📢Grant opportunity! 📢 ICYMI Movement Labs is granting free texts to progressive orgs in #BattlegroundStates. Sometimes, it's a dilemma. Starting the hardcore campaign too early isn't a great use of time because voters aren't paying attention yet. They'll forget by the time election day rolls around and we'll have to do it all over again anyway. On the other hand, we can't waste all that precious time between a primary and a general election. There's a lot of voter communication work to do! Movement Labs recently developed a set of recommendations for early action for November campaigns. One of them is volunteer recruitment, not just for knocking on doors later, but for building relational organizing networks and relationships now. To help organizations get started, they are offering grants of free texts for campaigns in a few battleground states. Taken from the email that landed in my inbox, here are the main criteria for winning a grant: ✔️Campaigns in the battleground states of #Arizona, #Georgia, #Michigan, #Nevada, #NorthCarolina, #Pennsylvania, and #Wisconsin. ✔️Actively recruiting volunteers to take on net vote activities like early relational growth, deep canvassing for voter reg , vote by mail sign ups, or relational adopt-a-voter, precinct captains for voter reg. ✔️Have an existing volunteer recruitment or organizing link to share ✔️Special consideration given to #BlackLed orgs!! You won't have to brace yourself for a complicated grant application. The form is pretty simple. Tagging a few people working on campaigns or organizations in the battleground states where Movement Labs is concentrating. Shanay Watson-Whittaker, Erika F. Washington, Prem R.. Atima Omara, MPA, Marvin Randolph and Fernando Cazares might know some relevant orgs. Maybe Dan Larsen will make some new friends in North Carolina who would be interested. Or his current Wisconsin friends! #CommunityOrganizing #OrganizingToWin #HowToWinEarly #MovementLabs #Grants #SharingResources

Excited to share a meaningful initiative by Sonas World, a social business dedicated to developing international sustainable micro-businesses. In 2018, I had the privilege of visiting Sonas in Cambodia, founded by Paul Gill, an experience that led me to volunteer on their Advisory Board. I am thrilled to introduce "Wonderlust For Change," a journal created by Sonas to chronicle and plan impactful trips. This journal resonates with me as it mirrors my journey of falling in love with Cambodia, its people, and the cause. "Wonderlust For Change" is now available on Amazon, with 100% of the profits supporting micro-economic businesses to educate, feed, and clothe their families and children. A fantastic opportunity to contribute to a noble cause.

A great example of some of the work we get to do, where we are part of creating a language for something abstract, but super important, in this case the "DNA of readiness" between Danes to step up and help others. When we succeed in doing that right, we help turn something intangible and difficult to grasp and therefore talk about, into something that people can look at, talk about, work with and use in better ways, strengthening and nurturing communities, organisations and societies as a whole.

After Waitangi Day yesterday, it's the first "proper" working day here in Aotearoa New Zealand after the extended summer break! As always, I'm feeling deeply privileged for my daily conversations with #civilsociety leaders and #fundraising practitioners around the world, navigating systems that are balanced against them, and seeking new ways to resource their causes within their own #ecosystem, building #partnerships that are grounded in solidarity and shared purpose. This morning's session was about creating and holding space for new and challenging conversations about navigating the difficult reality of high-value fundraising across #LatinAmerica hosted by the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement and Carolina Turriago Borrero 🙏🏼 with participants from across the continent. Together, we explored how to navigate corporate partnerships beyond the usual extractive suspects, the temptation from mythical promises of overseas funding, the dishonesty within "open" calls for institutional grants that are already allocated, we also talked about how relatively easy my fundraising has been as a White European man ... ... and as always we keep coming back to the same place in fundraising - how do causes seeking funding navigate the imbalances of power, colonialism, capitalism, white male supremacy? How do we challenge the dominant global orthodoxy of fundraising that has been built upon foundations and experiences in North America and Europe, then "ego-exported" (without reflection of culture and context) that makes it irrelevant and even harmful across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America? And, of course, what practical tools and tactics and relevant examples help navigate as a group towards alternative funding sources, beyond technical resource mobilisation orthodoxy? This afternoon, we'll be exploring how to start and sustain a high-value fundraising programme in #Lao, with Keoamphone Souvannaphoum and CARE! It's great to be back and having real, difficult, but important conversations about navigating the world of funding for important and impactful causes, communities, and change. #globalfundraising
