Summer 2016, DRF interns explored and identified the unrealized, and often overlooked, resources in the smaller neighborhoods around the Dan River Region by engaging in Asset Based Community Development (ABCD). ABCD is an approach to community improvement which focuses on the identification of a neighborhood’s strengths, rather than its needs.
Interns were assigned to teams that worked within local neighborhoods to identify the skills, personalities, associations, institutions, structures and relationships that make up that particular community. This information will help DRF and residents gain insight into the resources available, and those still needed, to help the neighborhood thrive.
DRF believes that interns working at this grassroots level can contribute to our efforts to make significant changes in that community’s civic capacity. Therefore they are contributing towards the work of DRF’s larger, overall goal of a more vibrant and revitalized Dan River Region.

This document discusses civic health and attachment to place. It summarizes data from a civic health initiative that found 16 out of 20 indicators of civic involvement decreased between 2013 and 2012, though many remain high. Key findings include decreases in family dinners, social interactions with friends and neighbors, and levels of volunteering. The document advocates strengthening civic life by improving social offerings, openness to diversity, and community aesthetics to increase residents' emotional attachment to their place and sense of community.
This document announces the 2010 PresenTense Global Fellows and provides a brief description of each fellow's project to engage Jewish communities, empower volunteers, or create social change in areas like education, the environment, and the Middle East.

Poverty is defined as lacking a socially acceptable amount of money or material possessions. About half of the world lives on less than $2.50 per day and 80% live on less than $10 per day. Bill and Melinda Gates started the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in 1997 to improve welfare and help the impoverished globally by providing medical aid, identifying solutions to lift people out of poverty, and advocating for policies to implement solutions and increase awareness. The document teaches that many people worldwide do not have basic necessities like homes and food and to appreciate the privileges and opportunities provided through parents and education.

Non-profits rely on individual contributions for funding but are receiving less support. They provide important services in areas like the arts, religion, assistance for those in need. With the struggling economy and less donations, many local non-profits cannot afford their services. Residents are encouraged to support organizations through donations, volunteering, or attending fundraising events to help non-profits continue operating.

Foster care youth face greater challenges transitioning to adulthood than those with familial support networks. They often "age out" of the system without a safety net. This document discusses empowering foster youth and alumni to build successful lives through addressing their top three needs: regional Thanksgiving events, sponsorship for advocacy trips to Washington D.C., and a program for storing professional clothing. It describes an event where foster care alumni shared a Thanksgiving meal on Capitol Hill to advocate for policies to better support youth transitioning out of foster care.
Women's Aid is a national charity working to end domestic and sexual violence. They have partnered with several large corporations over the years to help raise awareness and funds through campaigns and employee engagement. Their partnership with The Midcounties Co-operative was highly successful, raising over £294,000 through various fundraising initiatives and increasing awareness among employees. The partnership benefited both organizations by engaging employees, supporting survivors locally, and exploring new fundraising methods.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Liz Sully of Women's Aid and Lindsay Roche of The Midcounties Co-operative about their corporate partnership. Women's Aid is a national charity in the UK working to end domestic violence. They have historically relied on statutory and trust funding but began pursuing corporate partnerships in 2003. The Midcounties Co-operative is a consumer co-operative that supports community causes. In 2011, they partnered with Women's Aid as their Charity of the Year, raising over £294,000 through employee fundraising and engagement initiatives. The partnership helped raise domestic violence awareness and provided opportunities for employee volunteering. Both organizations found the partnership mutually beneficial in diversifying funding and community engagement.
Bob Carter discusses the importance of creating a culture of philanthropy, particularly in Brazil. He argues that while US and Canadian fundraising practices are advanced, charities there have been slow to innovate, and they can learn from countries like Brazil. The key difference between the US and Brazil is that fundraising is viewed as an integral part of achieving community impact in the US, through a culture of philanthropy developed over centuries. For Latin America to strengthen philanthropy, fundraising must be seen as a natural part of community life through culture building within organizations and society.

As a leading Committee member in my community, our focus and agenda are to create awareness on why it important to vote in local elections.
Made out of residents in our local community, mothers, teachers, small business owners and neighbors we noticed a pattern where most community members don’t see the importance and urgency in participating in elections taking place in their local community. Regardless of who their candidate of choice is and what they represent, the voter turnout remains low.
In our efforts since creating our organization, we work on creating awareness of the topics that local community members care about, striving to show how their vote matters when it comes to creating change or establishing an idea they can relate to. Our efforts include phone-calls, flyers and posters, door-knocking, local community meetings, and social media ads and discussion forums.
We aim these efforts towards local business owners, families with children, and low wage employees in the community. These groups overall as many of us and others are consumed with their day to day activities and tasks to the point where they are not able to follow and be informed of new initiatives that are proposed, issues that may help or hurt them down the line, or issues that could help them achieve better quality of life. From data collected the low turnout is caused by not seeing any positive outcomes out of local elections, and not being in the loop and dedicate the time to know and understand what is happening. Our efforts create a topic for discussion for all so by the time it is time to vote they are part of the solutions and participate in it.
To fund such a project, we are in direct contact with local city officials and state officials where they can allocate funds towards helping us create such awareness through community meetings and ads, but the funds allocated are not enough to fund our cause fully. Residents also can donate to our efforts, with their time and money, and so accordingly and we appreciate all their contributions. Above all, we encourage our residents to contribute their time by discussing our agenda and local issues with their friends and neighbors and spread the word.
To achieve higher funding opportunities, we are turning to non-profits organizations across the country such as “non-profit vote”, “common America”, “Let America Vote” and more (Bustle.com, 2020). Such institutions assist local communities in reaching voting engagement in their community.
As mentioned above, the essence of the problem where the community has had low turnout in elections had been sourced mainly to a disconnect between local officials and the raising issues, to the day to day families and businesses that are the core of the community. While the issues on hand had the most impact on such individuals, they were least consulted or given a voice fo.

Webinar: Institutional Philanthropy & Grassroots Fundraising: A Match Made fo...EPIPNational
With so many complex social and political forces impacting philanthropy and the third sector today, it’s more important than ever for social justice fundraisers of every stripe to find purpose and meaning in their toil. The Grassroots Institute for Fundraising Training (GIFT) suggests that the distinction between donor and recipient is fleeting and that the transformational power of philanthropy lies in discovering and sharing our inner fundraiser with the world around us. Join us for this engaging webinar as we explore GIFT’s work to cultivate intention, craft, and pride in the role of the fundraiser as part of a broader effort to redefine philanthropy and help construct a shared vision of resource mobilization across the sector. We’ll learn about GIFT’s programs, in particular the biennial Money for Our Movements: A Social Justice Fundraising Conference, hear about impact from partners who’ve experienced GIFT’s transformative programming, and consider some strategic philanthropic responses to current trends in the sector.
