True, lasting change doesn’t come from the top down—it starts from the ground up, driven by the people who know their neighborhoods best.

If you are on the ground building bonds, elevating resident voices, and working to improve community health and well-being, this is your moment. St. David’s Foundation just launched their new open call: Catalyzing Community-Led Change, and it is designed specifically to back your vision.

Here is what you need to know:

The Geography: Must operate in Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis, or Williamson county.

Eligibility Essentials: 501(c)(3) organizations (or those utilizing a fiscal sponsor), public/government entities, or religious organizations with an annual operating budget of at least $150,000 and a track record of resident organizing. (Note: Current St. David's Foundation grantees are eligible to apply!)

In this episode of The Nonprofit Mastermind Podcast, host Brooke Richie-Babbage speaks with Scott Brighton, CEO of Bonterra, about how AI and data can help nonprofits, especially small teams, grow their impact. They discuss how these tools can simplify decision-making and scale an organization's efforts more effectively, even with limited resources.

The episode explains that AI doesn't have to be intimidating, and tools once exclusive to large organizations are now accessible to all. Listeners will learn how to use data to predict which donors are likely to stop giving and how to apply a five-step process to boost donor engagement. The goal is to help nonprofits work smarter, not harder, by leveraging technology to maximize their impact.
