LISC Twin Cities

"The unrestricted funding that LISC provides to our community partners is undeniably crucial for advancing their missions. But investing time and resources in organizational capacity building is equally important. Striking the right balance ensures that our partners have not only the financial resources but also the tools and support they need to achieve their goals."

Power to the Changemakers: LISC’s Tatia Ash on Capacity Building with Respect | Local Initiatives Support Corporation As capacity builders, we hope to help strengthen grassroots organizations so they can effectively—and independently—drive progress in their communities. To do that, argues LISC senior program officer Tatia Ash, we must not only guide but also listen deeply, show respect, and share power.

Please join us for the final “Bricks without Mortar” conversation of 2024, where we will be joined by friends from 825 Arts (Victoria Theater) for an AMA/Ask Me Anything.

Dantes Ha, Board Chair (he/him/his) and Sarah Snapp, Treasurer (she/her/hers) will join us to talk about the recently re-opened historic theater, the long road to re-opening, and the work ahead of them.

LISC TC staff will also share some of what’s in the works for 2025, as we map out the road for next steps.
