🌟Midweek Memories: Our 10 Year Story Today we are looking back to our first Future 21 Conference, held on 15 & 16 September 2016. The Future 21 Conference was held in partnership with ANU Crawford School of Public Policy, and explored the pressing challenges for Australia in the 21st Century, through issues-based sessions & practical workshops. With addresses from leading policy thinkers, including Emeritus Professor Paul Dibb, and a keynote speech from the Head of the National Security College at ANU, Professor Rory Medcalf AM, it was truly an event to be remembered!

Our board chair Stan McChrystal spoke about the value of national service and its ability to bridge America's divides on CBS Sunday Morning today: "Young Americans come together for a year or two and work together in efforts as varied as health care, education, conservation, the military or other community projects. ...They work alongside other young Americans, serving fellow citizens and learning about each other and themselves. So how could this work? First it exists today in the many programs like AmeriCorps, City Year, and AmeriCorps VISTA but needs to be expanded. A public-private partnership providing a central funding for stipends and other needs, creating programs and opportunities, and establishing a set of supporting policies like educational grants and job placements for national service veterans is needed. It costs money and it takes effort, but the benefits of producing better citizens who are more connected to each other is worth any amount and the time to get serious is now." We are proud to be working to expand and enhance existing #nationalservice programs to bring this inspiring vision to life and make national service part of growing up in America. https://lnkd.in/eYSe9xHC

Schedule your appointment here: https://lnkd.in/gGjSeWaX Introducing The Sailor Justice Project In a world where resources often remain out of reach for marginalized communities, The Sailor Justice Project stands tall with a unique mission - to utilize grant writing as a potent tool for social justice. Our mission is clear: "To use Grant Writing as my Social Justice Quirk." Through this, we envision a brighter future where businesses, particularly those championing social justice causes, can thrive and contribute to economic growth. Our vision? "To increase access to equitable funding for businesses at the intersection of social justice and economic growth through grant writing, grant education, and global community building." But why was this project founded? At the heart of it all, we recognized the transformative power of equitable funding. We saw the potential for grants to bridge the chasm of economic disparity and the opportunity to foster global communities that understand and support each other's causes. And as we work towards this vision, we live by our values: Social, Economical, and Racial Justice - Our foundation. We demand a world where everyone, regardless of their background, is treated fairly and has equal opportunities. Global Inclusion and Belonging - We create spaces where everyone feels they belong, transcending borders and cultural divides. Human Rights Advocacy - Our commitment to championing the rights of all, ensuring that every voice is heard and respected. Language Equity - 우리는 언어의 평등을 믿습니다. We believe in the power of words, and everyone's right to be heard in their own tongue. Mental Health as Community Health - We affirm that the mental well-being of one affects the whole. A community thrives when its individuals are mentally healthy. Leadership with Abundance and Care - In all our endeavors, we lead with generosity, ensuring that there's plenty for all and that every action is rooted in care. In a rallying cry to all those who share our vision and values, we proudly declare: “An #Army changing the world one grant at a time.” Join us, be part of this global army, and let's transform communities through equitable funding.

The full and final version of the #JusticeVisions conference program is now available online. We will focus on how victims navigate participation eco-systems in their struggle for accountability, truth, repair, non-recurrence, memorialization, redress, and disruption of a harmful status quo. The conference will bring together scholars and practitioners working on topics related to justice-seeking trajectories of conflict-affected individuals and groups, from the Global South and North.

It's Monday! Time for an episode of Radio Free 501c brought to you by Rogue Tulips Consulting. As nonprofit management professionals, we are aware of the "3 Duties": Care, Loyalty, and Obedience. These should guide the work and decision making of any Board of Directors, but there is a 4th Duty to consider: The Duty of Foresight. Foresight is the act of looking ahead, anticipating environmental factors, and setting the stage for a future where your successors can thrive and find success. My guest, Jeff De Cagna, FASAE, is an expert on this topic and is celebrating the 10th Anniversary of when he first named it and starting his work in this area. Foresight is a choice, but Jeff makes the argument that it is necessary. We talk about orthodoxy and how established beliefs can get in the way of putting foresight into practice, and why we need it in an age of artificial intelligence. The work of today's board is built on yesterday's accomplishments, and the future board will base its work on today. Listen to this in-depth conversation to learn more about the need for foresight and its long-term implications for nonprofit organizations. Does your organization practice foresight?
