"From the beginning, we decided the focus was about the kids. We had a critical desire to grow as a family, and we were committed to doing the work to get our kids back and keep our family together." Powerful words from the Page family, who participated in CHSW’s Parents for Parents program (P4P) to help reunite with their children.

Giving back never gets old. Seeing the impact of the donations received at The Giving Cup on local nonprofits is just one reminder why I will always fight for community banking. It’s not an easy industry to navigate. We have to fight against often unfair competition, scalability of resources, a regulatory environment which too often becomes one size fits all rather than focusing on the large institutions posing the most systemic risk and so many more challenges. The ability to differentiate ourselves as a community bank and remain relevant is a topic in every boardroom, yet so often in our industry fresh ideas are met with fear of change, resulting in banks finding it easier to merge or be acquired. Even on the hardest days, I am reminded we are here for more. I look at the students and teachers receiving recognition, fire departments receiving needed gear, those with disabilities receiving needed services, and children served at North Star receiving hope. Each check represents donations from merely cups of coffee. The little things do add up…so far to over $50,000 with 💯% being returned to organizations like North Star. What we stand for and how we give back as an industry is absolutely worth the fight. 🙌🏼 #whatbankingcanbe #banklocally #whereyoubankmatters ❤️

This mirrors other just economy work that I have been privileged to be on the periphery of, Andrea Anderson. This call needs to not only focus on dedication of resources, but also on reframing what it looks like to work together. #BmoreInvested learned a lot about transformative funding, but also we learned about philanthropic collaborations and a little about what it takes to build those relationships and introduce new behaviors. I was just on the advisory committee and also privileged to work with other dynamic groups working towards transformation in our approach to fueling the help that is needed to reframe society, like CLLCTIVLY which focuses on Black-led transformation and Wealth Reclamation Academy of Practitioners which serves the nexus of resourcing and organizing. There is so much humble learning through action and organizing, so much courageous experimentation and audacious envisioning to actualize.

"What is critical for donors and funders to know is that because of their flexibility, 501(c)(4)s are a key strategy for Black-led movements. They keep vital community building work going year-round, but often face extreme dry spells in resources outside of tokenism and last-minute flow of resources during election season to turn out Black voters. Might we envision a radical shift where Black-led advocacy groups are on par in their funding with a 501(c)(4) giant like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)?"
