The world doesn’t need another new non-profit | Kirk Bowman | TEDxPeachtree

[@ruthdavis4727]

This is spot on; local leaders, not outsiders, MUST be the main directors of development in their communities.

[@sandracrocker6143]

Identify, Invest, inspire!

[@hannahtodd5087]

Rise Up is redefining the charity model. Love it! I can't wait to see the full documentaries!

Excellent TED talk, Kirk !! And very interesting reflection. "We make a living by what we get but we make a life by what we give." Winston Churchill

[@kolebowman8961]

I can't wait to watch all of the documentaries!

[@WestleyRulez]

+Kole Bowman same here...

[@taylorp2890]

What an amazing talk and hopefully the beginning of a fruitful conversation about the development and successes of non-profits.

[@lizsoos]

A beautiful story and example of the potential local communities have within themselves

[@jonwilcox9427]

Excellent talk! We all should be able to agree on not wanting to waste our charity dollars. Looking forward to seeing the films!

[@mogcreators5001]

all the old organizations were once a startup

[@pennybun01]

This is an important and bold argument from an authority in international development. It's a blueprint for making the world a better place through local non-profit projects by applying rigorous investment metrics that value and sustain local innovation, local success, and the expertise of local leadership. Really compelling and inspiring examples of the practical wisdom of this approach.

[@hannahmusall9043]

Eye-opening perspective! Everyone should see this!

[@BarryTheBoss123]

This is really amazing and inspiring. I can't wait for the documentaries. I feel so honored to know you.

[@mrf1092]

A very insightful talk! I like the emphasis you place on supporting local leaders and organizations - definitely an idea that should be more widespread!

[@dylanalvarez6268]

i'm totally impressed. your speech is gold. It's really the good example to people who work as the same career as you. excited for the documentaries

[@christinenguyen6650]

Such a thought provoking talk Kirk! I wish more organizations would attempt your practices!

[@anonymousaccount3641]

Amazing talk! Definitely gave me a new perspective to think about.

[@jameswilcox6471]

Extremely informative and really well done. you can tell that the charity Rise Up and Care has a model that works! Good luck!!!!

[@keyawondwossen5713]

Super informative. Thank you for all the work you do!

[@hoodprogram7879]

Anyone who attempts to do any work in another country without thoroughly consulting a dominant in the community is setting your self up for failure. That is a big problem with American's, thinking that what they have to offer is 'needed' in a community. It's called research and development and with out this every small business will fail as well. So, would say that the world doesn’t need another new small business? Of course not. Therefore what he is saying here is a great idea if you can't get past your ego and humbly ask for help, insight and guidance on a local level. This also includes not being the 'leader' and having to support and praise those who know exactly what said community really needs and run all ideas by them first to see if what you think is necessary actually is...

[@calmu6694]

This is an amazing idea, invest in the local leaders. Giving food aid isn't going to get people far. Investment in their future will also have a ripple effect uplifting others in the region. Being from Africa myself and in business in Europe I understand how charity is perceived and often fails to make a difference. We have corrupt governments and dead economies. Help us by fanning the flames of innovation and we can uplift those starving children by giving their parents Jobs. The investment needed is a fraction of the billions spent sending food or clothes etc for it to all be robbed by politicians

[@christina413]

Thank you for this enlightening TED Talk! Love the concept of Identifying, Investing, and Inspiring!

[@mogcreators5001]

Does it mean new ideas are nothing? if we want to change the world. Go with new ideas, not the old one. It's always possible to fund the existing, but bringing new is always a chance for someone who dreams something new

[@felicitysmoak3757]

He’s a really good professor, you can tell that he really cares about what he teaches

great talk and concept! excited for the documentaries

Non-Profit does not equal NGO. The capitalist model does not work on all issues.

[@panchicorex]

can you elaborate?

[@johannesstruik3468]

Could you expand on the difference

[@mikafizz1022]

Could you clarify?

[@LillieClaireLove]

I love this! Support the locals who are already doing amazing things! Documentaries looks amazing!

[@TheDonnians]

Katie Krantz - I compartinho with you the same thought . Happy birthday!!! Inverting the traditional model of non profit charities is so powerful! Allowing the autonomy of creating positive change to be placed back into the hands of local leaders will surely lead to long-lasting and effective impacts for developing communities.

[@sarahkraft187]

Great talk, Bowman! I think this is a really smart strategy. I will definitely pass this along to my social work colleagues. :):):)

[@christymoore309]

Kirk, I couldn't agree with you more. if those working in international development could take a step back and care a little less about who gets the credit, I think 99.999% of the time, we'd find that the solution to whatever problem we want to solve already exists locally. there's so much talk in the development world about "buy in from local stakeholders" and "culturally appropriate programs." your inversion model shows just how backwards that thinking is and how much we still have to learn. thank you for sharing!

[@smartartification]

This is so awesome! I couldn’t agree more!

[@TheDonnians]

DOCUMENTÁRIO SENSACIONAL A três anos atrás chegou aqui na Miratus o Sr.Kirk Bowman, procurando informações detalhadas sobre o funcionamento de nossa instituição e as dificuldades aqui encontradas, foi uma verdadeira pesquisa. Saber da aceitação das atividades esportivas e educacionais oferecida aos jovens, eram prioridades, felizmente ele aprovou o que viu e sentiu aqui, o que me faz acreditar nisso foi a sua volta à Associação Miratus de Badminton, e ainda trazendo mais alunos universitários. O Sr. Kirk Bowman trouxe mais tarde o Sr. Jon Wilcox, para que presenciasse os resultados alcançados aqui, vi os homens se emocionarem, sorrirem, e se divertirem com nossas crianças, se encantaram não pelas conquistas das medalhas, mais sim, pela consequência do trabalho aqui realizado que geram os resultados. Meu amigo Kirk, a sua visita e pesquisa nas instituições, e seu comprometimento para mudar, fez a sua apresentação TEDx um sucesso, traduziu com fidelidade a nossa real história, sugerindo soluções. Criou um novo modelo de lidar com projetos sociais, e fundamentado tecnicamente, sou um privilegiado em ver o nascimento da Rise Up & care. Que mostra já no início a forma respeitosa de levar as informações à vocês, através de um documentário, que é a comprovação do carinho e respeito com todos, tenho certeza que farão parte dessa equipe, que vai levar esperanças. A Rise Up & care, junto com vocês vão cuidar das crianças e jovens pelo mundo. Venham nos visitar. Parabéns Kik Bowman!!!! Obrigado.

[@mattdejonge8510]

Great talk Dr. Bowman! Innovative thoughts that will hopefully catch on with more people and more organizations.

[@rachelgordon6309]

If the story of samba badminton doesn't convince people of the value of investing in local organizations and leaders, I don't know what will :) Great talk!

[@yiosifn]

Yiorgos - This is a really amazing and inspiring story and very well done

[@marieyolainetoms4916]

brilliant talk!

[@leilanitafili4365]

I guess what matters most is making a difference in the world, showing the world that you care even if it doesn't last :) Nothing in the world is perfect. Even big companies/NGOs that exist today are imperfect.

[@TheDonnians]

Eu tenho muito orgulho de conhecer esse professor, grande mestre, exime conhecedor das causas e soluções sociais. Parabéns!!!!

[@RamosComennings]

Estou totalmente impressionado. seu discurso é ouro. Você é realmente o bom exemplo para as pessoas que trabalham como a mesma carreira como você.

[@RamosComennings]

Muitas coisas bonitas não podem ser vistas ou tocadas, elas são sentidas dentro do coração. O que você fez por mim, é uma delas. E eu agradeço do fundo do meu coração. Obrigado Kirk por proporcionar este momento.

That samba-badminton training in Brazil is such a great and creative idea. I found the trailer to the film: just google search "miratus rise up". Awesome film trailer! Highly recommended.

As an example, it's the same concept as OS fragmentation with Linux. You spread out the resources too far, and don't focus the energy towards one resource, keeping it from proliferating as well as it could.

[@janeanpaewai8108]

fantastic realisation

[@josephali4705]

Focus on earth.stop thinking about space.

[@naderwater6380]

wow, I never thought about it like this. Rise Up & Care seems like they are trying to make a difference!

[@anniesmy747]

Great talk! Makes you think about your own life and the motivations for your actions. I feel like nowadays everyone's just rushing for the next big thing, idea, innovation -- which isn't a bad thing, but we need to stay focused on what those 'things' affect besides our own reputations.

[@msmintjuleps]

I agree, but how do you come up with funds to support an organization you are not a part of? How do you write for a grant or as for donations when you are not part of that organization or any for that matter? Please let me know I am all ears.

[@crstph]

it would be near impossible to write a grant for an organization you're not involved with anyway, considering all the information you need about budgeting and goals and their records; your options are either to donate directly, ask your friends/family/contacts for money and donate that directly, or contact the organization and volunteer your services, then ask them what they need you to do. most nonprofits won't turn down free, passionate volunteers, and once you volunteer for that org you can write actually effective grants that might even get funds (or what have you)
