1. As with the airline industry—”put your own mask on first!” Meaning, make sure we are tending to our own selves and programs because we can best help the agency when our department is at its best and strongest. 2. “Don’t forget about the little things,” like the building of a nonprofit registry or getting this e-mag out consistently. The little things not only matter, but sometimes reflect how we do everything else. 3. “Use your team!” There is so much to do around this nonprofit advocacy work. Big impact can only be made by using the team to its fullest.
D-ONE secured $1,264,770 ARPA for various programs for its own department. D-ONE lent a hand in coordinating approximately $290k to help the Denver Police Department address violent crime in identified hot spots across the city. $500K went to the Nonprofit Vaccine Impact Project.
