Assessing an organization's capacity, developing implementation plans, monitoring progress, and adapting strategies are important parts of the strategic planning process. The goal is for economic development organizations to be efficient, collaborative, results-driven, and responsive leaders in their communities.

This document provides an overview of legacy giving and outlines a building blocks approach to establishing a legacy giving program. It defines legacy giving as conveying one's values through future charitable gifts. Legacy gifts can be as simple as changing a beneficiary form or more complex like a will or trust. While only 1 in 10 leave a gift to charity, legacy giving is an important opportunity as it has low fundraising costs and increases other donations. The building blocks approach promotes sustainable legacy giving through mission alignment, leadership engagement, identifying prospects, stewarding relationships, communications, and program planning.

Impact Investing: Funder Readiness in Southwest Pennsylvania and West VirginiaTony Macklin
This document summarizes a study on the readiness of foundations in Southwestern Pennsylvania and West Virginia for impact investing.

Key barriers include investment philosophies, lack of information and perceived barriers. However, there are opportunities such as education, co-investments, advisory services, investee capacity building and creating a regional impact investing network. The report asks foundations for advice on advantages, concerns and roles to grow impact investing in the region.

Dealing with Disruptive Change: The Power of Stakeholder ConnectionsColin Habberton
This document discusses how non-profits can deal with disruptive change by connecting with stakeholders. It provides an overview of the session, which will investigate causes of disruptive change through case studies and discuss how stakeholder connections can manage risk and create solutions. The session will help fundraisers understand disruptive change, use diagnostic tools to engage stakeholders, and build collaborative responses. A case study of Habitat for Humanity SA is presented, which showed how shifting its focus from building houses to building communities allowed it to better scale its impact and operations. The document recommends that organizations innovate through collaboration, invest in people and systems, and implement changes through pilots and training to deal with disruptive change.
In this project, me and my group had to create an Customer Relation Management Plan for the Team Survivor New York City, non-profit organization that helps cancer survivor patients (female only) to recoup and have healthy lifestyle.

An event is anything that happens or an important occurrence. Events can be local, national, regional, or international. Local community events aim to involve the local population in a shared experience for mutual benefit, while special events recognize unique moments in time through ceremony and ritual to meet specific needs. Events vary greatly and each has its own characteristics and requirements that must be identified and met to ensure proper organization, as treating all events the same can lead to poor organization. Proper organization can make events a thrill, while poor organization can make them unpleasant. All events and customers deserve the best attention.

The document promotes several online training and testing resources for emergency preparedness, including the Safe + Ready Institute which offers just-in-time disaster training, as well as the ONX System. Contact information is provided for Chris Floyd to answer any questions about the innovative learning and e-learning options described.
Traditional power outages typically last less than 4 hours and most people only experience 1-2 per year. However, the power industry is undergoing significant changes with customer expectations shifting, new technologies emerging, and the integration of renewable and distributed energy resources. As everything from communication systems to water infrastructure relies on electricity, proper preparation is important to withstand potential longer-term outages. Essential items to have ready include water, non-perishable food, backup communications plans, and potentially a generator used safely and properly ventilated.
This document outlines a proposed 9-step process for establishing operational public-private partnerships for disaster response. The steps include: 1) identifying primary industry stakeholders, 2) determining strategic mission priorities, 3) identifying cross-sector dependencies, 4) establishing task forces as needed, 5) identifying specialized resource needs, 6) defining priority information requirements, 7) identifying predictive models and analysis needs, 8) identifying primary data sources, and 9) assigning levels of confidence to data and information. The overall goal is to establish a framework for coordination and information sharing between government and private sector organizations before, during, and after disasters.

Talk to the hand - Improving public safety outcomes with risk comms (Ronda O...Learning Manager
This document discusses improving risk communication to enhance public safety outcomes. It outlines the differences between risk communication, which occurs before and during an event to prevent or prepare for risks, and crisis communication, which takes place during an event. Effective risk communication creates understanding of potential risks, builds mental frameworks to correctly interpret warnings, and empowers action. Key aspects of risk communication include acknowledging personal choice, using stories to build knowledge and trust, and addressing biases that can inhibit preparedness or response. Ongoing risk communication through various means can help develop preparedness over time.
The benefits challenges and cautions of memorializing tragedy (mahauganee shaw)Learning Manager
The document discusses the benefits, challenges, and cautions of memorializing tragedies on college campuses. Some key benefits of memorials include providing a designated gathering place for families and the community to commemorate the tragedy, promoting connection and collective processing of grief, and offering a symbol of community honor. Challenges involve educating newcomers about the history and sustaining memories over time. A caution is that memorials could potentially reinjure those still deeply impacted by reopening wounds. The document advocates considering these factors when deciding whether and how to memorialize tragic events.
