Beyond Sport is a global organization that uses sport to promote social change. It does this through award programs, summits, and connecting with over 700 organizations around the world using sport for social innovation. An innovative practice it has identified is programs that generate their own funding, such as through selling sanitary pads or starting a gym/internet cafe, rather than relying solely on donations. This allows programs to become independently sustainable. Examples provided are Moving the Goalposts in Kenya, which sells pads, and Boxgirls in Germany/Africa, which started a cafe and offers workshops. Fund-generating practices are praised for allowing independence from sponsorship and creating job skills.

Essential Ingredients: Growing the Food and Beverage Cluster in the Milwaukee...Goetschh
The document provides a recommendation for growing the food and beverage cluster in the Milwaukee region. It evaluates four alternatives - developing a food campus, implementing an economic gardening strategy, re-branding Milwaukee for business attraction, and supporting local food and beverage businesses. The analysis finds that an economic gardening strategy, which focuses on supporting entrepreneurs, startups, and high-growth companies, best meets the evaluation criteria. The recommendation is to pursue this strategy while also implementing "buy local" campaigns and efforts to increase sales of organic and natural products.

The document proposes a joint venture between State of Grace Living Institute and Onchenda Open Global Food Cooperative to create a sustainable local food system. Onchenda will be an online cooperative marketplace connecting local farmers directly with consumers. It aims to enable small farmers to sell produce at better margins, reinvest profits to help others farm, and provide mentoring. The goal is to establish local food networks restoring soil, communities and economies. State of Grace will serve as an education center showcasing sustainable living.

The gluten free product market is project to reach 6.8 billion by 2019 with an explosive growth rate of 38.5%

cles. Our team identified key gaps in their skills and knowledge and empowered them with the tools to sustainably
grow their business.

commerce platform, (2) providing an in-depth market research report and recommendations on the strategy and

growth challenge faced from four different angles: (1) outlined an actionable roadmap for Giv2Giv based on our in
-depth market research, (2) enhanced Giv2giv’s online presence using Google Analytics and other low-cost con-
tent marketing tools, (3) kick started Giv2Giv’s professional media engagement with local nonprofits through our
LinkedIn campaign, and (4) helped Giv2Giv build partnerships with local nonprofits and student organizations.
ENABLING
PROGRESS
Added more than 50 new charities to giv2giv’s endowment user base (currently 62 endowments in total).
Increased the business’ impressions by nearly fivefold and raised organic post reach from below 200 to
over 1,400.
Grew giv2giv’s endowment fund by 19 times, increasing the total donations balance from $203 to over

catalyze action by raising awareness about food waste.
TAKING
ACTIONS
Our entrepreneurial team used three approaches to engage the community to reduce food waste, including (1)

Kuma, a high-traffic local restaurant to address the food waste issue across the supply chain, and (3) set up food
exchange shelves at 4 locations (first-year dorms) on Grounds.
