Alongside other NC3 Board Members, Jenan Jondy participated in SuperCrowd24. Jenan is the REI Coordinator at MSU Center for Community & Economic Development and was on the panel titled 'How Higher Education can Support Small and Medium Enterprises.' Her key takeaways from the event last week were: (1) economic development should not be uniform across communities, (2) there is a great need for resource connectors: in some communities we are resource rich, outreach/network poor, and (3) greater need to educate those in the field on distressed communities What were your SuperCrowd24 reflections?

The Trust for Civic Life and $8 million to fund civic participation in rural communities are examples of what philanthropy can accomplish when funders work together. That was the goal when Stephen Heinz, president of Rockefeller Brothers Fund, asked Carnegie Corporation of New York to join a funder collaborative a year ago, resulting in an early commitment of $3.5 million from the foundation. Today the collaborative has 15 funders. The Trust’s work is grounded in research that was funded by philanthropy and conducted by the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. Its report titled "Our Common Purpose" made a strong impression. It provides pragmatic, nonpartisan approaches to countering mistrust and division in our society. A second round of grants to support civic entrepreneurs is planned for later this year, and if all goes as planned, the collaborative will invest $50 million over the next five years. https://lnkd.in/ebyPnCVt
We are proud to support a new grantmaking collaborative investing in local communities as a path to a healthier democracy. Today, the Trust for Civic Life awarded $8 million to 20 “civic hubs,” local groups in rural communities that are tackling important regional issues, bridging differences, and drawing residents back into civic life in creative ways.

This is a day of reflection on the truths of history. It is also a day to focus on what moves us forward. Implementing UNDRIP is one very important step in moving us to true reconciliation. But implementation is about actions, not merely words.
On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Fasken wishes to honour the survivors of residential schools, the children that were lost, their families and communities, and express our solidarity with Indigenous communities across Canada. Fasken recognizes the importance of acknowledging and addressing the tragic history, and ongoing impacts, of residential schools. Our firm remains committed to reconciliation by listening to our Indigenous communities, educating ourselves on their histories and lived realities, expanding our initiatives, and strengthening our partnerships with Indigenous communities. Learn more about our ongoing efforts towards reconciliation: https://lnkd.in/gSwsfWAe
