DESCRIPTION: Why do so many nonprofit organizations close down before achieving their goals? Join us for a discussion of common internal problems that end nonprofits and how they can be avoided by laying down a stronger foundation for the organization.\nWe will discuss several relevant topics, such as:\n\nhow nonprofit leadership necessarily differs from for-profit business leadership,\nissues that can arise when your internal power structures don't align with your values, with a look at alternative governance models,\nhow community building and staff wellness often determine your organization's longevity,\nand more.\n\nAttendees will learn specific strategies that can yield results during their organization’s next year, next five years, and next ten years.\nAbout the Speakers\nCommunities Rise provides free capacity building services and free legal advice to nonprofit organizations and small businesses, with a focus on supporting BIPOC-led organizations. This presentation is informed by our experience advising several nonprofit organizations and community groups over the years.\nKhyree Smith (he/they) is an educator, facilitator, and lifelong Seattleite who has worked in various roles within the Austin Foundation, OneWorld Now, and Seattle University. Khyree has been fortunate to provide services for thousands of youth and young adults throughout king County, often known commonly as “Coach Khyree.” Khyree believes in doing work “for the sake of the children,” holding the importance that any work you do should be in efforts to make a safe, happy, and flourishing world for youth to grow up in, and to continue to live in as adults.\nLivio De La Cruz (he/him) is a nonprofit attorney who brings several years of experience building, growing, and supporting grassroots, nonprofit organizations. Originally born in the Dominican Republic, Livio grew up in New York and Arizona before moving to Seattle in 2014. Before law school, Livio was a talented software engineer and indie videogame developer. His interest in law began when he became deeply involved with activist groups and nonprofit organizations. Livio became a lawyer in order to deepen and amplify his contributions to these movements, and he developed a specialty in nonprofit law in order to strengthen these community-led organizations. Livio’s legal practice is greatly informed by his experience being a nonprofit founder himself.\n\nFor details, click here: https://communitiesrise.secure.nonprofitsoapbox.com/component/events/event/37
