The Small Enterprise Foundation aims to alleviate poverty through microcredit in rural South Africa, where unemployment and lack of income are major problems. It provides loans to form microbusinesses, with clients forming groups to jointly guarantee loans. Research found that SEF clients experienced improved economic well-being and reduced domestic violence and improved HIV/AIDS outcomes. However, reaching the very poor presents challenges like lower average loan sizes and greater vulnerability if businesses fail. SEF's experience shows that operating rurally can balance costs with productivity given sufficient population density.

CSAs – Join the Campaign to Create a State Mechanism for Children’s Savings A...NeighborhoodPartnerships
Across the country, the asset building community is abuzz with excitement about Children’s Savings Accounts (CSAs). CSAs provide an opportunity for communities to invest early in the futures of their children by opening a savings account for each child. Evidence is mounting that CSAs are a powerful tool to increase early academic success, success in college and create lifetime savings habits. Oregon communities need a tool like this. Come join our effort to build a legislative campaign in 2017 to increase opportunity for Oregon’s children.

Pay for Today (and Tomorrow): Compensation in the Nonprofit Sector (DC)Church Pension Group
Lately, it seems that any sentence containing the words "nonprofit" and "compensation" is related to the scrutiny of pay provided to the presidents and other top executives of organizations. However, for most nonprofit organizations, far more compensation dollars are paid to the broader, non-executive employee population. My presentation from the October 2010 Nonprofit Human Resources Conference in Washington, DC focuses on prevailing practices and emerging trends regarding compensation in the nonprofit sector, including the impact of internal and external influences.
Asset building is a powerful tool that allows people to pursue their dreams, push past generational poverty and create economic security for their families. Yet for many taking that first step toward building a financial foundation is simply out of the question. What if there was a way for everyone to help support those first steps? We believe there is! No matter what your client base is, or what kind of interface you have with clients, this session will explore opportunities for starting conversations that can impact our client’s long term financial success – the gateway conversations that will open the door to prosperity. We will explore tools and resources such as Your Money Your Goals, the CFED Integrating Financial Capability Toolkit and Bank On Oregon that help support clients in finding their path toward financial resilience.

If you're a minority small business owner, you might've learned the hard way that equal opportunity doesn't always apply to small business loans. A number of studies have shown that minority business owners get less information and assistance, but are asked more financial questions, by business lenders.
Discrimination like this is a huge problem, both for the lending industry and for the economy as a whole. Let's stand together and change things for the better.
A Foundation Grants program is the base of every philanthropy program. An organization constructs its case for support which acts as the main commercial for the organization. Prospect research, planning and communications are also discussing in this presentation.

Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.
