At CSF, funding decisions are driven by our Community Impact Framework—crafted WITH partners—to ensure that Jackson County’s community's dollars create the healthiest, most meaningful impact for our kids. Our framework is guided by five foundational attributes: 1️⃣ Equitable Access: Every child deserves access to support. 2️⃣ Individualized Approach: Championing innovative and tailored solutions. 3️⃣ Evidence-based Work: Investing in strategies backed by proven success. 4️⃣ Representation: Ensuring children see and hear from diverse voices. 5️⃣ Collaboration: Fostering partner connections to amplify impact. These rigorous standards uphold the integrity of our mission to strengthen organizations and equip them to expand their reach as they work to help #JacksonCountyKids thrive. #CommunityImpact #KidsMentalHealth

Product meets advocacy 🤝 We're live https://lnkd.in/en-CMXq2 The multidisciplinary team I was in last year spent a lot of time working with advocacy colleagues. We were moving off of legacy tech, and excited for the opportunities that brought both teams. Advocacy can require creating a sense of what is happening right now. We wanted to create a presence that allows colleagues to convey what's important to know now, but also create a solid foundation to adapt and iterate on in future. Product teams and advocacy teams can have different approaches to work, tools and indicators of success. Key to this work was crafting outcomes to unite on, so that we can provide frontline insight to users. Safe to say I learnt a lot throughout last year, so much of that is thanks to colleagues creating space to talk through the perspective they brought to the table. Whilst I'm not on this team anymore, I'm so excited for us to carry these learnings throughout our work and see how our public digital presence develops.

Feeling grateful for the amazing community we've built. Have you ever felt like you belonged somewhere? Read our latest blog post to discover how community can heal and support.

Link in bio. MADRVA provides mutual aid services in Richmond through a free community market and a mini-grants program, prioritizing marginalized and vulnerable groups. 25% of the coloring pages proceeds will go towards funding a MADRVA mini-grant. Let's sell 100 affirmation pages and get this mini-grant funded! 23 sold, 77 to go. Link in bio.

🌟 Exciting Board Opportunity Alert! 🌟 Are you passionate about making a tangible difference in the lives of our youth? Do you believe in the power of active living, combating obesity, and fostering environments where bullying is a thing of the past? If your heart just said “Yes!”, then the Heal Foundation (The Non-Profit of Fitness Finders) might just have the perfect opportunity for you! We’re on the lookout for vibrant, committed individuals to join our Board, people who are not just advocates for healthy living but are ready to lead the charge in creating a brighter, healthier future for our children. 🏃♂️💪 Did you know? According to the CDC, the prevalence of obesity was 19.3% among youth aged 2-19 in recent years. That’s about 14.4 million kids facing higher risks of chronic health conditions. Equally alarming, reports indicate that around 20% of students nationwide experience bullying. These aren’t just numbers; they’re calls to action. The Heal Foundation is dedicated to turning the tide by supporting schools with programs like Mileage Club and EZ Scan, especially those that lack the funding to kickstart these initiatives. But we can’t do it alone. We need YOU! 🚀 What We’re Looking For: A passion for physical fitness and healthy living. A believer in the importance of youth activity and anti-bullying programs. A knack for fundraising and a desire to make a real impact in communities. Someone who wants to see their efforts materialize into programs that empower our youth. 💖 This is more than a board position; it’s a chance to be part of a movement. A movement towards healthier, happier, and safer environments for our children to grow up in. If this speaks to your heart, reach out! Let’s make a difference together. Know someone perfect for this position? Tag them or share this post to spread the word! Let's not just dream of a better future for our kids; let's roll up our sleeves and make it happen. Together, we can create waves of change that ripple through generations to come. 🌊❤️ #HealFoundation #YouthEmpowerment #HealthyLiving #JoinUs #MakeADifference #BeTheChange www.healfoundation.net Scott Sundberg Rich Fairbanks Joey Neal Rachel Millman

Progress, progress and onwards. 🙌🙌🙌Exciting times for mainstreaming good engagement practice. My biggest takeaways from the session were that a. cultural change at pace needs briefs,policies and contracts that require engagement processes and outcomes to measure up well against the #8COPStandards ….b. good engagement practice in place-based design and planning processes is everyone’s business. That’s the only way a good engagement lead can deliver a good process, good impact and good outcomes! And c. We should ensure dialogue tools in the toolkit support fun, creativity and positive co-creation platforms. Watch this space! 💫
