This document discusses asset-based community development and creating sustainable community gardens. It defines asset-based community development as a process of neighborhood regeneration by locating and connecting local assets to multiply their impact. It outlines five categories of community assets: individual gifts, associations, institutions, land/buildings, and local economy. The document emphasizes the importance of including community members and building reciprocal partnerships between groups.
The document describes several philanthropic organizations that are funding partners for the BUILD Health Challenge. It provides information on each funder's focus area, grant amounts, and assets. It then summarizes the governance structure for BUILD, which includes the Executive Steering Committee that provides strategic direction, and the Coordination Team led by the Executive Director. Technical assistance is provided by a Technical Assistance Group with primary liaisons from partner organizations. Grants management, communications, learning and evaluation, and technical assistance workstreams are described.
- There is a paradox between communities wanting investment and concerns about environmental and social impacts, which can stop projects.
- Social performance refers to a company's strategy and programs to improve communities, measured by stakeholder assessments, while ensuring corporate social responsibility.
- Getting social performance right requires going beyond formal processes to build long-term trust and understanding priorities through deep communication and understanding community needs.
The document discusses the challenge of scaling climate-smart agricultural practices from pilot options to widespread adoption. It identifies four key areas for intervention: incentivizing, risk coping, partnering, and including. For each area, it provides examples of strategies that can be used to enable scaling, such as modifying costs/benefits, managing risks through different world views, configuring partnership capacities, and bringing together multiple dimensions of inclusion. The overall goal is to act as "system builders" and "web weavers" to facilitate the conditions needed for scaling climate-smart agriculture through a combination of business practices, localized adaptations, inclusive approaches, and managing leverage points within partnerships.
Environmental Sustainability has become an important aspect of business today. But many businesses aren't sure what to make of it. This is an introductory lecture about sustainability and how it can be practically related to business.
The document discusses ecosystems as strategic thinking at the corporate and business levels. At the corporate level, ecosystems can function as growth platforms through resource aggregation between the environment and ecosystem. At the business level, ecosystems are dynamic coevolution processes among platforms, non-platform actors, and other elements. Ecosystem dynamics can be intentionally manipulated to some extent and impact firm strategy. The key aspects of ecosystems are their boundary, composition of actors, and continuous dynamics and innovation over time.

Taking Sustainability Literally: An Introduction to Context-Based SustainabilitySustainable Brands
Back by popular demand, this workshop will introduce attendees to the practice of context-based sustainability (CBS) – a cutting-edge approach to measurement, management and reporting that interprets performance relative to social and ecological thresholds. Speakers will examine the stakeholder-centric orientation of CBS, its focus on multiple capitals, its grounding in science- and norm-based standards, as well as its practical implications for materiality, goal setting, and reporting. Notable case studies in CBS and its growing influence in international standards (GRI, IIRC, GISR, etc.) will also be discussed.

Assets endowment determinant factor for stakeholder mobilization and retentio...Alexander Decker
This study examined the relationship between asset endowment and stakeholder mobilization for community-driven development (CDD) projects. A survey was administered to 105 community stakeholders in Kisumu West District, Kenya. Statistical analysis found a significant positive correlation between measures of community assets and measures of individual and community mobilization. Specifically, higher scores on measures of assets like human capital, social assets, and economic assets were correlated with higher scores on measures of willingness to participate in CDD projects and endure participation. The results indicate asset endowment has a direct impact on stakeholder mobilization for CDD by determining communities' ability to mobilize and participate in development initiatives.
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) provides vital support for millions of people with disabilities in the United States. SSDI benefits give access to healthcare and supports that lift many out of poverty. While SSDI beneficiaries have diverse disabilities and backgrounds, research shows most will likely never have the capacity for significant, ongoing work. Proposed reforms aim to help those able to work do so, but should not weaken the program or make benefits discretionary. SSDI is functioning as intended as a critical lifeline for many Americans with disabilities.

The document summarizes an interview with Kathleen Kelly Janus, a social entrepreneur and co-founder of Spark, a network of millennial donors seeking to advance gender equality. It then discusses strategies for nonprofit sustainability, based on interviews with 100 social entrepreneurs. The key strategies are: 1) Testing ideas through R&D before major funding; 2) Measuring impact from the start using tailored metrics; 3) Funding experimentation through earned income and philanthropic capital; 4) Leading collaboratively through a strong board and staff talents; 5) Telling compelling stories using various platforms. Appendices provide additional details on methodology and resources.
The document discusses building corporate alliances and partnerships to further nonprofit missions. It describes convergence between businesses and nonprofits and how corporate social responsibility (CSR) aims to benefit society as well as financial performance. Nonprofits can leverage CSR by forming alliances with interested corporations. However, alliances require clear communication and terms to ensure mutual benefit and avoid risks of wasted resources or mission drift. Structuring win-win partnerships through sponsorship, sales promotions, or shared resources can maximize impacts for both nonprofits and businesses.
5 Benefits of a Nonprofit Theory of ChangeNell Edgington
The document discusses the benefits of developing a theory of change for nonprofits. It explains that a theory of change 1) builds vision, mission, and strategy by relating activities to short and long-term outcomes; 2) engages board and staff by incorporating goals and objectives into operational plans; 3) helps prove impact by aligning metrics to measure outcomes; 4) allows capacity capital by demonstrating need for infrastructure to achieve greater impact; and 5) attracts more support by framing donations as investments in outcomes rather than needs.

Proposal: Launch a community-based action-learning lab to accelerate innovation and application of systematic approaches to civic stewardship.
Approach: Applies systematic methods in the civic context that are now used in successful organizations to increase local ownership for ambitious goals, and to foster innovation and collaboration for achieving them.
Opportunity: Spur progress on our most persistent and costly socio-economic and environmental problems by cultivating a national network of neighborhood-based civic stewardship initiatives. A critical mass of neighborhood efforts in 300 U.S. cities can save hundreds of billions in annual government costs, while fostering “collective efficacy” and wellbeing in communities nationwide.
Why now: Recent developments in measures (spurred by the proliferation of “public data”), social media (e.g., neighborhood websites), and monetization (e.g., social impact bonds) are “disruptive innovations” that create ripe opportunities for quantum change.

This document provides an overview of corporate social responsibility (CSR). It begins by outlining the agenda, which includes defining CSR, trends driving CSR, challenges, and opportunities. It then discusses differing definitions of CSR and emphasizes a strategic definition. Key trends driving greater CSR adoption are identified as declining trust in business, millennial values, consumer preferences, growth of socially responsible investing, and increasing NGO influence. Challenges include regulatory complexity, consumer indifference, perceived high costs, and critics of CSR. However, the document also outlines opportunities in developing new products and markets, strengthening brand equity, professional services, risk mitigation, and continuous innovation.
John Powell discusses bringing together fragmented social and environmental movements to create more equitable, sustainable communities. He argues that while different groups address pieces of the environment in isolation, they ultimately want healthy, livable, inclusive places. Tensions exist between priorities like sustainability and equity, so understanding sources of conflict is key. A new community development model and impact assessments considering physical, economic, social and civic structures can help integrate efforts. Strategic collaboration across sectors and meaningful community engagement, where residents shape solutions, are needed to open pathways of opportunity for all.

This document discusses conflict resolution basics and provides strategies for managing conflict effectively. It outlines five modes of conflict - avoiding, accommodating, competing, collaborating, and compromising. The most effective strategies include active listening, apologizing, compromising, humor, negotiating, and postponing, while the poor strategies are violence, running away, and whining. Throughout any culture, people communicate to be listened to and understood, and they respond to respect and disrespect. The key is to listen, be flexible, and be willing to change.

1. The document traces the historical origins and development of sociology as a discipline that promotes both intellectual/theoretical work as well as direct efforts to impact social change through organizing and policymaking.
2. It discusses tensions between engaged sociology focused on social reform versus more isolated academic sociology, highlighting women and scholars of color who were marginalized from universities and did engaged work through other means.
3. Contemporary strategies for teaching public sociology and encouraging social action are discussed, including public sociology, service learning, community-based research, and civic engagement, though questions remain about realizing these goals fully within the modern university.
This document provides an overview of a social problems course that takes a service learning approach. The course uses case studies of students engaged in social action and community organizing. It aims to show students how sociological concepts and theories can help analyze social problems and what people are doing to address these issues. Each chapter focuses on a social problem through statistics, media analysis, and voices from those working in the field. The goal is for the material to be accessible, solution-oriented, and highlight the possibility of student-led social change.
This document outlines an agenda and materials for a workshop on uncovering hidden community assets and resources.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times.
