This month's missive features insights about leading through uncertainty, explores polycrises, rest, and renewal. We also pass the mic to Cultural Survival and share a collection of media coverage highlighting impacts of the Rescissions Act and CPB's closure to community media.

Our August newsletter dives into the impact of CPB's closing, the importance of the mundane, how psychographic data helps raise money, and insights into finding your "why." Read it here: nfcb.org/newsletter/ Shout out the amazing team at Raven Radio - KCAW, Sitka! #defundednotdefeated
