There is a substantial gap in nonprofit finance that the private sector is looking to address. It's not surprising to me that we are seeing incredible numbers coming out of these funding rounds, as non-profit finance tools are high in demand. We will have to wait and see what exactly this organization can offer nonprofits, but for the moment it seems like software tools have a lucrative opportunity ahead of them. #Nonprofit #Finance #Software

“It’s complex, messy, hard, and uncertain, AND we can move our way to a bold future together. Philanthropy must hold onto openness, humility, love, and accountability; without it, it is unlikely that we will meet the full intentions for our work.” Holding space for the uncertainty while making forward progress is, in my humble opinion, one of Building Impact Partners’ unique value adds as a partner for donors who want to support big change.

💡 ⚡ 👊 "All of our research indicates one key truth: FIELD CATALYSTS ARE AMONG THE HIGHEST-LEVERAGE INVESTMENTS PHILANTHROPY CAN MAKE when it comes to equitable systems change." (caps are mine) YES!...The Bridgespan Group we couldn't agree more! Here we share some reflections on running NCP's Economic System Change Lab...and playing a field catalyst role in support of leaders working day and night to transform the economic system so it actually works for more people--and the planet--and not just a privileged few. "The New Capitalism Project (NCP) Lab has been an experiment in how to incubate a set of inter-related ideas for action and bridge them towards a group’s shared vision for a transformed economic system. From the outset, the NCP Lab has focused on cultivating deep connections and trust among a range of leaders in service of supporting more connected and systemic ways of working together. We believe this kind of collective leadership and coordinated action are critical enabling conditions for driving system health. What we also know is that investments in enabling conditions such as these are hard to “projectize” and therefore harder to fund; and the qualitative and emergent nature of their impact often does not fit well into typical grantmaking reports."

Nature-based climate solutions are real, powerful solutions and how/why rural communities should matter to those dependent upon our natural resources. Rural areas make up 72% of the nation’s land area and are the source of our farms, forests, headwaters, and the hardworking people that care for them. #sierranevada #ruralresilience #landmanagement
