Ask an Advisor Questions

Am working on community mapping in Birmingham UK, especially faith community persepctive, as part of developing a route to the city becoming fully sustainable with net zero carbon emissions. Are there examples of your Community Tool Kit being used by UK cities? Is there experience of using the tool kit specifically in relation to sustainability and climate change? Thanks.

We are in the process of transiting from a local volunteer agency, to a state wide project to address homelessness in Georgia.

Any advice on using CT for a large number of volunteers? i.e. best to train in classroom setting or self taught on line.

Hello,

I just started a non-profit and I'm trying to apply for a grant. In the grant, I need to communicate the challenge or need of community leadership development and what the intended benefits of community leadership development are. In my response, I need to use data to support my approach.

I'm having trouble communicating proof of concept. I don't know how to present the market investability for community leadership development to future impact investors. Can the community toolbox possibly help me gather this data so I can put together a grant application for our work?

Below is A Summary of our new non-profit:

The 1C9 Leadership Foundation is a non-profit whose vision is to empower Baltimore's current and future leaders through leadership development, coaching, and community development. 1C9 Leadership Foundation exists to empower future leaders towards citywide, transformational change in Baltimore, MD. From our leadership development and coaching services to our spiritual formation partnerships, we are striving to build a better future for our communities.

With these challenges, our cities, like Baltimore, can end up looking more like battlegrounds rather than playgrounds. The 1C9 Leadership Foundation believes that where you have Health, Family and Community you have the building blocks for leadership development. Investing in the transformation of Baltimore's leaders is more than inviting people to a program - it takes leadership - and not just leadership, but leadership with a purpose.

Seeing Transformation in Baltimore takes going where people live, listening to them, and pointing them to the God-given purpose(s) that will ultimately meet their deepest needs. However, this kind of wide-scale transformation and change begins at the individual level, one step at a time. From our leadership development and coaching services to our community development projects, you can partner with us as we strive to build a better future for Baltimore's communities.

Below is a summary of our pilot project:

1C9 Leadership Foundation will organize a free annual health fair located at the Penn North Recovery Center's fitness center called Will B. Better Bodies. Through this annual community health fair, signups will be available to low-income men and women in recovery who wish to be part of the 1C9 Emerging Leaders Program. The outcome of this emerging leaders program will allow 1C9 to support the development of Health and Wellness in the respective Neighborhoods of emerging leader applicants. The goal of the Emerging Leaders Program will be to create Workforce Development Opportunities for emerging leaders. In addition, we will offer leadership development workshops to our emerging leader applicants designed to help low-income families and members in the community interested in making a social impact in their respective communities. 1C9 leadership foundation will organize the event and work with the Will B. Better Bodies personnel to execute the activities for the health fair. One of the 1C9 Leadership Foundation's program goals is to collect information on Health and Wellness issues relevant in West Baltimore. We will accomplish this through Neighborhood Development Projects such as the Free Annual Health Fair. We will offer free health workshops that families in the community can sign up for during the event. 1C9 will organize the event and fundraising campaigns. The 1C9 leadership foundation will work with the Penn North Recovery Center's fitness center called Will B. Better Bodies personnel to execute the events health and wellness activities, health screenings and workshops during the health fair. In addition, The 1C9 Leadership Foundation will develop family development resources available to low income households. The goal of developing these resources is to provide single parents, adolescent parents and low income families access to materials and opportunities that increase capacity for parent leadership and increased children’s academic success. Information about our family leadership development resources will be available at the free annual community health fair.

Hi I was given your information from a copy writer and she stated that this organization may be a good opportunity to assist us in community building for District 2 and 30 of Dallas. I would like to schedule a call with someone to discuss more about what your organization does. Thank you!

Will you be updating the Precede-Proceed Model to match the 9 Phases (example: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1752-7325.2011.00235.x)? While it is not a huge deal to explain the newer version, it would make it easier people to understand if everything matched.

I'd appreciate any examples you can provide that aren't so geared to the business/profit world. Thanks!

will there be any legal issue if i use your words present in the web site of yours for my community organization..

Hi Team, I am heading a project team in Kampala and we intend to set up a free/low cost emergency ambulance service. Besides the current fundraising campaign, we are looking at possibilities of ambulance vehicle donation or related equipment. Any ideas as to how we can go about the idea?
