Bettendorf Community School District’s Post

If you ever participated in collegiate recovery, had a friend of loved one who was involved with collegiate recovery, or wish you or a loved one had access to a collegiate recovery program at their college or trade school, please consider making a gift to Students Recover. As the first online recovery community specifically for post-secondary students our goal is to expand access to any student in or seeking recovery from substance use and mental health issues. Help us reach our goal of expanding access to recovery. We are halfway to our goal. Every dollar brings us closer to our goal. #CollegiateRecoveryWeek #RecoveryIsPossible #Recovery #SUD #MentalHealth #StudentsRecover https://lnkd.in/dUqBZ8Qr

Helping #nonprofits demystify and secure #grants is an area I'm especially passionate about as a consultant. That made this testimonial from Zakya Gazey of PEARLS OF HOPE COMMUNITY CENTER is particularly meaningful: "Pearls has developed an amazing collaborative partnership with Nausheena at Nissa Consulting. Her dedication in building and maintaining a strong financial infrastructure within our organization was evident in all stages. I appreciate her attention to detail, her deliberate listening to understand and her innovative solutions to challenges are ingenious." A key part of our work together involved decoding the grants universe. I provided training on how foundations operate, what #funders look for, and tips for creating compelling proposals. By equipping Zakya and Pearls of Hope to pursue grants strategically, we opened up new funding possibilities for their organization. My goal is to demystify the grants process so nonprofits can fund the important work they do. I listen closely to understand each organization's specific needs and challenges. Then I offer customized #coaching and #training so they can find and win appropriate grants with confidence. If your nonprofit wants to pursue grants but finds the process opaque or intimidating, I can help. Let's have a conversation about your funding goals and how I can support your #capacity to win grant funding. I'm looking forward to learning about your work and exploring how we can partner to achieve success. https://lnkd.in/d5iaeKtG

Exciting news for charter schools in Nevada! Check out this article from the74 about how the $100M Nevada Facilities Fund is transforming charter schools in the state.

Today is Giving Tuesday, a day for radical generosity! Every $20 donation helps to provide life-changing information to one more young adult. Megan’s Foundation is a very young tax-exempt 501c(3) non-profit & catalyst for real change & are laser focused on this one thing. Those closest to this issue (Title IX, Counselors, Student Wellness staff) know how desperately this is needed. Having distributed more than $107,000 to colleges and non-profits for programs to prevent relationship violence BEFORE it starts. A few results: at one school, 93% of participants said they now can recognize an unhealthy relationship & would stop it before it escalates. At another school, 87% of young men said they would intervene in a disrespectful situation to prevent it from escalating. Our website has more results: Megansfoundation.org. YOUR gift can empower young adults to hold each other accountable & stop it before it starts!

Each of us upholds or dismantles power systems every day, like when we choose where to put our hard-earned money on #givingtuesday. In a healthy democratic system, system-level power emerges from community empowerment. On the other hand, systemic disinvestment damages the connection between community and governance, and threatens the individual's ability to survive and thrive. You know the importance of teaching youth to recognize systemic power. The crucial next step is to invite youth to respectfully interrogate and collaborate with the system that will soon be theirs. I can think of no better organization that increases our capacity for community engagement than The Global Academy for Community-Based Education. #GACBE supports students in addressing systemic challenges in their own community, teaching how to ask questions of shareholders outside the classroom, and looking for feasible community-driven solutions. It's the ultimate inquiry-driven project-based holistic learning model. This mode of discourse has the power to transform by creating new perspectives for decision-makers, building connections across sectors, and empowering the youth to envision a role in their community's future. I have the honor of serving on the board of this brand new 501c3. It has established impact and tremendous potential. Because we are a new nonprofit, your help can make a tremendous difference, whatever the amount. Please donate at https://lnkd.in/eCnWDubs. To learn more, visit www.CBEglobal.org.

✨Attention Parents! ✨ In today's world, children are encountering diverse ideologies at such an early age, including acceptance of various sexual orientations, gender identities, and expressions.
