It's #opensourcecreative time. The embryonic thought on this came out of an abortive concept for the SIS Pitches brand refresh I'm working on. Introducing Strata Base (beta).* A future-forward display font, inspired by spending too much of my childhood watching sci-fi. In space, no-one can hear you kern. Full character set available in TrueType and WOFF at iamsteve.uk/osc As usual, free-to-use for charities and non-profits. Consider a donation to Surfers Against Sewage if used in any for-profit endeavours. *This is the first font I've followed through to this stage, so I'm calling it a beta version. Please don't expect perfection, type nerds. Feedback welcomed. #type #typography #customtype #customfont #fontdesign #opensource #nonprofit #donate #saveouroceans #saveourrivers

On average, 1,000 students per school view our ArtScreens for 30 minutes a day. The charitable purpose of ART IN SCHOOLS is 'Great art for all children, all the time.' #artinschools #sensationsart #arteducation #artmuseums #digitalart

I promise I'll post about my actual job (we have a new video to share about Mainframe mod and GenAI!) but as summer winds to a close I wanted to share a charity opportunity related to Golf: https://lnkd.in/g2i6mqfG Ultimately this is about helping kids lead healthier lives and is related to the amazing work that Jack and Barbara Nicklaus have done across the world to help kids heal and thrive with their Play Yellow initiative. My Wife Ashley and her colleague Kelli are going to play 72 holes of golf in one day and they are going to make it rain birdies. If you have a bit of a gambling mindset, you can make a donation based on the number of birdies they're going to make. You can also make an up-front donation. Note that this is focused on Colorado - ask your local pro if something is happening near you! Why is this on LinkedIn? Two reasons - first - this is really the only social media I do. I do so little I don't know if this actually counts as social media. Second - having married a professional golfer I've learned a lot about golf that has surprised me. Watching Ashley and her friends and colleagues navigate a male-dominated world (5% of PGA professionals are women. 5%!) is in many ways a clearer lens to the same challenges we see in technology. The backlash we've seen in some pockets of the world against fostering inclusion - one person's opinion here - ignores the reality that a diversity of thought and opinion makes teams better. Here's a golf example - when you're taking a golf lesson, you are incredibly vulnerable and it can be intimidating - no single approach works for everyone. Finding a coach that resonates with you (and this can be especially hard for women coming to the game, or children wanting to learn) is critical to your experience. There is not a long line to draw between this phenomenon and what we see in technology as leaders, mentors and peers. Also, golf is fundamentally a game of integrity - I've seen remarkable examples of leadership and integrity on the course (look up "Sahith Theegala penalty" for an unbelievable example recently) and again it reminds me of all the things we try to do as leaders and professionals in business. I've always liked the phrase "integrity is what happens when no one is looking" and if golf can help me and others to model that, there's more to the game than I thought. Let me close by saying - for those in the Northern Hemisphere - enjoy the last gasps of summer, whatever brings you outside to do so!

What does your grant application and Michelangelo's 'David' have in common?... They are both works of art 🖼 To the untrained eye, a well-written grant application might seem like just that. But behind the final piece there is a whole craft that's gone into it. You see, for me, the writing process - whether it's for a grant application or something else - is like a sculpture. First you bash out the main shape. It doesn't look like anything yet, but you've got all of the materials there, out of your head and ready to work with. Next, you need to refine the shape - make sure you argument is going where it's meant to and that everything flows. You can see it coming together now. So this is when you get out those finer tools and carve out the details. Slowly, and carefully you bring those words into count, hit the target points, and shape and polish your answers to perfection. #Fundraising #GrantWriting #Charity #Nonprofit

There are 3 main reasons to donate a vehicle to Miles Through Time Automotive Museum 1) Tax write-off. The museum is a 501c3 nonprofit and for some lowering their taxable income is more valuable than the car. 2) The vehicle being donated is sentimental and the donor wants to share the vehicle and the story with people from all over the world. 3) The donor doesn’t need or want the vehicle and chooses to help support the museum by donating it. This can be for display or to sell to raise funds for the museum. If you want to help support the museum by donating a vehicle go to https://lnkd.in/gn3myp6r

Did you know nearly one-third of solo shows in US museums go to artists represented by just five galleries? So why does diversity matter? Diversity is like a breath of fresh air in a stuffy room. It brings new ideas, new perspectives, and new ways of seeing the world. It challenges us to think differently, to question our assumptions, and to open our minds and our hearts to new possibilities. Diversity isn't just good for artists, it's good for all of us. When we embrace diversity in the art world, we're not just enriching our cultural landscape, we're building a more inclusive, more vibrant society for everyone. That's why ODBK matters, that's why your donation and your support are paramount now more than ever. #ODBK #nonprofit #contemporaryart #fyp #donate #diversitymatters #DiversityAndInclusion

You know your prospect gives to higher education and art museums but you can’t find any evidence of it. How is that possible? When meeting a new prospect, it’s quite exhilarating to find out that they are philanthropic and have given generously to other organizations. Perhaps the prospect will be interested in focusing some of that #philanthropy towards your organization. But occasionally, #fundraisingprofessionals may find a gap between what the prospect says and what is publicly available.  👇 check out the full blog here: https://lnkd.in/ee_VAAD7 #DAF, #donoradvisedfund, #donorresearch, #findinggiving, #foundations, #givingsearch, #majorgift, #majorgiftprospect, #prospectresearch
