The Leaders Inspiring Leaders group for NPW Member EDs and CEOs in their roles for 3 years or less met virtually on March 23rd. Members shared their latest organizational activities - including new partnerships, board engagement strategies and successful events. Participants engaged in a robust discussion on how to successfully use technology to build cohesion among staff, volunteers and board members, especially when these groups span multiple generations. Please contact facilitator Cora Greenberg for more information on joining this group.  

Over 40 participants joined together at last Friday’s Peer to Peer Affinity Group meeting at Sam's of Gedney Way. Dr. Alexandria Connally, NPW’s Racial Equity Consultant, led an energized discussion on how to cope with imposter syndrome, particularly in the workplace, with group work exercises and engaging videos.

The next meeting on May 19 will be a celebration of the group’s one year anniversary! With over 150 participants, Peer to Peer is Westchester’s first-ever affinity group for nonprofit personnel of color, and we are honored to create a space for BIPOC nonprofit professionals to connect, network, and learn together. 

Thank you to our group sponsors: PCSB Bank, United Way of Westchester and Putnam, Pace University, Westchester Library System.

MacKenzie Scott Grant Opportunity

MacKenzie Scott is launching a $250 million “open call” for community-focused nonprofits. Through her organization Yield Giving, Mackenzie plans to make unrestricted $1 million donations to 250 nonprofits selected in the process, which she calls a “new pathway to support for organizations making positive change in their communities.” To apply, the nonprofits must have annual operating budgets larger than $1 million, but less than $5 million for at least two of the past five years.

“Teams on the front lines of challenges have insights no one else can offer,” Scott said in a statement. “So there are three big headlines here in my heart: Community changemakers can nominate themselves. Community changemakers get feedback from their peers. Community changemakers have a powerful role in funding decisions.”
