A Letter from our Founder

Dear Friends,

Plywood People is a nonprofit in Atlanta supporting a global community of Social Impact Leaders.

At the core responsibility of every nonprofit is impact. This is why we report to you how we are doing. We want you to know that our work and your investment are making a difference.

This year we are taking it further by engaging in a two year research project measuring our impact internally (through quantitative and qualitative data) to understand how we can teach even better principles and externally to compete with the training of Social Impact Leaders globally. This is a landmark project that will position us for continued global impact. This research is the start to our strategic planning process and capacity building season. When you give to Plywood, you give to hundreds of organizations, and we are on a path to serve thousands more. In the pages ahead, you will see what we do everyday, how we do it and how you can contribute more than ever, so we can grow our impact even greater in the years ahead.

Thank you for investing in our team and our community.

Jeff Shinabarger
