Dear YNPN member,
The San Diego Foundation is pleased to announce a new resource under development for our communities. BetterGiving is a powerful online tool to inform, empower and enrich charitable giving in the region--benefiting donors, nonprofits and the community at large. The underlying database provides access to information about local nonprofits, including financial, governance and programmatic details.
Powered by GuideStar, and supported by foundation staff, data is assembled into information and, over time, matures into a deep knowledge base of nonprofit organizations, providing essential services for the Greater San Diego region. For more information, please visit http://bettergivingsd.guidestar.org.
Benefits for Nonprofits
· Simplifies application process to local funders and saves nonprofits time in completing applications
· Connects donors with nonprofits
· Creates awareness of your organization with potential donors
· Tells your story at all levels: management, program, and finances
· Advances the nonprofit community in San Diego by strengthening individual organizations and providing a resources to analyze need
· Provides a self-assessment tool to drive internal improvements
To get started: Visit the BetterGiving website at http://bettergivingsd.guidestar.org and click on “Request a portrait for your organization.”
We will email your login and password along with other documents prior to the training. You will need to complete the pre-portrait before the date of your training. Directions on receiving a copy of the pre-portrait are available at http://bettergivingsd.guidestar.org.
*We are excited to work with your organization on this initiative. If you are not the most appropriate person to receive this email, please forward it to that staff member, such as the grant writer or the individual who updates your GuideStar profile.
If you have questions, please contact Lori Finch at 619-235-2300 or email bettergiving@sdfoundation.org
Best wishes,
The BetterGiving Team

Announcement: Breaking the Ice: Expanding Your Network at Sea Rocket Bistro!
Breaking the Ice: Expanding Your Network at Sea Rocket Bistro!
About the program...
Networking events for some are intimidating; some even describe them as nerve-wracking or fearful. What would a networking event be like if you had the confidence to walk up to any person or group in the room?
Join YNPN San Diego for our November workshop, Breaking the Ice: Expanding Your Network as we prepare for the holiday networking season and the New Year. We will discuss, practice and play out techniques for joining existing conversations, getting new ones started and getting what you want or need from every conversation. This will be an active and fun workshop with a diverse group of nonprofit professionals - you’ll be applying and sharpening your networking skills as we practice them! Guest speaker is Linda Spuck from Union Bank and our facilitator is Brian Daugherty from University of San Diego - this is certainly a pair you will NOT want to miss!
Support YNPN San Diego Programs...
All of YNPN San Diego’s programs are free to its members, but there is a cost to coordinate these events, bring high-quality programs to the membership, and serve as a reliable and high-quality organization. Your donations help to ensure that YNPN San Diego can continue to meet these demands. Please consider making a donation online, through our Facebook Cause or at the event. Individuals who donate at the workshop, as well as one week prior and after the event, will be eligible for a gift from our generous in-kind supporters. The recommended donation for this event is $25.
About Sea Rocket Bistro
Sea Rocket Bistro is a farm-to-table restaurant that focuses on local foods in order to provide a more physical connection between their guests and the food they eat. Because much of the food available to us in San Diego is from the ocean, they focus on seafood. One local fisherman calls this "from boat to throat." Whatever you call it, they take the freshest ingredients that are available to us within a day's drive or so.
