Moving From Betterment to Empowerment

Heard folks talking about Toxic Charities and urban activist Robert Lupton from Atlanta? Check out his session on betterment vs development and his work in the inner city poor.

Excerpt from Toxic Charities, "Give once and you elicit appreciation. Give twice and you craft anticipation. Give three times and you create expectation. GIve four times and it becomes entitlement. Give fives times and you establish dependancy."

Francis Marion University Graduates Its Tenth Class of Nonprofit Leaders
  

It's not easy tackling a seven-month long training program when you are working full-time.

So, hats off to FMU Nonprofit Leadership Institute (NPLI) recent grads, pictured above, including participants in SCANPO's recently completed, federally funded Strengthening Communities Initiative.

SCANPO's Guiding Principles & Best Practices are an integral part of the NPLI course curriculum, as are guest lectures and case studies. Check out NPLI to review program requirement/schedule and its growing alumnae network of nonprofit leaders from across the state. Apply now for the 2012-2013 session.

As we roll out the new edition of the Guiding Principles, SCANPO seeks to collaborate with academic institutions and others to provide nonprofit leaders training closer to home.

Looking for an inspirational summer read? We recently picked up a copy of Start Something That Matters written by the founder of the wildly successful Toms Shoes.  

 

"When you have a memorable story about who you are and what your mission is, your success no longer depends on how experienced you are or how many degrees you have or who you know.  A good story transcends boundaries, breaks barriers, and opens doors." (pg 25)

 

Whether you are looking to start a social enterprise, have a more fulfilling job or just live a socially and environmentally responsible life, Start Something That Matters will help get you there.
