Transformational Campaigns Lunch and Learn
featuring Cori Stell, Development Director at ACLU of Northern California'
Thursday June 17, 2021 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM
To help inform our thinking about an OFB Network campaign, OFB Community Philanthropy Director C. Nathan Harris will interview and facilitate Q&A with his former supervisor (and current friend), Cori Stell. Cori will share her experience with collaborative, network-wide campaigns at ACLU from an affiliate perspective working at ACLU of Northern California.
Cori led the ACLU of Northern California's participation in Leading Freedom Forward (LFF) – a nationwide ACLU campaign circa 2005-2010. LFF transformed how state-based ACLU affiliates nationwide partnered with ACLU National in collaborative, coordinated resource and relationship development. In doing so, the campaign transformed the ACLU network's programmatic coordination and impact.
Join OFB and RFB folx for some pre-prepared Q&A (interview style) conversation and then open time for participants to ask Cori questions.

NETWORK-WIDE/REGIONAL* INITIATIVES
* “Regional” initiatives impact more than one RFB but not the entire OFB Network
Oregon Governor’s State Employees Food (and Fund) Drive
External campaign with Network-wide impact
February 1 - 28, 2021
Ford Motor Company Peanut Butter Drive
OFB managed campaign with Network-wide impact
June 2021
Child hunger has been a major philanthropic priority of the Ford Motor Company Fund. Starting in 2014, the Northwest Region of Ford Motor Company has encouraged Ford dealerships throughout the OFB Network to organize peanut butter drives for their local food assistance organizations. Some dealerships have participated and others have not had the interest and/or capacity.
After having to cancel the Peanut Butter Drive in 2020 due to COVID-19, the drive is returning this year and is scheduled for June. The Ford Motor Company Fund plans to support this effort with a public relations and digital media campaign.
Ford Motor Company Fund shared this list of suggested “food bank partners” with local dealerships. Note that dealerships are recommended, but not required, to partner with the listed OFB Network organizations.
