  One very effective strategy to increase post-secondary success and career readiness is the career ladder, i.e., scaffolding credentials and degrees to maximize earning potential. Health care careers have been one of the most effective implementations of this strategy. In this meeting we will hear about a successful practical application led by philanthropy. 
  
  Nate Cousineau, Senior Program Officer at Quantum Foundation will present an overview of the Quantum Foundation Health Care Career Pipeline program.
  First developed in 2014, Quantum Foundation's Health Care Career Pipeline program promotes interest in health care as a career in middle and high school, works with partners along the educational pipeline to offer multiple entry points for students into health care careers while leveraging partnerships with key post-secondary institutions including Palm Beach State College and Florida Atlantic University to create a post-secondary career track.
  
  The pipeline supports students formally and informally. The variety of local partnerships mean easy on-ramps for other mission-aligned partners to coalesce around the mission of creating a pathway into health care careers for under-represented students.  Their pipeline framework can be useful for other sectors outside of health care and can serve as a model for other networks looking to create a longitudinal method of supporting students along a educational and career pathway.

    Webinar

  How do different families approach their giving? Is there a single, homogeneous model that works for everyone?

  You're invited to join us for an enlightening conversation on the any facets of family philanthropy with subject matter experts Miki Akimoto and Elizabeth Wong. From discussing the ups and downs of family giving to defining who constitutes "family" in a foundation, you'll hear real-life examples of how today's philanthropic families are navigating the highs, and yes sometimes, the lows of their charitable giving.

  In this session, we'll also cover:

  • Adapting best practices
    
  • Defining what it means to participate
    
  • Rethinking who is eligible to participate
    
  • Crafting invitations and strong onboarding practices for engaging in the family's giving
  • Key takeaways for common scenarios

  Registration is specific to family foundations.

  Untangling Demographic Paradoxes for Funders [PEAK Florida]

  Join us for an informative virtual session that is designed for funders at any stage of their demographic data collection journey. Collecting demographic data plays a crucial role in revealing the makeup of a nonprofit's leadership and the communities it serves. However, asking nonprofits for this data can place additional strain on  these organizations. In this session, you'll hear from two PEAK Florida chapter members who will each showcase their foundation's demographic data journey and share specific use-cases. In addition, we will explore the following topics:

  • How demographic data collection drives equity and increases transparency for both nonprofits and funders
  • Using best practices for requesting, collecting, and disseminating demographic data and how those align with the Principles for Peak Grantmaking
  • The importance of standardizing and looking at census data to help identify gaps in funding and inform grantmaking strategies
    
  • How to build a case and provide a rationale to you staff and board regarding the value of your foundation providing demographics

  How Nonprofits, Government, and Funders Work Together Before Disaster Strikes

  Disasters of any kind have the potential to affect communities in Florida. The most effective disaster response comes from being prepared, and the best preparations involve many stakeholders in a community. These stakeholders include nonprofits, funders, local government, volunteer organizations, and more.
  

  
  

  This half day workshop, presented by Florida Nonprofit Alliance and Florida Philanthropic Network, is designed to provide examples of how communities around the state have responded to disasters, both natural and man-made, and the lessons they learned about how to prepare going forward. Join us to hear from a panel of your peers, then meet with others from your region to discuss how you can best prepare for future disasters. You'll leave with ideas to strengthen your community and feel prepared to implement them.
