Dreaming Big
“If you received a “transformative” gift tomorrow (one big enough to change your organization or the way you work), what would it transform? What size gift would that be, and how do you think you would use it? Would you build a building, change a program, make a key hire? Dream big! We would like to know what you think it would take to move your organization to a new level of impact.”
This is the question the Community Foundation asked of our Spring 2009 grantees in their final reports. The responses were exciting. Some organizations said they had already been having this conversation with their staff and board. Some answers were short, some were long, and all reflected the energy and passion that people in the nonprofit sector bring to their everyday work.
The answers intrigued us and we decided we wanted to hear from more people. So tell us - whether you are the CEO, a program staffer, a board member, a volunteer, an interested onlooker – what is your dream? What would it take to move your nonprofit to a new level? What would it take to solve the problems you address every day?
Share your thoughts in the comments below, or – if you prefer – send them to me as an email at mcash@pacf.org. Please indicate your organization’s name and your role, and whether or not we have permission to share your thoughts.
Let’s take a few minutes to dream about what it would take to change our communities forever.
