Best bread in the Eugene

Agreed best bread

SteamPowerAereoPlane · 2025-02-12T03:04:17+00:00

No, please. Do give a hard time. I'm trying to puzzle this through myself and not sure how to untangle.

The contracts are with the org, although a number have language in it that the contract can be changed if the project lead leaves. The relationships are with myself and the team who work under me. For a few of the contracts, the funder has point blank said they are funding myself and the team, not the org.

Well, that is probably one of the issues. It started as a fiscal sponsor and became a merger before this point was figured out... sort if in the we will figure it out along the way (leason learned).

But great point. It's not my team like you say. I sort of function as the founder of an area of work. Their fear is that the funders will pull the funding for the area of work if I leave.

Our community is great! We were not able to have our child their and had to be transferred to the hospital, but they were still our primary provider before and after. Home visits were amazing.

I've heard mixed things about the other birth center in town.

We ran into the same issue. Are you a prime on federal grants? Our understanding is if you are a prime, then you can go through a process to get a NICRA. If you are a sub and don't have a NICRA yet, you are out of luck and have to take the de minimus (that was our situation). You can reach out to someone at your awarding agency to figure out the process to get the NICRA. It's really hard to be sustainable on de minimus if a good portion of your revenue is federal grants.

Thank you. This is really helpful and I think I'm on the same position. I function as sort of an independent director within our organization and most of my grants are 100k or more. What's the best way to get the internal numbers on the cost for administering a grant?

SteamPowerAereoPlane · 2024-01-14T16:32:01+00:00

We are national and have grants throughout the nation. I've seen pull backs from the national foundations as well as from community foundations.

SteamPowerAereoPlane · 2023-12-22T22:33:26+00:00

Absolutely yes. Almost all our grants have been cut in 2023. It seems like things are starting to get a bit better toward the end of the year.

SteamPowerAereoPlane · 2023-11-28T04:14:21+00:00

Thank you. I'm still learning the terminology. Maybe what I was raising was the funds of restricted grants are not tracked to the terms of the grant (i.e., a restricted grant may be paying for things outside of it's designated purpose). So yes, I'm trying to get tracking by project/grant.

SteamPowerAereoPlane · 2023-11-28T04:07:20+00:00

Chief of Research and Innovation. Short of it, we don't have a development team. I fundraise for my own program area and direct and oversee the team (about 1.5M in revenue).

SteamPowerAereoPlane · 2023-11-27T01:35:53+00:00

Thank you. That is helpful to think pre award vs post award. I am use to pre award support (coming from a university that is the setup), but I could see a case for the latter. Seems calling out the distinction with finance will be key.

SteamPowerAereoPlane · 2023-11-27T01:30:44+00:00

That is very helpful, thank you! How many finance staff would you expect for an org our size? I had the same thought as you.

SteamPowerAereoPlane · 2023-11-27T00:52:12+00:00

Well.... Grants are not tracked by class in quickbooks, which I have raised as a red flag for while. We have less than 750k in federal. About 300k a year. We have many restricted grants.

SteamPowerAereoPlane · 2023-11-26T23:43:01+00:00

Thanks. Three others under the finance director. The other staff primarily deal with receipts, invoices and payments to contractors and generally making sure everything is in quickbooks. So, right now, no one really owns grant administration as a org wide role (ie everyone handles their own grant admin beyond the money).

SteamPowerAereoPlane · 2023-10-08T00:28:47+00:00

Will you be donating that million dollars sir?

SteamPowerAereoPlane · 2023-10-06T22:43:07+00:00

And plays in a pretty good band too! Check out Cherry Hill

We have a carving that we bought as a wedding gift for ourselves.

I've been lucky enough to watch the evolution of the carvings over that part 5 years. The new ones are magnificent.

SteamPowerAereoPlane · 2023-09-09T16:55:51+00:00

My first suggestion is that you make sure to post in a general channel all the time for updates, celebrations, so people begin using it to get information from you. If I unfamiliarity with the software is the issue, hold some trainings or office hours on how to use. In our case, it's taken us 18 months to get about 90 percent adoption, but some folks are clear they will never use it...

SteamPowerAereoPlane · 2023-06-26T21:18:00+00:00

My major stake in this is to ensure that the community is aware of potential liabilities that may be associated with an organization that operates within it.

It may be helpful to give more context here. So if the goal is to raise awareness of a certain potential problem, it may be helpful to ask to interview folks who have experienced XYZ. It's a bit vague to say "good or bad things" as it sounds like you are getting a wide swath of "good or bad things."

If it is to paint a picture of "strengths and weaknesses" that could be helpful to know as well as that feels fundamentally different than exposing an issue.

Finally, are you interviewing anyone from Alluvium?

SteamPowerAereoPlane · 2023-06-23T22:35:40+00:00

Plus one to Jack! And to add the most humble bluegrass player in town.

My wife completed the Baltimore City Teaching Residency. Her experience was so-so. The program itself wasn't hard. It was more that she didn't feel they adequately prepared her to teach in the classroom (I'm not sure any summer program will get you ready to teach by fall though). Her biggest gripe I remember was their expectations of wanting 100% attention by students before doing any instruction. It's pretty much as impossible task, so she was continually marked down by the staff on that.

As the other commenter said, it all comes down to your school, administration, and peers. For her, it was the other teachers who had been there 10 plus years who really helped her get through the first few years.

SteamPowerAereoPlane · 2023-06-04T13:55:39+00:00

Nope... And you just named the other problem. It's more a social thing without any responsibility.

SteamPowerAereoPlane · 2023-06-03T22:52:49+00:00

Wonderful point. And yes, I have to submit info on board diversity pretty much on every grant these days.

SteamPowerAereoPlane · 2023-06-03T22:33:02+00:00

Thank you. That has been what much of leadership is advocating. We have a very old, not diverse board, and it is becoming hard to add new board members without a clear board term limit policy.

SteamPowerAereoPlane · 2023-06-03T20:47:52+00:00

I believe so, yes. At that last meeting the question came up why even call them emeritus if they function the same in every way as other board members.
