ideas42 collaborates with partners who make significant contributions to their community—and want to maximize their effectiveness. 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐠𝐨 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫. We worked with the staff of a direct services provider in Detroit to identify the paternalism built into the way they approached their clients and replace it with narratives centered on the agency and dignity of those they serve. By changing how people think about the root causes of poverty, we’re ensuring that more people in historically and intentionally excluded communities have greater control over their lives and futures.

It’s been nearly three years since the start of the full-scale war, and unfortunately, time doesn’t heal everything. Ukrainian refugees in Georgia continue to face daily challenges—from financial struggles and job searches to accessing healthcare and caring for loved ones. Contrary to the belief that “they’re safe now, so they need nothing else,” the reality is far more complex. At Just Help, we focus on supporting those who need it most: • Pensioners who left everything behind and are starting over from scratch. • Single mothers who carry the responsibility for both their own well-being and their children’s futures. • People with disabilities who require specialized care and ongoing assistance. Our reach isn’t limited to these groups—every story is unique. Real help isn’t a one-off act; it’s the continuous support that empowers people to move forward. If you’re reading this, your involvement is invaluable. Join our community: share this post, spread the word, make a donation, or simply stay compassionate. Together, we can accomplish more: https://lnkd.in/gN2Cdu3B #UkrainianRefugees #HumanitarianAid #SocialImpact #Nonprofit #CommunitySupport #CSR #Philanthropy #SupportMatters

I’ve been exploring how data shows up in other fields to compare it with corporate social impact data. ⏭ My observations contribute to Debunking or questioning some best practices 🤔 And Reinforcing others. 🏅 Reading about Mackenzie Scott’s latest round of giving isn’t far outside of corporate social impact. The story is told using big numbers. The big numbers are supplemented by examples of specific grantees giving the specifics of their work. That sounds pretty familiar. 😊 CNN / Business Insider / AP articles $ given ($640 million) # organizations applied (6,000) # organizations in top tier scores(279), $2M each # of organizations next tier (82), $1M each $ B, Scott’s fortune (36.2) $ given last year or last round $ budget to eligible ($1M and $5M) Similar to the incredible spike in some organizations' budgets in 2016, I'm curious how we will look back on Yield Giving's effects five years from now. 🔮 In the majority, the nonprofit sector responds to the issues created by our faulty and harmful systems. Responsive action doesn't create systemic change but it does make things better for people's lives. That's why I'm hopeful to hear stories of individual's lives changing ✨ because of these massive gifts, including the nonprofit staff themselves, but do not expect stories of systems change. 🏔 #CSR #philanthropy #corporatephilanthropy #measuretomanage #DataInsights #DataforGood
We're thrilled to share the Yield Giving Open Call has announced 361 U.S. nonprofit organizations are receiving $640 million in funding! The Open Call — managed by Lever for Change — sought community-led, community-focused organizations whose explicit purpose is to advance the voices and opportunities of individuals, families, and communities who have met with systemic obstacles. These organizations are focused on working with people and in places experiencing the greatest need in the U.S.: communities, individuals, and families with access to the fewest foundational resources and opportunities. Congratulations to all of the awardees! For more information, visit: https://lnkd.in/gWNYQb5q #YieldGiving #YieldGivingOpenCall #SocialImpact

From our intake team: "In July, we saw a 30% increase in service requests compared to the previous month. Each inquiry is carefully reviewed to determine if we can best serve their needs. We assess factors such as abuse or neglect history, jurisdiction, legal standing, and the specific area of law required. Out of these inquiries, 40% met the criteria to proceed with a full application. While we can’t assist every family directly, it’s reassuring to know that even when we’re not the right fit, we can connect them with other valuable community resources, ensuring no one is left without support." -Gabby Cena, MJM Intake Specialist #mjm #methodistjusticeministry #nonprofitlawyers #probonolawyers #philanthropy #hope #protect #support #admin #july #fortworth #officestats
