Virtual by Zoom
No one player can solve the complex and intertwining issues that we face today. That’s why Common Impact’s Spring 2023 Skills for Cities is dedicated exclusively to nonprofits in Texas.
Our signature day of service empowers professionals across sectors to take meaningful action by aligning their talents and expertise for powerful nonprofit capacity building and community impact. On average, nonprofits spend only 2-8% of their budget on essential infrastructure like HR, finance, technology, strategy, and marketing, compared to the 20-30% that companies spend. Building out these core capacities is critical for nonprofits to deliver on their missions.
Creating Solutions
During this day of service, teams of skills-based volunteers from participating companies will bring what they are already good at – business strategy, financial modeling, digital marketing, HR management, operations planning, vendor selection – and join nonprofit leaders in climate justice and racial equity to reinforce the capacity of their organizations. Nonprofits will gain new insights and fresh thinking for some of their toughest challenges while volunteers will grow their professional skills and understanding of the nonprofit sector.
Working together, we can bring our individual strengths to bear on the common goal of building safer, stronger, and more equitable communities.
