SUMMARY:Assume Collaboration: Philanthropic Opportunities for Aggregating Impact
DESCRIPTION:This conversation engaged philanthropic leaders working at the national\, state and local levels and practitioners from leading early childhood organizations in a discussion exploring the importance of cross-sector\, cross-program collaboration and the roles that funders can play in fostering collaboration.  \nPresenters included: \n\nBrenda Blasingame\, Program Officer\, Pritzker Children’s Initiative\, J.B. and M.K. Pritzker Family Foundation \nRebecca Cisek\, Ed.D.\, Vice President\, Organizational Learning and Effectiveness\, Bainum Family Foundation \nCeline Coggins\, Ph.D.\, Executive Director\, Grantmakers for Education \nKatherine Correll\, Principal\, Philanthropic Partnerships\, LENA \nAnu Malipatil\, Vice President\, Education\, Overdeck Family Foundation \nSarah McBroom\, Equity Officer\, Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation \nNatalie Tackitt\, NC HealthySteps Coordinator\, ZERO TO THREE \n\nCoggins provided a macro-level view of the ways in which funders are tilting increasingly toward collaboration and described how funders are responding to the challenges posed by the pandemic. The four funders then drilled down\, offering concrete examples of the ways in which they are creating connections among grantees; providing long-term\, flexible funding that includes staffing required for convening and collaborating; promoting peer sharing and problem solving; and utilizing a human-centered design approach where residents and service providers craft the strategies and solutions. They stressed that relationship building is not a linear process and that collaboration involves “time\, trust and turf”. \nCorrell and Tackitt described how their organizations are engaged in collaborations at both the local and national levels and offered advice to funders for fostering collaboration among nonprofit programs that might feel competition for the resources needed to sustain and grow their programs. Tackitt explained how Ready for School\, Ready for Life\, a collaborative effort in Guilford County\, North Carolina\, is engaging cross-sector partners to support young children. Correll reflected on the dynamics of national organizations partnering with local organizations and highlighted the ways in which national\, state and local funders can help pave the way for strong partnerships across those geographies.  \nEven before the pandemic\, it was clear that intentional and effective collaboration would be required to achieve bigger\, better outcomes that are both scalable and sustainable for children experiencing economic disadvantage. The panelists in this session provided an array of critical insights about fostering and maintaining collaboration. If you missed this dynamic conversation\, we encourage you to watch the recording\, found in the archived materials linked below.  \n\n\n\n\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				If you were able to attend the session\, we would love to hear your feedback!

SUMMARY:The Centrality of Relationships: Tutors\, Mentors\, Coaches and Parents
DESCRIPTION:I never do anything bad enough or good enough to get an adult’s attention. \n– Keontai\, 11 \n\nMany years ago\, the above words were said to David Shapiro of MENTOR\, one of the panelists in this September 21\, 2021 GLR Learning Tuesdays webinar. Keontai’s statement encapsulates the fundamental need for the positive adult-child relationships enabled by mentoring\, coaching\, and tutoring programs. Shapiro was joined by Janet Carter of Coaching Corps\, Gina Martinez-Keddy of Parent Teacher Home Visits and Adeola Whitney of Reading Partners in a conversation exploring the transformative power and potential of relationships.  \nIn a conversation moderated by John Gomperts\, Executive Fellow with CGLR\, these leaders shared their insights\, advice\, and impactful stories illustrating their shared goal of making strong\, supportive and lasting relationships with young people an end and not just a means. They described how the caring adults involved in their respective programs help to ensure that every child gets the attention they want and need ― without needing to do anything good or bad\, as Keontai expressed so starkly. Panelists also highlighted how tutors\, mentors and coaches prioritize parent perspectives and engagement to both strengthen the parent-teacher dyad and create an expanded triad of support to accelerate learning and development. \nThe incredible stories shared and ideas exchanged by this panel conversation created a vibrant atmosphere of co-learning as each speaker built off the others’ remarks and responded to questions and comments from participants. If you missed this engaging and dynamic special rebroadcast\, we encourage you to watch the recording to see what you missed.
