My morning read today is a report on how it's harder to recruit and retain talent in the non-profit sector.
It's from the the Nonprofit Chamber in my city. #talentacquisition #nonprofit #yyc #FediHire

It Turns Out That Trump Can't Defund #NPR And #PBS
@npr and @pbs are part of a private #nonprofit corporation, which means that Trump can't #defund them, because they aren't a part of the #federalgovernment.

Mastodon entwickelt seine Organisationsstruktur weiter: Das Projekt wird kĂźnftig von einer neu gegrĂźndeten europäischen Stiftung getragen, deren rechtliche Grundlagen nun stehen. Die bisherige US-501(c)(3)-Organisation bleibt fĂźr Fundraising und Beratung zuständig. Vorstandsmitglied Amir Ghavi, der den Wandel juristisch begleitete, trat zurĂźck. Neu im Vorstand ist Hannah Aubry, Expertin fĂźr Community- und Open-Source-Arbeit. Auch das Team wächst: David, Shannon und Echo verstärken die Technik, Scott Jenson berät zur Produktstrategie, Andy Piper ist neuer Kommunikationsleiter, Philip SchrĂśpel wurde Chief of Staff, Zora Steiner Junior-Projektmanagerin. Das Team zählt nun 15 Personen, davon 3 in Teilzeit oder freiberuflich. Mastodon bleibt werbefrei, datenschutzfreundlich und dezentral â ohne Risikokapital. Die Organisation setzt weiter auf Community-UnterstĂźtzung fĂźr Entwicklung, Betrieb und politische Arbeit im Fediverse.

Mastodon entwickelt sich weiter: GrĂźnder Eugen Rochko Ăźbergibt seine Rolle als CEO, um sich kĂźnftig auf die technische Entwicklung zu konzentrieren. Die FĂźhrung geht an eine neue europäische Non-Profit-Organisation Ăźber. Ziel ist, Mastodon dauerhaft als dezentrales, werbefreies und gemeinnĂźtziges soziales Netzwerk zu sichern. Dieser Schritt soll organisatorische Stabilität schaffen und die Abhängigkeit von Einzelpersonen reduzieren. Die neue Struktur stärkt die Unabhängigkeit von Mastodon, erleichtert Kooperationen und verbessert die Vertretung gegenĂźber der Ăffentlichkeit. Eugen bleibt als Entwickler und technischer Berater aktiv. Die Vision: Ein demokratischeres, transparenteres und dauerhaft community-getriebenes Netzwerk.
⢠Rochko tritt als CEO zurßck
⢠Neue Non-Profit fßhrt Mastodon
⢠Fokus auf Transparenz und Stabilität
⢠Weiterhin dezentral, werbefrei und offen
⢠Entwicklerrolle bleibt bei Eugen

#Pentagon's #AI metals program goes #private
A US govt-created #ArtificialIntelligence program that aims to predict the supply & price of critical #minerals has transferred control to a #nonprofit organization that is helping miners & manufacturers strike #supply deals.
Launched in late 2023 under #Bidenâs the Dept of #Defense, the Open Price Exploration for #NationalSecurity AI #metals program is an attempt to counter #China's control of the critical minerals sector.
Hey friends! Weâre starting a new grassroots collective focused on climate justice, animal lives and returning biodiversity.

I'm extremely proud of the team for pulling this together and establishing a network with all of the relevant orgs!
"As #YIVO Institute for #Jewish Research archivists pored over 200,000 pages of materials from the #literary estate of acclaimed #Yiddish #writer Chaim Grade, which the #nonprofit acquired in 2010 after Gradeâs widow died, they knew of rumors of an unpublished novel. Several years into their research, they found the #manuscript of Sons and Daughters, which, with YIVOâs help, was #published in English last month.
Excavating lost Jewish cultural gems has been a cornerstone of YIVOâs mission for 100 years, since it was founded in 1925, according to Jonathan Brent, the nonprofitâs CEO, who has led the organization for more than 15 years."

So even former #OpenAI employees think the conversion from #Nonprofit to ForProfit is suspect. Here's their open letter to the Attorneys General https://notforprivategain.org/
At a time of great threat to #civilsociety - and great imaginations at work about new org forms and #funding - this is important.
