It was a pleasure connecting with Lisa from Nature Connection Network last month. I came away energized and especially inspired by how they are putting their Premises + Principles into action. Asking “What is the basis of our transformation and why?” is such a powerful framing. It’s a beautiful reflection of their mission to support the healthy growth of nature connection organizations and their leaders in building resilient, regenerative, and just communities. We are so glad to have NCN as a project partner of the Hive!

As always, you’re welcome to schedule a call with me – whether you have questions, want to check in, or just want to say hi. If a scheduling tool is your jam, you can use this link to book a time, or feel free to email me directly at katie@climatejusticehive.org with a day/time that works for you.

A quick reminder: one of our key roles as your fiscal host is to make sure you have the financial reports and documentation you need for compliance and reporting. Alongside our shared Google folders for each project to support this, the Hive is building a transparency page on our website, going live this summer. It’ll include our 2024 Form 990 (with more years to follow), our Candid/Guidestar badge, governance info, and more.

Also, keep an eye out for your project profiles to soon be live on the Bee’s Nest webpage! We’re excited to showcase all the important and creative work you’re offering.

With appreciation,
Katie

P.S. Wishing you a bright and grounded summer solstice. May the light fuel your vision and your rest.
