This week, we were thrilled to host our annual not-for-profit bus tour for our professional advisor leadership council members and fundholders. It was inspiring to see the work being done around homelessness and the Housing First Model by 91 Place Indy, Outreach Inc., Damien Center, and Horizon House.

Love your eye ❤️ Ainak is a Silicon Valley nonprofit, in providing free eye exams and prescription eyeglasses to the under-resourced children in California. Ainak's mission is a powerful commitment to ensuring that no child is left behind in their educational journey due to the financial constraints of their parents or guardians in affording proper eye care. We believe in providing every child with the opportunity to achieve a 20/20 vision, recognizing that this not only supports their academic success but also cultivates the confidence necessary for them to thrive in life and pursue their dreams. The statistics further underscore the urgency and significance of our mission. A staggering 62 million Americans lack access to essential eye care and eyeglasses, creating a substantial gap in addressing visual health needs. Equally concerning is the fact that over 300,000 children commence their school year each September with vision impairment, underscoring the critical nature of our work. Alarming is the diagnosis of vision impairment in 1 in 3 preschool-aged children. This statistic emphasizes the crucial role Ainak plays in intervening at an early age to prevent not only immediate hindrances to learning but also to avert potentially severe eye health problems as these children mature.

Excellent takeaways here!
If you want to support organizations that fight to support justice, then you need to give general operation support, says Darren Walker, reflecting on his tenure as president of the Ford Foundation — not “highly curated, highly programmed and designed strategic grants.” Walker joined podcast hosts Phil Buchanan and Grace Nicolette with The Center for Effective Philanthropy for a conversation about bold philanthropic leadership, inequality, and the importance of investing in institutions that fight for justice. https://bit.ly/3zwOxmo

This inspiring nonprofit was looking for a solution to refurnish their new office under a tight budget, yet they still wanted to create a warm and inviting environment for their employees and guests. AIS and OMNIA Partners, Nonprofit were able to provide them with the opportunity to purchase brand new furniture that offered substantial savings and allowed for them to stay in budget. OMNIA Partners, Nonprofit harnesses the power of cooperative purchasing to lower costs & simplify procurement decisions.
