Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
FlockFest, more specifically, beyond the events, is a strategic non-profit fundraising foundation that partners with other non-profits for transformational change. FlockFest plans, manages, and promotes non-profit events that achieve fundraising goals and promote their mission to positively impact the community. FlockFest also helps other nonprofits promote their events by “co-hosting” events with the goal to raise as much money as possible for the charity. With this model of fundraising, FlockFest brings new meaning to the idea of Eat, Drink and Be Charitable!
FlockFest has a goal to help promote and elevate our partners and sponsors as they join the FlockFest family and in turn help do the same for FlockFest. According to Steven, FlockFest’s partners are not shy about sharing the sentiment that “we are all stronger together, supporting each other and raising each other up”.

- We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
- We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
- We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
- We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
- We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
- We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
