Failfest

FailFest is a storytelling event for nonprofits to celebrate their epic fails. Nonprofits are sometimes held to higher standards than for-profit organizations. But how do we learn to soar without falling down at least a few times?! This event allows area nonprofit leaders to share their stories of failure and how they turned it into success. This e... vent will feature a collection of recruited, trained and curated star failures. Come cheer on these brave souls! AS OF 2020: To everything there is a season, as they say, and we (your fearless planners) have made the decision to press pause on Failfest this year. You heard us right, were pausing a successful and celebrated platform for speaking into risk, why in the world would we do that? Simply put because it feels right. And thats ok. Youve trusted us with your stories for the last five years, youve allowed us to curate a safe space to share really personal and important details from your lives, and we are so incredibly grateful. And now were asking for you to trust us. Too often in our sector, we fall into the trap of continuing to do things because theyve always been done, and we are modeling permission to pause in 2020. We encourage you to make this the year that you take a breath, ask questions about the work youre doing, and pivot as needed. The four of us will regroup in the fall to decide if its time to hit play or not in 2021, and well be in touch either way. We thank you, we appreciate you, and we cant wait to hear what 2020 brings for each and every one of you. Dont be strangers, drop us a note!Read More
