In this episode of the Nonprofit News Feed by Whole Whale, hosts George Weiner and Nick Azulay delve into critical topics affecting the nonprofit sector, focusing on the response to the LA wildfires, the politicization of fundraising platforms, and innovative governance in nonprofit organizations. LA Wildfires and Nonprofit Mobilization The episode opens with a detailed discussion on the LA wildfires, where thousands of firefighters are battling blazes across 45 square miles, affecting 88,000 residents under evacuation orders. Local nonprofits like K Town for All and Covenant House have stepped up, creating supply chains and providing shelter for those displaced. Airbnb.org also announced emergency housing for over 25,000 people, highlighting the critical role of nonprofit and corporate collaboration in crisis response. George emphasizes the importance of nonprofits having a pre-established networked response plan for such disasters. He urges organizations to prepare coordinated fundraising strategies to capitalize on moments of compassion, ensuring sustained support for long-term recovery efforts. Politicization of Fundraising Platforms The conversation shifts to the controversy surrounding the use of ActBlue in fundraising for wildfire relief, highlighting how political narratives can complicate nonprofit efforts. Critics accused fundraiser organizers of profiting off the fires due to ActBlue's association with progressive causes. George and Nick stress the importance of nonprofits being aware of the political implications of their chosen platforms and maintaining transparency to avoid misinterpretation and backlash. Innovative Governance: The Ocean as a Board Member In a unique twist on nonprofit governance, the Scottish Association for Marine Science has named the ocean as a trustee on its board. This move aligns with legal innovations granting personhood to natural entities, aiming to incorporate environmental interests directly into decision-making. George envisions the potential of AI representing non-human stakeholders, offering a futuristic approach to stakeholder inclusion in governance. Mastodon's Nonprofit Restructuring The episode also covers Mastodon's restructuring to form a new nonprofit organization in Europe, differentiating itself from CEO-controlled networks. This shift towards decentralized control aims to enhance transparency and align with public benefit objectives, setting a precedent for social media platforms. Feel-Good Story: Greening Urban Spaces Concluding on a positive note, the hosts highlight the efforts of Denver-based nonprofit The Park People, which provides affordable trees to low-canopy areas, addressing environmental and socio-economic disparities. This initiative underscores the multifaceted benefits of urban greening, from reducing heat to improving community well-being. Final Thoughts The episode underscores the dynamic challenges and innovations within the nonprofit sector, from crisis response and fundraising complexities to pioneering governance models that prioritize environmental stewardship. Nonprofit leaders are encouraged to prepare for crises, consider the broader implications of their operational choices, and embrace innovative governance practices.

The Broncos are headed to the playoffs for the first time in nine years. But do they deserve a new stadium? And should taxpayers pay for it? It's Friday and we're looking back at the biggest news of the week, starting with an investigative series from the Denver Post digging into the economics and politics of big stadium projects. Then, beyond Blucifer and the big blue bear, is there a third big blue creature out there? Host Bree Davies, producer Paul Karolyi, and politics and green chile correspondent Justine Sandoval dig into these stories, plus the District 31 senate vacancy vote, a loss for the local music scene, and more highs and lows of the week. Bree talked about our interview with historian David Forsyth about Manhattan Beach and Roger the Elephant. She also mentioned Jason Heller's memorial piece in Westword about the passing of musician Luke Fairchild and you heard from one of his many bands, Kingdom of Magic. She also discussed the Park People's Denver Digs Trees low-cost tree program. Paul mentioned this 1998 article about Kyle Shanahan and the Broncos' campaign for a new stadium, the Littleton rezoning situation, and Matt Ball. Justine talked about snow tires and the state budget deficit.  What is your “toxic Colorado trait”? It you're brave enough to share, we want to hear it!

It's been a rough summer for everyone, but people have found ways to get outside and make the most of it. In this episode, we speak to 8 80 Cities' Managing Director Lanrick Bennett Jr. about the ActiveTO bike lanes and CafeTO patio spaces on Danforth Avenue in Toronto: a response to the need for alternative transportation routes and socially-distant business during COVID. And we talk to Park People's Adri Stark and Jake Tobin Garrett about their second annual Canadian Parks Report, and their national COVID-19 and Parks Survey. And we speak to author and musician Jonny Dovercourt about his new book Any Night of the Week: A D.I.Y. history of Toronto music 1957-2001, the unsung legacy of the city's music scene, and our disappearing venues.

    Dr. Rebowe and I both spent six-plus years at Wake Forest learning to think the same way. We're not butting heads. Naturally, we feel the same way think the same way. I feel like we've just doubled me with a great surgeon, a great decision-maker, and a smart brain. Now we can do all the things that we need to do, do them better, more efficiently, and can be more available to our patients. - Dr. Park Dr. Park and I are an absolute team. We help each other out on surgeries. It's not just better for us in terms of getting things done, but it's better for patients. People are getting two brains in an operation and decreased surgery time. Overall, it's a better experience for the patients. - Dr. Ryan Rebowe In this episode, you will meet Dr. Ryan Rebowe, the newest face and Plastic Surgeon at The Park Clinic. Dr. Park has wanted to grow his practice, and Dr. Rebowe's addition has increased the options, availability, efficiency, and skills for the patients of The Park Clinic and Medspa at the park. Learn about Dr. Rebowe's medical journey, his passion for Plastic Surgery, and how Dr. Park and he seamlessly work together. Need a consultation with Dr. Park or Dr. Rebowe? Click here or call 251.445.8888 Key Takeaways: - Dr. Ryan Rebowe is now available for appointments and consultations at The Park Clinic. - Dr. Rebowe and Dr. Park make a great Plastic Surgery team. Two brains are better than one for all the patients at The Park Clinic. - Dr. Rebowe and Dr. Park are dedicated to helping with any cosmetic issues, trauma, cancer, and any procedure to reach the intended outcomes for their patients. - There are no minor issues. If something physically is bothering you, schedule a consultation with a well-trained Plastic Surgeon and have a discussion to see the many surgical and non-invasive options that we offer.   Sponsor The Park Clinic in Mobile, Alabama Quotable & Notable   Plastic Surgery is not really about changing the way you look; it's about changing the way the world looks at you. Dr. Ryan Rebowe The average time that anyone thinks about having a cosmetic procedure before walking into our office is two years. That's two years that you could have been living your best life. Those are two years that you could have had this thing that holds you back. - Dr. Ryan Rebowe Even on the cosmetic side of plastic surgery, we are changing lives. We are making people happier. Statistics show that people are happier, healthier, and more successful in their business after cosmetic surgery. - Dr. Park People carry themselves differently when they're more self-confident, and it makes you more successful. It makes you more powerful in a meeting, and people are just happier, more successful in life, marriage, and work. - Dr. Park Plastic Surgeons help out with trauma, cancer, and cosmetic procedures. We operate head to toe on everything from three week olds to 100-year-olds. It's why I chose plastic surgery. - Dr. Park Even if you're not a good candidate for surgery, whether or not it's other medical problems, or maybe you're just not quite ready for surgery there are other things that we can do to temporarily make it better, or give a new outlook on life, providing a better way to carry yourself. - Dr. Ryan Rebowe There are so many things in terms of non-surgical options between injectables, lasers, equipment, or even a good skin regimen to really change the way a person looks and feels. - Dr. Ryan Rebowe I've got some breaking news; you're not going to figure out what Plastic Surgery you need on Dr. Google. - Dr. Park Hand rejuvenation, it's a new frontier in plastic surgery. - Dr. Ryan Rebowe The benefit of having two surgeons is that we frequently bounce things off each other. It's not infrequent that one of us will mention something the other one didn't think about. - Dr. Ryan Rebowe It's nice to have two brains thinking about what we can do and what we can offer our patients. - Dr. Ryan Rebowe
