Over the next year, these communities will use their grant funds to organize themselves for five-year Community-Based Partnerships. Of the 25 Organizing Grant Communities, up to 10 will be selected for Community-Based Partnerships beginning in 2016. These partners will join NWHF in transforming institutions, programs and policies to deliver better outcomes in early life, equity and community health.
We look forward to working with all of the Organizing Grant Communities, who hope to impact everything from African maternal and child health, to families impacted by or at risk for family violence and sexual abuse, to rural Latino communities, and much more. With the support of our partners, Healthy Beginnings+Healthy Communities will help communities improve health, from birth to high school, by 2020. http://www.northwesthealth.org/news/archive/2015/1/8/announcing-healthy-beginningshealthy-communities-organizing-grant-communities How much a charity spends on overhead can have a powerful impact on donors weighing whether to support the group, a nonprofit strategist and blogger writes in The Huffington Post, citing new research on giving patterns.
Brady Josephson notes a recent study in Science magazine in which researchers found that donors gave almost three times as much when told a group’s overhead costs were covered by an outside source, compared to a standard “ask”—far more than when matching funds or seed money is mentioned. The study reinforces that emotion is a key driver in decisions to give, according to the writer, a critic of author and consultant Dan Pallotta’s argument that charities should spend more on administration and solicitation so as to grow and have a greater impact. Feeling that their money is going “to the cause” matters to contributors, who “care more about how impactful their donation is as opposed to how impactful the organization is,” Mr. Josephson says. http://philanthropy.com/blogs/philanthropytoday/opinion-overhead-does-matter-when-it-comes-to-giving/95635?cid=pt&utm_source=pt&utm_medium=en From Sarai Johnson's great website:
"People like you and me really can change the world. You have good ideas. You have passion. You work for social good in all you do, right? But, are you getting the results you intend? Do you feel great at the end of every day - knowing the work you do makes a real difference in the world? Do your programs get rolling and launched without a hitch? Do you have data to back up your assumptions about your program performance? Do you have enough money to keep your work on track? If you're like most nonprofit practitioners, board members and volunteers, you might only be able to say "yes!" to a few of these things. That's where Lean Nonprofit comes in. Lean Nonprofit is made for practitioners like you. So you can get the information and tools you need in order to do your best work for the community and the world. In short, our mission is to make your mission successful."
