you check in can build a more inclusive experience for everyone in the room. Not everyone may share, and that's okay! Simply providing the option helps value and destigmatize access. Check out Audrey King's recommended check-in question for your next meeting. 💬 Sources: Change Philanthropy - https://lnkd.in/egcvu8Bu Disability Intersectionality Summit - https://lnkd.in/eJVSq7Pn

Former Small Business owerner Currently a Volunteer Crisis Counselor working to save one life at a time
I have some more data about Suicide, Suicide Prevention, and the ASFP to share. To motivate you to share too and I hope donate to my Walk Page. October 6, 2024 is the NYC Chapter Out of Darkness Walk. It will start the NYC Seaport Pier 16 & 17 in the Seaport District. The event opens at 10AM. The walk starts at 11:30AM AFSP is the largest private funder of suicide prevention research. Much of what is known about suicide today comes from AFSP funded studies. Research priority areas include diversity, technological tools for suicide prevention, and survivors of suicide loss. School programs: It’s Real (middle school, high school & college); More Than Sad (school staff & parents). Community programs: Talk Saves Lives – an introductory suicide prevention presentation. Modules available for LGBTQ+ Communities, Black/African American Communities, Latinx & Hispanic Communities, Seniors, Workplaces, Correction Facilities, the Construction Industry,and Firearm Owners. I have given the School and Community Programs and they are smart, powerful, and make a difference. If you're in NYC let me know if your organization, school, or community center would be interested in a program presentation. #suicide, #suicideprevention,
Please support the New York City Walk this fall to help #stopsuicide

Disability comes in all shapes and sizes, each with its own set of challenges. But despite this diversity, the sad commonality witnessed all across the globe remains same, EXCLUSION. Exclusion from festivals, exclusion from concerts, exclusion from mainstream opportunities, education, health and the list goes on. Exclusion is deeply rooted in the society. The uncomfortable and judgmental looks remain timeless. This universal exclusion calls for a united response. Let’s aim for a society that sees the inherent worth and potential in every individual. Let’s make Diversity the norm. Join Anchal Charitable Trust in our mission of inclusion! #disabilityrights #inclusion

Caring for Denver Foundation announced more than $11.4 million in funding to community-based nonprofits that will fill gaps in mental health and substance misuse care, especially surrounding the need for a more diverse, accessible, and intentional workforce. The goal is to meet Denver’s higher demand for inclusive access to behavioral health care with services that reflect and affirm individuals’ needs and identities, while also supporting care providers. “There is a higher demand for services that are relevant and accessible to our communities’ cultures and experiences,” said Lorez Meinhold, the foundation’s executive director. “These funded programs will increase connections and belonging and provide more care in trusted spaces, creating safe spaces for older adults, veterans, and diverse communities to heal in.” The funding expands access to care for people of color, people experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity, people within the LGBTQ+ community, immigrants, and survivors of sexual assault, among others. It also includes funding to support care provider resiliency and training for community mental health providers, including direct clinical care and peer support. Grantees are funded under Caring for Denver Foundation’s community-identified funding area, Community-Centered Solutions, outlined here: https://lnkd.in/gHSecNV8

This is a bit of a vulnerable share. Two dozen years ago, after the San Francisco Chronicle wrote a cover story on me nearly outing my birth name, I swore I would never agree to be publicly interviewed again about being trans. That changed a couple of years ago, as the politics in this country began to shift toward more to the right, and my community came under increasing threat. However, while I’ve posted here and there about my life, I have never agreed to an actual full sit-down interview before, until now. What changed was that I met Jay Frost. Jay first interviewed me a year ago about our strategic use of AI at Larkin Street, helping raise nearly $13M last year to end youth homelessness. I found him to be a thoughtful interviewer whose insightful questions not only brought out the best in me but also helped connect the dots in a way that made the conversation valuable to others. So when he asked me a few weeks ago to be interviewed about my life as one of the very few trans development professionals working in the U.S., it was easy to say yes to him. I must admit, however, that sharing that full interview with you (and all of LinkedIn) here still feels a little vulnerable. I told him things that most of my friends, and even some of my closest family members, don’t know about me -- but know you can. So if you do take a listen, my only request is to listen to the end because I don’t think you’ll fully understand me if you don’t. And if you do take that time, thank you. I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. Finally, if my journey inspires you in any way, please consider sharing it with your network. Together, this of all weeks, let’s build a world filled with more love. #Inclusion #Authenticity #Fundraising #SocialImpact #TransRights
