Sobre #IA: Entre tanta incertidumbre, estigmas y temores respecto al uso de IA en entornos laborales y académicos, decidí dar un paso al frente y registrarme al #workshop organizado por The Resource Alliance y liderado por la experta Kaz McGrath, principalmente por dos razones: 📌 Porque trabajo para un sector donde el tiempo debe ser gestionado lo más eficientemente posible, dado que los recursos humanos y financieros casi siempre son limitados. 📌 Y, porque me importa el impacto que puede generar mis acciones en todos los roles y ámbitos donde me desempeño. Este punto siempre me ha llevado a la búsqueda de caminos donde convergen la ética, la filosofía aplicada y el pensamiento crítico. Entonces, ¿Qué me llevo de la #AIFundamentalsMasterclass? 🌟 Las IA son tecnologías que las venimos usando por más de una década, aunque en el último año han sido capaces de mejorar su performance a una velocidad dificil de imaginar, probablemente eso es lo que nos causa mayor incertidumbre y temor. 🌟 No es que la IA sea una pésima o excelente herramienta, ello dependerá del usuario que la utilice. Además, recuerda que frente al resultado generado (fuese el que fuese), el responsable siempre será el humano a cargo, jamás la IA. 🌟 Como #Reflexión: ¿Ya imaginas la enorme brecha de participación de profesionales mujeres en el desarrollo de estas técnologías, verdad? Entonces, si aún tienes algún estigma con el uso de IA, al menos comencemos a vincularnos con ellas y dominarlas como usuarias, ¿No lo crees?. Por cierto, esta publicación no fue realizada con IA. A veces, también es placentero simplemente permitirnos momentos para crear, decidir y comunicar desde lo más genuino de nuestra experiencia. ¿Paradójico, verdad?. Y tú ¿Cuándo fue la última vez que elegiste crear/producir algo solo por el placer de hacerlo? ✍️✨ #AIDiscussions #Reflexiones #ThirdSector #EthicalPractices

Globally, we're witnessing an escalation of tactics designed to silence our sector, to halt our impact, and to roll back hard-won gains in diversity, equity, and inclusion. Without funding, advocacy is stifled and essential services vanish. That’s why we're here: to equip you with the tools, strategies, and networks to push back, build financial resilience, and sustain movements. Financial resilience isn’t just about survival, it's about resistance. Dive into the Fix to stay informed, get inspired, and access free resources.

Navigating rapid growth, fame, and change—while responding to an urgent humanitarian crisis—means adapting ways of working and adopting an agile mindset. In less than a year, Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) grew its annual income from GBP £10m to over GBP £50m. The organisation went from having a small, niche, and dedicated supporter base to attracting tens of thousands of new supporters from more than 150 countries. Sign up free for Fundraisng Online: #FRO2025 to hear how MAP adapted its ways of working and fundraising programme to deliver on ambitious goals, while planning for a future in which media attention and public interest fades, but need continues to be great.

This week I'm rolling out my blog post before my newsletter because: a. Newsletter isn't done. It's too snowy still in Stratford so I'm feeling blue. b. I'm working on a strategic plan refresh for a client this week too busy. But I've had this blog post in the cue for a couple of weeks and I just HAD to share it. There is so much good information and resources in the webinar I've written about that I couldn't wait to share it with you. A couple of weeks ago I attended a webinar hosted by the The Resource Alliance and presented by Daisy O'Reilly-Weinstock and it blew my mind. This webinar provided validation, resources and so many fabulous insights for what is happening to me, my community and my state of mind lately. If it feels like the world is in constant crisis, you're not alone.   From war to economic turmoil to climate collapse, it’s no wonder many of us feel like we’re living through a polycrisis—we actually are. The whole mess can leave one feeling hopeless.   We’re becoming a society of “exhausted, disconnected & apathetic post-people.” She referenced a term that captures this mood—anhedonia—the inability to enjoy things that once brought pleasure. Sound familiar?   But this session wasn’t about wallowing. It was a call to action. The central message: HOPE IS A VERB. It's not passive. It’s something we do, something we build—together. So for a small taste check out my summary of what I took away from Daisy's webinar: Navigating Cultural Trends - How Non-profits Can Adapt in Uncertain Times. And then follow the links within it to join The Resource Alliances's Global community. Run into trouble reach out to James Tennet and he will set you up. But first - my take aways. (HINT: HOPE IS A VERB!) If it feels like the world is in constant crisis, you're not alone.   From war to economic turmoil to climate collapse, it’s no wonder many of us feel like we’re living through a polycrisis—we actually are.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that fundraising is among the biggest struggles for nonprofit organisations, and fundraisers frequently struggle with impossible asks, tight deadlines, and feelings of isolation. At ILSS, we believe that fundraising is the engine of social impact and fundraisers are essential evangelists for our work. Current trends in the global funding landscape mark this as a particularly pivotal moment to reimagine existing approach to fundraising. With over 700 nonprofit leaders, fundraisers, funders, and ecosystem enablers attending the India Fundraising Conference 2025 held earlier this year, the social sector is now gearing up to invest in this critical function.
