"Invisibility is a thread that ties Ultragenyx and Ritter Center together. People living with rare diseases can feel like they are not worth the time and energy of finding a treatment.

Read more about the exceptional employee volunteerism, financial contributions, and steadfast support of Ritter Center's mission that Ultragenyx has provided.

Listen to the latest Mpact Podcast episode to hear the Opening Plenary at #MpactPHX. Jon Ford, Senior Regional Field Manager for Community Development with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco leads a conversation about the connections between transit, housing and health, with Debarati "Mimi" Majumdar Narayan PhD, Health Programs Officer at The Pew Charitable Trusts and John Vu, Vice President of Strategy for Community Health at Kaiser Permanente. The speakers highlight examples of collaboration across these sectors, with examples from Phoenix, Charlotte and the Purple Line Coalition in Maryland. And they spotlight tools, such as Health Impact Assessments and Community Health Needs Assessments, that can be a basis for aligning policy, projects and resources to achieve healthier communities. Did you know: - Every nonprofit hospital system must do an assessment every three years of the community health needs in the footprint around its hospital. Kaiser Permanente has 47 of these reports. - There are 445 Health Impact Assessments, of which more than 200 are on transportation decisions. - A joint study by public health and transportation officials in Charlotte, NC, found that after light rail opened the average rider lost 6.45 pounds. A similar study in Salt Lake City found that people who stopped riding light rail gained weight. Tune into Episode 75: Health in All Places at https://lnkd.in/eDb_Xa-e.

Inventors & Designers spend their lives identifying ‘Needs & Trends’ …. In the for-profit sector it’s called ‘market-making’. Whereas , in the non-profit industry there is a chance to leverage insights AHEAD of the ‘problems’ that they usually are called upon to ‘clean up’ . A million dollars properly leveraged can have a greater impact in the non-profit sector than the in the for-profit one . For-Profit efforts focus narrowly on return-on-investments ; Non-Profits can excel at demonstrable return-on-ideas where the former would fail ….. to scale creative solutions to identifiable trends.

We're shifting how we show up as a funder. We're no longer searching for bright ideas from other communities to implement. Instead, we're starting with listening to communities in our region working on their own solutions and then working alongside them to build community power and agency. The approach is rooted in community and backed by the experience of other philanthropic funds. Learn more about this power building approach to health equity in this case study: https://lnkd.in/gSshqgTM

#USA 🇺🇸: Delighted to join my fellow Evaluation Panel Reviewers for the Yield Giving Open Call & members of the Lever for Change network in sharing and amplifying the following exciting news: Today, MacKenzie Scott’s Yield Giving announced that 361 organizations are receiving $640 million for their work with people and in places experiencing the greatest need in the United States. This cohort of 361 outstanding teams from 38 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico will enable individuals and families to achieve substantive improvement in their well-being through foundational resources. These community-led, community-focused organizations work in urban and rural settings, with individuals of all ages, focusing on a wide range of issues. Yet, they share a common sense of purpose: the Open Call awardees are all making positive change in their communities by reducing disparities in economic outcomes, education, health, and other critical issues. The Open Call received 6,353 applications and initially planned for 250 awards of $1 million each. In the Fall of 2023, organizations top-rated by their peers advanced to a second round of review by an external Evaluation Panel recruited for experience relevant to this cause, and underwent a final round of due diligence. In light of the incredible work of these organizations, as judged by their peers and external panelists, the donor team decided to expand the awardee pool and the award amount. The 279 organizations in the top tier of scores will receive $2 million each, and the 82 organizations in the next tier will receive $1 million each. Congratulations to all of the awardees!

It is no secret the business of health care is experiencing one of its most tumultuous times in history. There is no shortage of reports on the challenging financial health care marketplace. This creates complexities for the C-Suite, challenging them to successfully operate and navigate through the tumult while also staying true to their organizations’ missions, values and visions. In times of uncertainty and financial challenges, campaigns are a crucial lifeline for organizations seeking to sustain their missions and serve their communities’ health needs. These times also create challenges in building and launching large-scale philanthropy efforts.

Non-profits are dedicated to noble causes, ranging from addressing climate change and promoting social justice to empowering women and advancing education. Despite their significant societal impact, these organizations often operate with limited resources and staff. This limitation can profoundly affect various aspects of their operations, including fundraising, compliance, public relations, and more. Generative AI empowers non-profit teams, improves operational efficiency, and maximizes resource utilization. It enables organizations to make data-driven decisions, enhance their outreach and communication efforts, and ultimately magnify their impact on the causes they hold dear. In this thought-provoking article, Mani Padisetti, COO, vCIO, and Co-Founder, Digital Armour Corporation, delves into the transformative potential of generative AI and how it serves as a game-changer for non-profits.

Making a difference in DEIB through evidence-based storytelling | Data Analytics | Program Management
Community impact and engagement are at the core of driving positive changes. Enhancing economic development, improving education and healthcare, promoting inclusivity, and supporting charitable causes all contribute significantly to making a difference. Engaging the community empowers citizens, ensures meaningful project impacts, and fosters innovation through diverse perspectives, nurturing a sense of belonging, support, and resilience. Removing barriers of mistrust by asking simple questions like "How can we help?" is key to successful community outreach. Advocating for inclusivity ensures equitable access to resources, especially in community health programs. Data on outcomes is fundamental to understanding the impact of partnerships on the communities and to evaluate tangible and intangible benefits, strengthening community bonds. Gathering qualitative and quantitative data provides stories that showcase genuine attempts at inclusion.

Black Men’s Health Clinic® (BMHC) would like to thank The New Philanthropists (TNP) for their incredible support in reconnecting us to one of our board members, Michael Weaver. The significance of this collaborative board identification and matching process is that people of color are often not given the opportunity, or have more challenges, to become board members of nonprofit organizations, particularly on the boards they are passionate about. TNP is changing this dilemma. TNP matched Michael to BMHC in 2023, and we are pleased that he has been matched to serve on the board for another year. Michael shares a similar sentiment as we do. He stated: "The New Philanthropists is a great organization that provides everyone an opportunity to serve in their communities with organizations that align with their passion. I'm grateful to them that they introduced me to the Black Men's Health Clinic and the amazing work they do, day in and day out." He went on further to say, "Serving on the BMHC board has been a tremendous honor and privilege that wouldn't have been possible without The New Philanthropists. The Black Men's Health Clinic is unique in its focus to support Black and Brown men with issues related to health; it's critical work, and they're doing an amazing job." Again, thank you, The New Philanthropists. Your support is a testament to your dedication to equity. Together, we're making a difference in the community.
