NEW (Nonprofit Enterprise at Work)

Financial challenges have plagued our sector for decades. We're doing our part to support organizations that want to build financial acumen and resilience. Apply for #RoadToResilience by December 2nd!

Folks, Applications for Road to Resilience are open TODAY! For too long, nonprofits have been stuck in a cycle of ‘just getting by.’ We've been scrambling for funding, working with the bare minimum, and getting used to operating in a constant state of crisis and scarcity. But what if we shift our focus and start leading from a place of abundance and resilience? Welcome to Road to Resilience! This is your go-to spot to build the financial confidence you need to lead boldly. It’s especially for those of us who might be experts in our mission but feel a bit out of our element when it comes to the numbers. Together, we’ll get rooted in equity and abundance. Apply today! https://lnkd.in/ecvkh64P

No one should have to feel alone in their work. But holding a behind-the-scenes role, like managing an organization's finances, can be lonely. It's time to break out of isolation and get energized in your work! Join NEW's Financial Services team for our next cafe conversation for finance folks across the social sector. You'll get to connect with other folks who do similar work and begin building relationships across organizations. November 12 (11/12/24) at the New Center in Ann Arbor at 10 am. RSVP today! https://lnkd.in/eknteimb

We are in the process of a $11M capital raise to completely transform the building we own and operate in Ann Arbor into a hub of social justice and transformation. We learned SO much at last year's SPRE conference all of which we could directly apply to our project. Can't recommend this event enough! If you are a space operator like us, a developer, philanthropic or government leaders, or a lender passionate about commercial space used for public good, come!

Friends, join us in celebrating our sixteenth (16) #workiversary with Yodit, NEW’s President & CEO! “Yodit’s depth of experience and her mentorship of a talented team has guided NEW through several monumental shifts in the last few years, from navigating the pandemic, to successfully overhauling NEW’s IT services and launching the NEW center transformation. She speaks truth to power, focuses NEW on values aligned work and is shifting the organization structure to reflect a sociocratic approach. Congratulations to Yodit on 16 impactful years serving NEW and its clients! I don’t think she and other non-profit CEOs get enough credit for the tireless work they do to serve their communities. Thank you, thank you, thank you!” If you’ve had the pleasure of working with Yodit over the past sixteen (16) years, please reach out and send her a kind note. We’re so glad to have you on the #bestteamever, Yodit!
