As the summer continues to remain warmer than usual, Denver is taking action to combat the heat. To help create actionable solutions to address extreme heat, the city held "heat summits." These meetings included city employees, nonprofit leaders, and community advocates. This series not only helped engage the community in our efforts but allowed our office to: • Talk to affected Denverites • Discuss what is being done and what we plan to do • Collect new ideas to help us boost our solutions Read more about these summits: https://bit.ly/3Z2R0zb

MA Early Childhood Funder Collaborative Director; Passionate about helping our youngest grow and thrive
Congratulations to Vetto Casado, the Shifting Power, Advancing Justice team, and all at The Boston Foundation for this tremendous work. And thanks to Vetto to posing great questions in his reflection. They are for all of us in #philanthropy to consider - here are some modifications for me, relevant to my work in the Massachusetts Early Childhood Funder Collaborative: * How can we collectively position ourselves and leverage our resources to ensure our work hits its substantial potential? * How do we come together as a collective? What is the cadence? And how do we ask the right questions going forward? * How can we support the table setting? How can we bring chairs - and tables - that we don't occupy, but to allow others immersed in the work to construct a vision and definition of success that we can then support?
This month, TBF proudly announced the first six brilliant nonprofit leaders who will partner with us in "Shifting Power, Advancing Justice," a $4 million commitment to support community leaders and their organizations with unrestricted, wellness, technical assistance and emergency support. For SPAJ Director Vetto Casado, it's the realization of an opportunity that began more than 4 years ago - and a connection to an idea that began to take shape in his mother's hair salon in Chelsea.

What local issues do the nonprofit partners in Spur Local's 2024 Class work to address? Short answer: Everything! Many of these issues are inter-connected. This year's community-based organizations preserve and elevate stories of local history, equip the next generation to be engaged civic leaders, cultivate vibrant regional food systems, and directly provide services and support across our region. Together, they work holistically to make Greater Washington more equitable, reminding us that collaboration strengthens our collective impact.

Almost all decisions can be improved/refined with data and analytics - here’s a great resource to start building a data strategy for your organization!
You're a nonprofit leader, and maybe data isn't your org's strong suit. Consider this post your official invitation - On Tuesday, I'll be presenting to a room full of Executive Directors on what they need to know about data strategy. I'll be taking questions afterwards, too. It's free game (🎁✨️), and with such a supportive group of people to learn alongside you. The Forum for Innovative Nonprofit Development (FIND) is a program of the Ohio Association of Nonprofit Organizations and the Columbus Metropolitan Library - I'm so thankful they saw a need in the community and came together to serve it! Special thanks to Mark A. Cardwell for the invitation to speak!
