A profound reflection point in philanthropy is: Can one person make a difference? As a fundraising trainer/consultant I’ve had the privilege and pleasure of working closely with many such unsung heroes including an extraordinary leader in San Antonio named Jasmin Dean who has put an exclamation point on “absolutely.” Step-by-step I’ve watched her methodically launch a visionary non-profit called Celebrate Dyslexia that commits to a strength-based approach to an issue with negative stigma that afflicts one out of every five of us. Inspired by her oldest son, she has expanded access to and become an incubator for best practices in education through the integration of structured literacy, social emotional support systems, technological innovations, and critical services designed to support the dyslexic learner and their entire family. By forging strategic partnerships with school districts, museums, theater groups plus local, state and national thought leaders, this work is immensely expanding the dyslexic community’s body of knowledge and saturating communities with well trained teachers and students who will go on to become leaders. Huge progress has been made so that other families with children with dyslexia will be better positioned to handle the multitude of challenges and opportunities they must face. Jasmin’s example reminds us how powerful one person with an uplifting vision and willingness to work hard and willingness to work smart can be in this world. Join our learning community as we explore the lessons she has learned as well as opportunities for improvement. No matter where your non-profit is in its journey you will benefit from this inspiring and timely discussion.
