Exciting fundraising for data projects!
Speaker:
Alexander Shermansong, CEO of Civic Consulting USA
Alexander raised and deployed $100 million pro bono in projects in Chicago and is starting similar effort in NYC:
- 80% increase in graduation: With five pro bono partners, City Colleges of Chicago designed and launched the Reinvention plan
- 25% reduction in wait time: County health clinics cut patients' wait time as part of system-wide transformation undertaken with 70 individuals donating $3 million in service
- 51% reduction in youth violence: Consulting, foundation, and university partners helped design a summer program with long-term behavior improvements for youth at the highest risk of being involved in violence.
Outline:
He shared successful strategies and tactics to:
- Engage companies in pro bono work
- Raise funds
- Manage cross-company teams toward societal outcomes
- Work effectively with government and public sector leaders
Alexander also shared his insight on NYC civic hacking opportunities. He was looking for collaboration in consulting, programming, design, and other fields.
