SUMMARY:Answering the $1 Billion Question: Data-Driven Strategies for Demonstrating Impact from CARES-Funded Activities
DESCRIPTION:CAA’s have been at the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic from Day One. This is one of the reasons Congress entrusted the Community Action Network with $1 billion to support critical Readiness\, Rapid Response\, Recovery and Resilience activities across the Network. As we begin to look back at the past year\, how do we effectively tell the story of our work? Which data should we highlight? More specifically: \n\nHow have we differentiated customers related to CARES funding from customers we would have otherwise served and how do we use the data from those two groups effectively. Or\, if we only have one group – customers – how do our data show CARES funding really did provide our communities with the ability to reach more families?\nHow are we capturing outcome data in an environment where immediate\, urgent services are the priority?\nHow are we preparing our community stakeholders for differences between what we “officially” report through the CSBG Annual Report and the work we have actually done?\n\nJoin the National Community Action Partnership’s Data Ambassadors for a discussion of how CAAs can effectively “connect the dots” for community stakeholders to demonstrate the tremendous work the network has accomplished and the impact it has had on families and communities across the country. \nClick here to register for the webinar.

SUMMARY:Ready to Serve: How to Build and Equip a Crisis-Ready Response Team
DESCRIPTION:Resilience is a concept we have all learned much more about in the last year. Organizational resilience is key to continued operation and growth in complex times. Melanie Lockwood Herman\, Executive Director of the Nonprofit Risk Management Center\, will be presenting an eight-part webinar series on developing more resilient organizations with practical tools for non-profit and public organizations. Each webinar will feature concrete\, hands-on approaches to building resilience from the inside out. Melanie will break down the concept of organizational resilience into the eight key themes we all need to learn and know to strengthen our agencies and our teams. The webinars are being released in conjunction with a robust\, interactive Resilience Toolkit also available through the Partnership. \nThis webinar explores three critical stages to create and support a crisis response team: 1. Reflect\, 2. Plan\, and 3. Practice. You’ll learn how and when planning and response teams differ (in composition as well as emphasis)\, how to ‘bake in’ lessons from previous crisis events into your planning and response strategies\, and why and how the substance and style of your planning activities matter. The webinar also explores approaches to ‘practicing’ what you’ve built before your next crisis is at hand\, rules of thumb for your crisis team\, and takeaways you can apply to create a crisis-ready response team. \nFuture webinars in this series will be held on the third Thursday of each month and will focus on topics such as Accessing Resilience Resources from Public and Private Sources and How to Become the Resilient Leader Your Mission Requires.

SUMMARY:Child Tax Credit Awareness Day Webinar with OCS\, OHS\, and NCAP
DESCRIPTION:NCAP is pleased to announce that Dr. Lanikque Howard of the Office of Community Services (OCS) and Ann Linehan of the Office of Head Start (OHS) will be joining us for the National Community Action Partnership Child Tax Credit (CTC) Awareness Day webinar on Monday\, June 21st at 3:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM CT / 1:00 PM MT / 12:00 PM PT. \nThe CTC is a critical component to ending poverty in America\, and is a proven method to cut child poverty in half. The Network plays a vital role in creating this reality. Community Action and Head Start staff connect directly with customers almost every day and they are trusted messengers.  They play a key role in elevating the visibility and impact the CTC benefit can provide for families\, even those who did not file taxes. The process will also allow families who may not have received the previous stimulus payments to receive those funds now.  In some cases\, this would be a substantial amount of money\, lifting their families up during this challenging time. \nIt is important to share this information with staff who engage directly with families and have them register to attend. You and your staff can register for the event here. \nTo learn more about the Child Tax Credit\, visit the new White House CTC Expansion page. Also\, view the Biden Administration’s announcement of Child Tax Credit Awareness Day and click here to view a flyer about the CTC from the White House.
