Urban Strategies Council Communications Cohort
For nearly 7 years, rootid has been co-designing learning groups for nonprofit leaders, providing a safe and supportive environment for peer collaboration and exploration. One such partnership took place with Urban Strategies Council through their Violence Prevention Grant.
This particular cohort aimed to address the specific needs of the participating organizations, while equipping them with the necessary tools to engage funders effectively.
ACLU Northern California launches their
2022 Annual Report
As the largest ACLU affiliate in the country, the ACLU of Northern California works to preserve and guarantee the protections of the Constitution’s Bill of Rights.
Back in 2013, The ACLU of Northern California originally approached Rootid to help revitalize their brand, develop custom web features that would optimize user experience, and integrate their SalesForce database for event management, donations and petitions in a more streamlined manner.
This year, we continued our support of their communication outreach by creating a custom web tool for their 2022 Annual Report. Their goal was to deepen donor engagement by providing community members an opportunity to further understand the impact of the organization’s work and learn more about the issues their community is facing.
ComNet23 poster session
Shifting Culture & Strengthening Communication
September in Atlanta
We are excited to announce our Director of Projects, Marcus Cinque Harris (he/him) will be a ShowCase Poster presenter at ComNet23 in Atlanta on Sept 20-22!
Our poster theme, "Shifting Culture & Strengthening Communication Starts With You!" will focus on a practical way to dismantle power structures and embody the values of equity and inclusion within your internal communications and culture. We look forward to seeing you there!
We are excited to be launching our first women’s in communications cohort this month. As we strive to provide equitable capacity building- money should not be a barrier to participation. We are leaning on our community to help support this vital work with a donation. Your gift will make way for a deserving woman to hone her skills and expand her organization’s impact.
From organizational decision-making processes, to identity and biases recognition, we invite you to explore how your personal, professional & organizational values align with your day-to-day communications practices.
Let's Talk!
In partnership, we co-design necessary spaces for strategic thinking, sustainability & growth—using communications & technology as vehicles to advance equity.
We join with others, envisioning a world where those most impacted are prioritized & communications & technology are used to heal & empower rather than divide. Learn more about our team.
