Your Impact Deserves to Be Seen—and Funded! 🌟 Last year, I worked with a small NGO that had done incredible work—providing clean water to over 1,000 families in rural communities. Their team was passionate, their results were life-changing... but their impact wasn’t getting the attention it deserved. Their reports? Buried in spreadsheets and jargon. Funders couldn’t see the magic. We transformed their data into a compelling, funding-ready impact report that told their story in a way that resonated. The result? They secured a transformative grant that turned their dream of expanding into five more communities into reality, creating an even bigger impact. Their story reinforced my belief that when your impact is clear, the possibilities are endless. This is why I do what I do. Social Entrepreneurs, Startups and NGOs—this is your time. If you’re ready to showcase the incredible work you’re doing AND attract the funding you need for 2025 and beyond, I’d love to help. Together, we’ll create an impact report that: ✅ Highlights your results in a clear, powerful way. ✅ Tells your story in a way funders can’t ignore. ✅ Positions you to unlock more funding and support. Applications are open now! Let’s turn your impact into a game-changing report that gets you the recognition and funding you deserve.

💡Community of Practice is a catalyst for building a more sustainable and fairer society.   🌱This week, we had the opportunity to publicly discuss the significance and benefits of Community of Practice in social economy and social entrepreneurship at the regional level. The meeting of social enterprises in Prešov self-governing region brought together a group of experts, key stakeholders, and enthusiasts to establish the first Community of Practice under the guidance of World Bank experts. 🤝Thank you Alina-Nona Petric Vladimir Benc Imren Arslanoglu   A Community of Practice is a time-tested approach for sharing experiences, innovations, inspirations, and also needs in creating a favourable ecosystem for social economy and social entrepreneurship. It is important to recognize that advocacy and policy influence within a CoP are powerful tools for driving change.   It is amazing to see how collective effort and knowledge sharing can lead to significant advancements and innovations. Investing in the development and support of CoP in the field of social entrepreneurship is an investment in the future, bringing benefits to society as a whole.   #CommunityOfPractice #Innovation

Last week, I had the privilege of speaking on a panel alongside Savinda Ranathunga and Xin Gao from UNDP, moderated by Mohamed Ageez, about strategies to empower young green entrepreneurs at the Global Initiative on #DecentJobsforYouth Global Conference organized by the International Labour Organization (ILO).  At Youth Business International (YBI), we know that young green and social entrepreneurs are agents and leaders of change, creating vital economic and employment opportunities in the process. They have the potential to redefine the very fabric of our economy, ensuring that prosperity is not only measured in economic terms but also in the well-being of our societies and the health of our planet.  The conference theme #YoungGreenDigital absolutely spoke to the heart of the key opportunities for #youngentrepreneurs to help solve for today's challenges. However, building a business that measures success not only in profit but impact comes with particular challenges that often make it harder for these young entrepreneurs to secure funding and support. This is why YBI, together with nine of our member organisations, developed our Green and Social Entrepreneurship Toolkit covering key areas like personal development, business ideation and modelling, and impact measurement, to support young green and social entrepreneurs to build successful, sustainable businesses.  It was a great panel discussion - with UNDP playing a key role at inter-governmental and ecosystem level and Youth Business International (YBI) driving practical support for burgeoning green entrepreneurs. When provided with the right support, young entrepreneurs become a force for good, solving pressing environmental and social issues through their businesses. Youth Business International (YBI) advocates for: * Specialised support for young entrepreneurs whose businesses address social and environmental issues, including personal development and business skills training  *Increased access to finance for youth-led social and environmental impact businesses that prioritise impact  *Localised solutions – green and social businesses are often addressing local challenges and need support that is tailored to their context   *Reduction of regulatory barriers for green and social young entrepreneurs to start and grow businesses It was great to connect with so many leaders and changemakers in the field of youth economic empowerment, and thanks to Susana Puerto and her team Jurriaan Middelhoff Maup van de Kerkhof Mia Seppo Kathleen Elsig Urmila Sarkar Ana Maria Peña Maud Seghers
