MAKING PROGRESS TOGETHER
Have you ever had the experience of talking with someone, and you see their eyes light up with clarity and understanding? It is a seminal moment. To know that not only has understanding been bridged but also an impact has been felt. Multiply that by 10 and that is the Financial Leadership Cohort experience, funded by The Jay and Rose Phillips Family Foundation.
In this blog post, Beverly Bushyhead shares how the cohort gathered together as interested strangers and seekers of knowledge, went through a shared time and curriculum, and what has evolved for these 10 nonprofit leaders. Read more.

ST. PAUL NEIGHBORHOOD NETWORK
Saint Paul Neighborhood Network (SPNN), founded in 1984 on the model of public access TV as a voice for its city’s residents, has seen major changes both in St. Paul’s demographic makeup and a digital revolution that has permanently shifted the use of media to provide access for authentic community voices.
NAF is proud to partner with SPNN as it continues to define its role in the ever-changing world of digital technology. More on our partnership here.

 LOAN SPOTLIGHT
YWCA St. Paul
For more than 100 years, YWCA St. Paul has been changing minds, bodies and lives by improving the quality of life of the people in its community. While programs have changed to meet the evolving needs of its community, YWCA’s commitment to its mission—elimination of racism and empowerment of women—has remained steadfast.
YWCA’s programs in four service area – Housing & Supportive Services, Youth Development, Health & Wellness, and Employment & Economic Development – respond to urgent community needs and produce enduring benefits to the community. Whether helping homeless families to make a new start, empowering young people to build bright futures, teaching skills to support self-sufficiency, or putting better health within reach, the YWCA helps people create change in their lives. Last year its programs and services helped more than 6,200 people to reach their goals and improve their quality of life.
As the YWCA of St. Paul refreshed its business model – reviewing programs, restructuring staff, analyzing costs, etc. – it needed a working capital loan during the transitions. NAF is proud to support the new leadership team at the Y as it explores ways to make the organization more nimble for today and for the future.
