We live in a time of change and huge divides in our nation. But, one thing we can all agree on is that, when disaster strikes – we want everyone to be safe. That is why I am proud to be Chair of the Board of Directors for Creative Crisis Leadership: Through imagination, games and play, we create fun spaces where individuals and communities can come together and discover what they need to set themselves up to come through disaster safely and well.
Today, I am very excited to announce that we are embarking on a new phase in our journey. We have left our fiscal sponsorship and are standing on our own nonprofit legs:
Creative Crisis Leadership is officially an independent 501(c)3!
[Fireworks going off. Trumpet fanfares. 👉🏿 Donate here]
Being an independent nonprofit means that we are now eligible to apply for State and Federal funds for work that is desperately needed. It also means taking on more responsibilities and duties. So, while we are eligible for more project and funding opportunities, we still need your financial support in order to be able to empower individuals and communities to prepare for disaster. 👉🏿 Donate here
For those of you who’ve traveled with us for years, we are so grateful for your support! Without you, we would not have gotten this far.
For those of you who are new to our journey, welcome! We know we will be able to do more because you are here with us.
We have proven our approach works! Instead of ignoring boring binders, our games land in people’s hearts and minds. After playing, people follow through to prepare their families and talk to neighbors about steps needed before, during and after a disaster to help each other.
In this time of change and divides in our nation, let’s work together to foster the strong communities needed to face disaster.
Join our journey. Your contributions will make sure our legs are strong for the next phase, and are 100% tax deductible! 👉🏿 Donate here
Sincerely,
Lindsay
