POC Collaborative

Earlier this week, POC Collaborative met with Mayor Ewing for a thoughtful and energizing conversation about the future of Omaha’s cultural and economic landscape.

Together, we explored opportunities to activate cultural hubs across the city, strengthen placemaking efforts, and support both nonprofit and for-profit programming in ways that reflect the diversity, talent, and economic potential of our communities.

We’re grateful for Mayor Ewing’s time and partnership, and we’re energized by the shared commitment to building a more unified and equitable Omaha!

From September 23–24, we gathered a small (but mighty!) crew at United Way of the Midlands in Millwork Commons for Diversity in Development: Purposeful Boards, Powerful Fundraising.

The group may have been intimate, but that meant every voice mattered — and the conversations went deep! Together we explored how to keep purpose at the center of board work and how fundraising can feel less like a task and more like an opportunity.

Diversity in Development is built for people of the Global Majority working in nonprofit and philanthropic development. It’s a space to build skills, share experiences, and connect with a powerful network of peers while learning from The Fund Raising School and trainers at IU’s Lilly Family School of Philanthropy.

If that sounds like something for you, we’d love to have you at a future session. ➡️ Learn more here: https://www.poccollaborative.org/purposeful-boards-powerful-fundraising
