We are in a rare moment to steer these dollars towards systemic analysis and grassroots solutions. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/e--s2TzU

I help rural community developers and independent facilitators do the work behind their work. 💛 Rural Thriverr | Nonprofit Exec | Facilitator | Worm Farmer
"the people closest to problems have the most relevant perspectives on solutions, yet often lack access to the power needed to make an impact." I think this Participatory Investing toolkit from Common Future is a big deal. Getting the communities and orgs that need funding involved in the decision-making process is a game changer. Whether it's a program-related investment (PRI) or grant, it seems to me that this process is a shift that strengthens community initiatives and improves foundation/funder impact. "Participatory Investing, at its best, ensures that models, solutions, and perspectives rooted in community are uplifted and prioritized in investment decisions." (Disclosure: I am a former Common Future Fellow. And Dakota Resources, the nonprofit I lead, is currently seeking several $million in PRI for our loan fund.) https://lnkd.in/gFFD_Ug2

Question: How can nonprofits balance their mission with sustainability? Answer: Nonprofits face the challenge of balancing their mission with sustainability in order to create long-term impact. While their primary focus is on fulfilling their mission and serving their beneficiaries, they also need to ensure financial stability to sustain their operations. This can be achieved through a combination of diversified funding sources, strategic partnerships, effective resource management, and innovative revenue generation models. By finding the right balance between their mission and sustainability, nonprofits can continue making a positive difference in the world for years to come. #501c3 #fatherhood

Last week, Collaborative Fund joined forces with Climate Changemakers in service of hosting a climate Hour of Action in New York! 👉 We gathered an amazing group of folks across venture investing, non-profits, founders building climate-tech companies, and general climate enthusiasts to work on a shared climate action goal: cutting climate pollution while investing in communities. With folks on laptops learning, drafting, and chatting throughout the event space, we each submitted personalized public comments to DEC and NYSERDA supporting a comprehensive New York cap-and-invest rule that's in development! 👊 This game-changing program would account for all sources of GHG emissions and deliver 40% of benefits to disadvantaged and low-income communities. Attendees shared that they not only appreciated our efforts to bring together many people in venture (and plenty who were adjacent to it!) but also "It was such a refreshing way to build community and engage with local issues." Thanks to everyone who joined us! #capandinvest #newyorkevents #climatetech #venturecapital #climateinvesting #climateaction #climateaction
