ONE WORLDS MISSION IS TO UNITE A PHILANTHROPIC COMMUNITY IN FUNDING GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS THAT PROVIDE FOOD, HEALTH, SHELTER, SAFETY, EDUCATION, AND OPPORTUNITY FOR CHILDREN LIVING IN POVERTY AROUND THE WORLD.

IN FYE 23, OUR $619,357 OPERATIONAL BUDGET ENABLED $2,359,607 IN FISCALLY SPONSORED FUNDS TO REACH INTERNATIONAL GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS AND $125,140 IN STRATEGIC GRANTS TO BE AWARDED TO HELP GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS REMAIN RESILIENT AND SUSTAINABLE. STRATEGIC GRANTS: 5 ORGANIZATIONS RECEIVED A TOTAL OF $68,500 IN SECOND YEAR SUSTAINABILITY FUND GRANTS. 3 ORGANIZATIONS RECEIVED A TOTAL OF $16,640 IN RESILIENCE FUND GRANTS. 2 ORGANIZATIONS RECEIVED A TOTAL OF $40,000 IN NEW SUSTAINABILITY FUND GRANTS. OUR RESILIENCE FUND PROVIDES A RAPID INFUSION OF RESOURCES TO ORGANIZATIONS RESPONDING TO CRISES AND EMERGENCIES. OUR SUSTAINABILITY FUND HELPS MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS IMPLEMENT CRITICAL, YET TRADITIONALLY HARD TO FUND, SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVES. OUR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING SUCCEEDED IN SHIFTING PERSPECTIVES AND INSPIRING ACTION. THE PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO HELP ORGANIZATIONS REMAIN A SUSTAINABLE SOURCE OF STRENGTH AND HOPE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. OUR MEMBERS CONTRIBUTED THEIR EXTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE TO PEER-LED VIDEOS, PROVIDING PRACTICAL INSIGHTS INTO TOPICS COVERED IN OUR SUCCESSION PLANNING TRAINING SERIES. OUR INITIAL FOCUS WAS ON SUCCESSION PLANNING. NEW CONTENT ON BUILDING STRONG BOARDS OF DIRECTORS WAS DEVELOPED IN LATE 2023 AND IS CURRENTLY BEING RELEASED.

OUR MEMBERS USED OUR ON-DEMAND VIDEOS, THOUGHT PROVOKING EXERCISES, ASSESSMENTS, TOOLS AND TEMPLATES TO TAKE CONCRETE STEPS TOWARDS ORGANIZATIONAL SUSTAINABILITY. THREE ORGANIZATIONS SHOWED THE TRAININGS TO THEIR BOARDS OF DIRECTORS AND PREPARED EMERGENCY SUCCESSION PLANS. TWO ORGANIZATIONS REORGANIZED ACCESS TO ESSENTIAL INFORMATION IN CASE OF SUCCESSIONS. TWO ORGANIZATIONS USED THE TRAININGS TO DOCUMENT PREPARATION FOR PLANNED SUCCESSIONS. ONE ORGANIZATION INCORPORATED OUR MATERIALS INTO STRATEGIC PLANNING WORKING SESSIONS. ANOTHER ORGANIZATION BEGAN UPSKILLING A PROMISING ADMINISTRATOR TO PREPARE FOR THE IMPENDING RETIREMENT OF THEIR FOUNDING LEADER. YET ANOTHER ORGANIZATION SHARED THE TRAININGS WITH THEIR ENTIRE LEADERSHIP TEAM AND THEN USED OUR BUILT-IN ASSESSMENTS TO FACILITATE DISCUSSIONS AROUND TRANSITION PREPAREDNESS. TO FURTHER MAXIMIZE THE IMPACT OF OUR SUCCESSION PLANNING TRAINING SERIES, WE MATCHED TWO ORGANIZATIONS WITH A COACH TO HELP THEM DEVELOP SPECIFIC PLANS TO BOLSTER THEIR ORGANIZATIONS SUSTAINABILITY AND PREPAREDNESS FOR PLANNED AND UNPLANNED SUCCESSIONS.
