If you caught my talk at MAICON this past week, you know that I mentioned Baypath Humane Society as an organization that benefits from #AI and efficiencies in their operations. 95% of their funding comes from public donations. They have outgrown their current facility and are looking ahead to what's next. To get there, they still need support from volunteers, donors, the dedicated staff, and you. As a volunteer I can say first hand that the space they currently occupy is incredibly cramped, but somehow they manage to make it work. If you want to learn more, please check out this video. If you are interested in getting involved, give me a shout 🐶 #MAICON #AI #Volunteer #changemanagement https://lnkd.in/ecvb7cqu

$75 million can go a long way to train and employ the chronically unemployed and prevent or end their homelessness. It can work wonders in research to improve the cognitive health of seniors, and be put to work to end the trafficking of children. I believe that it is time for charitable foundations to review their priorities and to consider reprioritizing their funding to have greater positive impact on improving the human condition. I am not suggesting that "The Arts" are not important and worthy of support. They are! But consider this... Those who are jobless, poverty stricken, homeless, suffering with Alzheimer's or another life-altering condition are not likely to enjoy museums and The Arts. I believe that this is the time to reprioritize! I do understand that many foundations are structured with guidelines and funding priorities set in place by their founding donor(s). Even then, many of these foundations can find and encourage programming that improves access to those who are dependent on vital human services. How about funding for entry fees and bus transportation for families and individuals wanting to visit and benefit from museums and other nonprofit arts and historical institutions? #charitablefoundations #nonprofits #humanservices #foundationgrants #grants

What do storm drains have to do with art? In Muskegon, they’re becoming canvases for change. Our Storm Drain Mural Program is mobilizing local artists to transform these often-overlooked spaces into vibrant, thought-provoking works of art. Because these murals aren’t just pretty to look at.
