I’ve been exploring how data shows up in other fields to compare it with corporate social impact data. ⏭ My observations contribute to Debunking or questioning some best practices 🤔 And Reinforcing others. 🏅 Reading about Mackenzie Scott’s latest round of giving isn’t far outside of corporate social impact. The story is told using big numbers. The big numbers are supplemented by examples of specific grantees giving the specifics of their work. That sounds pretty familiar. 😊 CNN / Business Insider / AP articles $ given ($640 million) # organizations applied (6,000) # organizations in top tier scores(279), $2M each # of organizations next tier (82), $1M each $ B, Scott’s fortune (36.2) $ given last year or last round $ budget to eligible ($1M and $5M) Similar to the incredible spike in some organizations' budgets in 2016, I'm curious how we will look back on Yield Giving's effects five years from now. 🔮 In the majority, the nonprofit sector responds to the issues created by our faulty and harmful systems. Responsive action doesn't create systemic change but it does make things better for people's lives. That's why I'm hopeful to hear stories of individual's lives changing ✨ because of these massive gifts, including the nonprofit staff themselves, but do not expect stories of systems change. 🏔 #CSR #philanthropy #corporatephilanthropy #measuretomanage #DataInsights #DataforGood

Nonprofit leaders, your dedication to shape a positive future for our society truly inspires. Just like in Oklahoma, where a non-profit organization is tackling child abuse head-on. By raising awareness about neglect and maltreatment, they are breaking barriers. But the journey doesn't end here. We've heard it before, haven't we? Successful nonprofits aren't just about making change - they're about effectively spreading the word. Contrary to popular belief, marketing our cause isn't a one-size-fits-all game. It's about understanding the stories of the people we serve, creating connections, or as in Oklahoma – 'humanizing' the child abuse crisis. As leaders, let's learn from their journey. Let's educate, advocate, and collaborate our way to success. Tell your story, foster community partnerships, and engage in community outreach. Remember, you're not just building a non-profit, you're establishing hope. #NonProfitWisdom #PurposeDriven #GiveHopeDaily #ConnectCreateChange

Their mission? To fight for the welfare of children worldwide and ensure that every child knows they are not alone. 🤝 Our Responsibility: Research shows that children who have endured abuse or neglect are at risk of a range of negative outcomes. But more than statistics, it's a reminder of our collective responsibility to protect and nurture the next generation. 💙 How You Can Help: Today, let's take action.
