Blue Fox CEO Chantal Sheehan named as keynote speaker for Nonprofit Hub's Cause Camp 2020
Chantal Sheehan, Founder and CEO of Blue Fox was recently named as a keynote speaker for Nonprofit Hub’s Cause Camp 2020. Coined as a highly immersive boutique conference, Cause Camp was selected by Forbes as a must-attend conference for nonprofit professionals. The 2020 series will take place April 20th and 21st at the Nebraska Innovation Center in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Dubbed by her clients as a nonprofit numbers guru, Sheehan will speak on how to drive organizational sustainability though financial stewardship. Her presentation, Count Less - Measure More, focuses on how nonprofits can best leverage their hard-earned funds.
She explains, “Nonprofit leaders spend 90% of their time chasing funding, and 10% of their time analyzing how they leverage those hard-fought dollars - if that! Financial stability and sustainability depend on your ability to disrupt that dynamic. What you do after the money comes in is the true secret sauce in sustainability.”

‘Increasing Instructional Impact’ Grant to Benefit Brevard Teachers
The Brevard Schools Foundation is one of seven local education foundations in the state to receive grant funds from the Consortium of Florida Education Foundations (CFEF) this school year to support school district efforts to identify and scale effective teaching practices.
“Teaching quality and effective teaching practices are consistently identified as the most important school-based factors in increasing student achievement,” said Mary Chance, president of the CFEF. “Local education foundations already support and recognize teachers in so many ways. Our goal with this grant is to encourage them to work in partnership with their school districts to focus on discovering and developing the teaching practices that can have the greatest impact on student learning.”
“By focusing on support for new teachers, we hope to create a pipeline to mastery that will ultimately benefit the students in our community,” said Janice Kershaw, President/CEO, Brevard Schools Foundation.
Each Increasing Instructional Impact grant recipient will receive $5,000 in support for their local initiative, funded by CFEF partners Wells Fargo and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
