Keep Coyote Creek Beautiful has the vision of a vibrant Coyote Creek, located in San Jose. We work with many partners to accomplish this by both mobilizing community resources and participation, and by engaging community members to become the creek’s advocates and caretakers.

Our nonprofit is now six-years-old, and we are in need of a board member who wants to help raise money for us. The primary focus would be on donor engagement and development, but can include grant writing. Currently, we have about 4 grants amounting to about $200,000. We can grow this with more program grants and large and recurring gifts.

Now would be a good time to join since we just created a 5-year strategic plan. Your knowledge and input would be very beneficial to our organization so that we plan our growth in a structured manner giving careful consideration to the funding sources that will match our organizational growth direction.

We are looking for a Google Ads expert who can help us get going with this. Google offers $10,000 in free advertising a month, and we are definitely not taking advantage of that generosity. A Google Ads expert for us needs to understand the unique nuances that Google has established for nonprofits, which includes constraints on URLs, keywords, and other factors.

We want to use this tool to drive more people to our events, which help to broaden their knowledge of Coyote Creek while engaging in fun and educational outdoor activities, such as our Kelley Park Sunset Walks during the summer months, bike rides and backpacking trips, or the monthly BioBlitz events where people learn to slow down and see the little things that live in and around our creeks. Additionally, as we grow, we'll need to advertise for staff and additional resources.

Forest Fire Risk Prevention Derivatives in Northern California
Bobby Fishkin, lead author

In 2018, Sacramento was named the ""the Most Polluted City on Earth"" due to ""smoke from Camp Fire,"" This proposal aims to prevent that from happening again through adopting a systemic approach and collaborating with stakeholders to actively prevent future such events. The insurance industry, along with institutional chief risk officers, have begun to recognize the importance of moving from ""loss compensation to loss prevention.""

CrowdDoing and Project Heather propose launching a prevention derivative with two new stakeholders: (a) contingent payers who pay in proportion to the reduction in risk, and (b) impact investors who finance social innovations in which their return is similarly proportional to the reduction in risk. It will build on existing precedents for contingent contracts involving social- innovation-based risk prevention.

Forest Fire Prevention Derivatives, CrowdDoing, Volunteer Insurance Underwriter
A spectrum of forest fire risk prevention approaches are available: from creative new social innovations to well-established interventions.The forest fire risk prevention derivative would first survey existing forest fire prevention interventions in Greater Sacramento with an eye towards which ones might be suitable to support and expand. It would then review global social innovations that might be relevant to Northern California to determine which to replicate. Entities involved in risk management and risk securitisation, from insurers to reinsurers to retrocessionaires, ought to welcome the chance to share liability proportionally through a commons of prevention innovations. The prevention derivative can expand as more institutions and individuals join as contingent payers and impact investors in order prevent a larger portion of collective risk. Payments by private and public institutions to support prevention derivatives can be in-kind, through services, and/or financial.
