Frank Velasquez, Director of AHN Sports Performance, joins Paul and Marty to discuss high rates of dropout in youth sports.
A look into the nuanced differences between donor-centric fundraising and community-centric fundraising, shedding light on the need for evolved donor engagement. Frank Velasquez, Jr., from 4daHood.com, begins with the historical approach to fundraising, which often prioritized donors' desires and overlooked the respect owed to the clients or communities served. Sharing his personal experience, Frank points to the significance of language in fundraising practices. He discusses how terms like "at risk" or "in poverty" can unintentionally marginalize and disrespect clients, illustrating the need for a shift towards more respectful and uplifting language that honors the dignity of the individuals served, sharing, "When you start using descriptive language that ends up not honoring or uplifting, then that's when it doesn't respect the clients." Frank leads us to the essence of community-centric fundraising, where the focus is not solely on donors but on centering the entire community, including donors, as active participants in the mission. He details the importance of storytelling and fostering a sense of belonging to deepen connections and inspire transformative change. Throughout the conversation, Frank stresses the importance of aligning internal language and messaging to ensure consistency across all organizational levels. Throughout, Frank speaks to the impact of small changes, such as incorporating pronouns or adopting trust-based philanthropy, in attracting donors who align with the organization's values. He encourages organizations to embrace evolving language and practices as a means of authentically representing their mission and fostering meaningful connections with donors and communities alike. Reflecting on the effect of language shifts, he adds , "That little simple change had this effect, and people outside the organization [started] understanding who you are and [that's] attracting those people, so that [was] a microcosm of what we're talking about."Watch on video!Follow us on the Twitter: @Nonprofit_ShowSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

The founder of 4DaHood talks about the importance of creating spaces for racial healing during this conversation focused on empowering authentic leadership. Frank Velasquez, Jr.'s organization is dedicated to supporting nonprofits and individuals in addressing racial equity issues, and he shares insights into his journey, motivations, and the evolution of his work. One of his key quotes during the discussion is, "Creating a space where people of color can heal." Frank underscores the significance of providing safe and supportive environments where people of color can come together to heal from the wounds of racial discrimination, microaggressions, and systemic inequities. These spaces offer individuals a sense of belonging and understanding among peers who share similar experiences. Frank also describes the concept of "learning separately to lead collectively," emphasizing the need for separate spaces where both people of color and white allies can engage in learning and dialogue about racial issues from their unique perspectives. He points out that these separate spaces allow individuals to work through their own biases and challenges before coming together to collectively address racial equity. This approach recognizes the value of both groups working in tandem to bring about change in policies and systems. Additionally, Frank highlights his efforts to create spaces for white allies to confront feelings of guilt and shame related to racial issues, acknowledging the significance of both people of color and white allies in the journey toward addressing systemic racism, emphasizing the importance of difficult conversations and the gradual process of chipping away at biases and misunderstandings. As he looks ahead to 2024, Frank Velazquez Jr. predicts a growing empowerment of individuals to authentically address racial issues and discussed the positive impact of his organization's programs, citing instances where individuals advocated for themselves and overcame challenges related to race. Watch and learn more about Frank's work around providing safe spaces, fostering understanding, and empowering individuals to address racial equity both separately and collectively in pursuit of positive change.

The ALL ME® Podcast Strategies for a Strength & Conditioning Program - Frank Velasquez Have you ever wanted to improve your athletic performance? It's a goal for many of us, but we may not know how to do it. In this episode, we talk with Frank Velasquez, the Director of Sports Performance for Alleghany Health Network. Frank started his career in strength and conditioning in the world of professional baseball in 1996 working for the Texas Rangers Baseball Club. In 2003 Frank was named the Major League Strength and Conditioning Coach for the Pittsburgh Pirates Baseball club where he held the position for the next 9 years. Since then Frank has been working in the privatized field of sports performance helping develop programs for athletes of all ages. In this episode we discuss where to start when developing a strength and conditioning program of your own. What are the fundamentals? How often should we be active? When should we start? In his position, Frank also provides his perspective on the state of youth sports today. Are our young athletes being pushed too hard? Are they training too early and too hard? What pressures are they currently facing? With many young people being told to get bigger, lose weight, get stronger, get faster, etc it is important that we manage these pressures to assure we all achieve our goals the right way.
