Youth Climate Activation Challenge : San Francisco

San Francisco is one of 300 global cities participating in Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Youth Climate Action Fund (YCAF). The program provides resources for young people ages 15–24 to design and carry out climate solutions in their communities. Microgrants range from $1,000–$5,000. Funds are issued through a fiscal sponsor organization such as a school, nonprofit, community group, or youth-serving organization. 

If you need a fiscal sponsor, or more information,  contact the folks at ENV-Education@sfgov.org.

Worth a Listen : "Enough vs. More - Financial Freedom for Independent Artists"

Every once in a while, I come across someone who speaks the exact same words that I have said once, twice, or ad nauseam... So of course, I feel the need to share and say, "See?! THIS is what I've been talking about for the past almost twenty years or more." 

Dan Scott is a lawyer with a passion for helping artists create financial freedom that allows us to dedicate our lives to our creative pursuits. It's for every true artist who just wants to be able to create. We need money to live, and even more money to create.  It's about living a life fulfilling our purpose, within our means - and so much more. 

I listened to this and found it worth a share, so here it is:
