Cybersecurity for Nonprofits: Everything You Need to Know with

Elliot Turrini '87

Co-founder, Practical Cyber

Former Federal Cybercrime Prosecutor

Virtually all nonprofits are vulnerable to the theft of information and service disruptions but few have the IT protocols and staff needed for protection. Cyber insurance at a fair price can be helpful though few know how to negotiate and buy cyber insurance customized for their risk. 


Elliot Turrini will help demystify the cybersecurity landscape and explain how you can mitigate the risk of a cyber attack for your organization.

Your Help is Needed!


Summer internships can be crucial in launching a student on a social impact career path.


Many Yale students are unable to participate in unfunded public sector or social impact summer internships without our financial assistance.


These students wish to work in organizations that are tackling challenges such as refugee and immigrant services, access to healthcare, education equity, public housing, and social justice.


Right now, applications are being read and fellowships will be awarded soon, but...


Today, we can only award FIVE of the SIX summer

fellowships requested!


Can you help?


Gifts or pledges totaling $6,600 are needed by March 22.


Your gift of any size truly makes a difference.

NONPROFIT SPOTLIGHT

The spirit of Louis Armstrong was strong at the Yale Club in NYC on March 27th for YANA’s monthly meeting as Regina Bain '98, '01 DRAM, Executive Director of the Louis Armstrong House Museum detailed the legendary jazz musician’s legacy, both as a musician and civil rights activist. The “Ambassador of Joy,” whose music has often been described as “the sound of freedom,” received his first musical training in a New Orleans juvenile detention center, which is why LAHM advocates for musical education everywhere, including prisons. 


The challenges of leading an arts organization in the summer of 2020 were considerable. Bain found community and support in Culture @ 3, where she led the antiracism working group and now serves as its co-chair. Looking to the future, the LAHM hopes to reach those who may not be interested in Armstrong, but care about social and housing justice and then become curious “about this thing called jazz.” For more on the ambitious, inspiring, and wide-ranging work of LAHM, see the website. Better yet, take a tour!
