Moving from Conversation to Action: Funding Solutions to Empower Teens in the Digital Age

  • Resumen

  • Moving from Conversation to Action: Funding Solutions to Empower Teens in the Digital Age Message from Katya Hancock: First of all, it’s hard to be a nonprofit leader and I’m cheering you on. I encourage you to: 1. Take care of yourself as much as you can. Take weekends off, take vacations/staycations, and take time to celebrate your wins. It can be so easy to stay in the day-to-day blocking and tackling of issues that pop up and move right past the moments that deserve recognition by you and your team. 2. Culture matters. Take the time to develop a culture guide, including your core values, what you stand for, who you want to emulate, and how you work. Share this openly with your team for feedback and make sure they’re bought in. 3. Borrow some best practices from the startup world. For example, funders want to hear about quarterly and annual goals as well as projections. It can be tough to make projections when you’re in a constant fundraising hustle, but this practice will ultimately help fundraising. Reassess annual and quarterly goals every 90 days with your leadership team. Lastly, if you’re an org working to help teens and preteens navigate tech, we’d love to meet you! Please reach out.
