"Nonprofits and rights advocates are sounding the alarm about?H.R. 9495, or the Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act. The bill would provide tax relief for U.S. nationals and their spouses who are unlawfully or wrongfully detained or held hostage abroad but also includes?legislation?to terminate the tax-exempt status of "terrorist-supporting" groups." This terrifying legislation could be weaponized by the Trump administration to revoke the nonprofit status of any organization they consider an adversary including abortion funds, LGBTQIA groups, racial justice groups, climate advocates, and many others. The Treasury would not be required to give a reason or evidence for the designation. In addition to losing 501C3 status, organizations wouldn’t be able to receive bank services or donations. This would devastate the social sector. So many essential institutions would be lost at the discretion of the Trump administration. https://lnkd.in/ekdECDy9

This year in particular, many leaders are thinking about preparing their organizations to respond effectively to circumstances outside their control. Over the last several months, we've worked with teams on scenario-planning projects.?Our process not only supports teams in taking a measured approach to anticipating potential outcomes but also?increases leaders' capacity for proactivity and resilience within their organizations. We are available for one additional project through the end of 2024 with more expanded availability in 2025. If you'd like to talk about what is on the?horizon for your organization or any other planned transformations ahead, drop us a note at [email protected]!

We specialize in transformation projects. Deep transformation is often a slow and steady process that can take place over several years. Fortunately, there are moments when we have the opportunity to take stock of where we were, how far we've come, and what we're excited to tackle next. The launch of the Krupp Family Foundation website is exactly that. It includes: -Organizational Values (2021) -Grantmaking Process (2022) -Revised Mission Statement (2023) -Strategy Overview (2023) -Independent Board Members (2024) Incredible work Liana Krupp and Gabriella M. Mora, MPH! + the exceptional design of Victoria Strickland! https://lnkd.in/e97UrNF3

“... it remains difficult and necessary to walk the talk of shifting internal organizational cultures to align with the world we’re trying to build” Aria Florant emphasizes the critical need for progressive organizations to align their internal cultures with their external values, drawing on her own leadership experience and challenges as CEO of Liberation Ventures. Florant discusses the challenges of power dynamics, the harmful weaponization of antiracism frameworks, and the necessity of building reparative organizational cultures. She calls for a deep, systemic approach to repair, highlighting the importance of transforming our relationship with power to create organizations, coalitions, and a nation we can all thrive in. https://lnkd.in/g5RHT9WV

We just wrapped up a significant transformation project with a national immigrant rights movement organization and were moved by this meaningful feedback from their team! We deeply appreciate skepticism from leaders about working with consultants, in fact, for most of our clients engaging TC is their first experience with external support. At the kick-off of every project, we emphasize that their team are the experts on their organization and we are there as experts on the process. It is so important to our practice at TC that teams feel the right balance of support and autonomy when navigating complicated transitions. #nonprofit #consulting #transformationproject #hiring #leadership #leadershiptransitions #consultingservices

Transformation Collective is now open to new projects starting in April 2024! Annika Morgan and Mikelina Belaineh are two halves of a small consulting team supporting the next generation of transformative nonprofits, foundations, and movement organizations. As former nonprofit founders, operators, and organizers ourselves we aim to be the type of support we wish we had when leading our organizations. As TC, we work with leaders on strategy and operations projects and have come to specialize in supporting teams navigating periods of significant transformation, reflection, or growth.?This can look like: ?? Strategy: Impactful work starts with a solid strategy. We help teams get clear about what they are uniquely positioned to deliver on and what they may need to say no to in order to accomplish their goals. ?? Operations: Bring order to messy and inefficient internal practices by identifying the right combination of people, technology, and processes your team needs to get stuff done. ??♀? Leadership Coaching: There are often challenges that don’t fit neatly into a project. We provide coaching for leaders to talk through recurrent questions or manage through specific moments of transformation. ?? Training + Facilitation: Change can often mean building new skill sets as an organization. We offer team trainings and facilitated conversations on topics including: gender expansiveness, transformative practices, and shared decision-making. Have a challenge that's been slowing down your team since last year? Or a brand new issue that popped up unexpectedly last week?
