World Food Program USA’s Post

👋 Here's the update that I promised: I've chosen to pivot my career to work on shifting our food system to be in alignment with common values. 🐣 Most of us (carnivores to vegans) find that our current agricultural system is not serving our values. We adore animals, and don't believe that they should unnecessarily suffer. Despite this, three-quarters of our global animal products continue to come from factory farms (https://lnkd.in/grmti3Xt), subjecting well-above 50 billion animals to cruel conditions every year. Simultaneously, less than 0.5% (~$200 M/year) of charitable dollars go to helping farmed animals. 🌍 I’m working on bringing more funds to this cause, and am honoured to join the incredibly dedicated community that is creating a better food system. 📚 I've been learning at Faunalytics, an impactful organization that empowers animal advocates with original research, a curated research library, and direct research support. As part of my fundraising role, I've had the privilege of immersing myself in their findings and learning from Liz Wheeler, a leader in the movement's fundraising space! ✍ In complement, I've just started as an incubatee within ProVeg Incubator's Kickstarting For Good program. I'll be combining my learnings, from nonprofit consulting and direct nonprofit work, with mentorship from this incredible program in attempts to co-found a nonprofit that brings more funds to the movement. 💖 A major thanks to the community that supported this pivot: Faunalytics, ProVeg Incubator, High Impact Professionals, & Animal Advocacy Careers!

The BuildPalestine Impact Report for 2023 is out 💫 We are honored to share our 2023 Impact Report, which reviews the results of our three main programs and features the stories of our visionary Fellows. In 2023, we were proud to support eight social enterprises through 188 cumulative hours of coaching and mentorship. Three of these social enterprises raised a cumulative $113k. 2023 also challenged us to postpone and adapt our annual BuildPalestine Summit, originally scheduled for October 7th and 8th, into a webinar series exploring the theme “Reclaiming Funding” attended by 732 participants representing 40 countries. In a time of crisis, these discussions are more necessary than ever to re-imagine how we return agency into the hands of Palestinian changemakers. Join in on the conversation by checking out the webinar recordings linked in our 2023 Impact Report. 📖 ➡ View full report: https://bit.ly/4aawkYn #impactreport #impact #socialentrepreneurship

THRILLED to be leading a session at Opportunity Collaboration in 2 weeks.🚀 Want a sneak peak? *Finding Your Perfect-Fit-Grantee or Funder: From Discomfort to Transformation* Co-led by Shelly Helgeson from Connective Impact, Beatrice Onyango from Segal Family Foundation and Elizabeth (Ellis) Welch from iDE (International Development Enterprises). Here's what we are going to get into: 📌 Do you know who your perfect-fit-partner is – be it a potential donor or a potential grantee? 📌 Then, even once we know our perfect-fit-partners, some philanthropists & implementers are still getting comfortable with the uncomfortable notion of transparency, leveling power dynamics, & funding with fewer strings attached. 📌 This session is for both do’ers and donors who want to get laser-focused, explore powerful new communication lines, shift institutional practices & celebrate what works. Will you be at #OCGlobal in #Mexico this year? If so, let's grab a drink under a🌴!

Do you think about power? About the way it affects your work, your relationships, your behaviors, your story - and maybe even the way you look at money? Power is a big theme in the nonprofit + impact spaces. Sometimes because we don’t have it or because it’s withheld from us. But also how it helps us scale, gather, fund, include, share, and empower us. This is a topic I’m excited to explore more deeply and vulnerably during We Are For Good’s virtual summit - ImpactUp - on July 11, and I’d love to invite you into the convo. Join me at ImpactUp with thousands of our fellow disruptive, evolution-for-good friends as we tackle the topic from various angles and talk about how to activate solutions for reclaiming our power.

Excellent presentation.

"Bringing the concept of tech governance to a nonprofit board can be critical in enabling transformation. For the nonprofit sector, which has historically under-invested in technology (whether by choice or necessity), tech governance is a breakthrough opportunity to bring critical expertise to the boardroom, develop strong networks in the tech industry, close critical tech resource gaps, and build a sustainable approach to tech that is deeply integrated into the organization. In the words of Jim Fruchterman, Founder/CEO at Tech Matters: 'There is a huge opportunity to transform existing boards…. Every ambitious nonprofit needs tech.'"
