Universities can make significant improvements to the economic health and personal wellbeing of their community. It’s exciting to see University of Virginia President Jim Ryan’s commitment to this work bearing fruit in Charlottesville! Partnering with nonprofits with established relationships in the community allows anchor institutions like UVA to deliver support where it’s most needed, coordinate to avoid duplication of efforts, and invest in long-term projects that encourage sustained growth. Has your nonprofit benefited from a ‘town to gown’ partnership? What lessons can you share here to help others thrive?
CNE's Executive Director, Cristine Nardi, participated in a panel last week as part of UVA's Democracy360. The topic of the panel was the "President’s Council on UVA-Community Partnerships: Anchor Institutions as Civic Participants". Together, they spoke about the importance of UVA's work in the community including with local organizations like CNE. She is seen pictured here alongside UVA's President Jim Ryan and other panelists.

This is one of the ways I fill my 'community bucket' - by volunteering at the Ottawa Community Foundation, on the board, the Grants Committee and the Impact Investing Committee. If you are not familiar - OCF is your community impact broker, helping to bring together so many parts of Ottawa, to pool together our funds and use that to re-invest in our community. We connect people looking for ways to invest their funds for the good of the community (donors), with local nonprofits/charities (service providers) serving those who can really use that investment (community members or causes). And the causes we support are driven by what's needed and what's important to the people who make up our city - so range from social services to health to education to arts and culture to heritage to environment to animal rights. I love volunteering here because it helps me feel connected to the heartbeat of Ottawa across all of our diversity - from grassroots local community groups to donors and funders to business leaders to policy makers. As individuals we are each plugged into to different parts of our city, geographically or sectorally or demographically. But here, we are all united through our common interest in making our city a better place for everyone. So here's a little window into the amazing work that's happening in our city everyday, thanks to all these different folks coming together, each doing our part, to lift each other up.

The challenge is real: in 2024, we face numerous decisive elections that will have a major influence on the functionality of our democratic system. How much more political fragmentation and polarization will we see - and what does that imply for responses from civil society, policy makers and staunch but silent democrats? These are only some of the questions we discuss within our Alfred Landecker Foundation community. #defenddemocracy #inthistogether
“We want to foster connections, work together on ideas, learn from each other, challenge each other, and be inspired by each other,” says our co-CEO, Silke Muelherr, speaking at last summer’s Landecker Community Summit. Encompassing various backgrounds from academia to activism, our community thrives on unique and unconventional perspectives, driving us to find innovative solutions to the pressing questions of our times. The Landecker Community is a network of people from organisations that are funded by us or who are otherwise interlinked with our work. Together, we support and empower each other, striving collectively to remember the Holocaust, fight antisemitism and other forms of group-based hatred, and strengthen democracy and the rule of law. You can also read more about the community and summit here 👉 https://lnkd.in/ekwtekjB 🎥 Watch our Co-CEO Silke Müllherr speak about the Foundation's work & Landecker community collaboration below👇🏼

Gobioff Foundation could use some help identifying potential organizations to receive our Juneteenth grants. Each year since 2020, the Gobioff Foundation has chosen 5 organizations to receive unrestricted grants of $20,000 with no obligations or expectation of reporting. As a small family foundation, we are looking to our community to help identify worthy organizations to support as part of this program. To qualify, organizations must be an eligible 501(c)3 as determined by the IRS, have BIPOC leadership, and have a mission to improve Black Lives. Organizations can be located anywhere in the United Sates. They do not have to be art organizations. Art isn’t a category we are looking for. This is NOT a popularity contest. Coordinated efforts by organizations to have multiple people submit will not make a difference. We’re not counting votes. We are just trying to discover organizations that we wouldn’t otherwise know about. To see what type of organization we are looking for, please look at the list of previous Juneteenth grantees on our Grantees page. Nominate here: https://lnkd.in/eH4g2BeK
