Dear Friends of YANA:
It was 40 years ago when Steve Jobs asked that memorable question to lure John Sculley from Pepsi to Apple with the promise of changing the world.
Fast forward to today, we're now living in a virtual Golden Age of change-makers, all committed to making our world safer, healthier, and more just. YANA’s ongoing mission is to inspire and support these lives of impact.
Indeed, they need both inspiration and support.
Just as more than half of all business startups fail within the first 5 years, nonprofit startups are failing at a similar rate due to poor planning, unrealistic expectations, and failure to adapt. YANA's goal is to help turn vision into reality.
Through our fellowships, workshops, conferences, and mentoring programs, we help social impact leaders define their missions, craft their stories, access resources, and build their organizations.
On this Giving Tuesday, please consider how YANA may have directly or indirectly touched you -- perhaps you were inspired by a speaker or idea, empowered by an introduction, or uplifted by the kindness of someone in the YANA community.
So come with us and change the world! Your gift of any size will ensure that YANA's resources, programming, and career support will continue to be available free of charge to all future generations of change-makers.
Thank you for your belief in our work and mission, wishing you and your loved ones a joyous holiday season!
With gratitude,
