Season’s greetings, friends! ❄️☕️

Are you still there? Or are you already in holiday hibernation mode? Either way, we hope you enjoy our final newsletter of 2023. Cheers to another fun, fulfilling year.

This month, we reflect on big changes in 2023, reveal our words of the year, and look into our crystal ball for topics and trends of 2024. 🔮

Happy November! 🍂🦃

This month, we’re wondering if anyone has a direct line to Taylor Swift so she can help us with some narrative change work, feeling grateful for the little things, and introducing a new client to the I2I multiverse. Thank you for also being a part of it.

HelloOo there! 👻

In this edition, we unpack (literally and figuratively) from October’s conferences, celebrate birthdays, and announce the launch of a new partnership with the Colorado Health Foundation.

Happy fall y’all! Call us basic, but we’re ready for the transition to sweater weather, pumpkin spice, and spooky movies. 🍂

In this edition, we remix HR policies to align with our values, snap a selfie from our team retreat, and invite you to our annual fundraiser!

In this issue, we celebrate one year since we launched our monthly newsletter. Thank you to all of our loyal readers who indulge us in sharing what’s on our mind, in our hearts, and up our sleeves each month. It means the world to us!

Hopefully you’re reading this at the pool, on a hammock, or at least in-between fun summer activities.🌊☀️

This month, we contemplate power, relive summer memories, and shout out one of our favorite clients, The Audacious Project! (PS. all our clients are our favorite 😉 )

This month, we boogie in the intersection of evaluation & communications, wish a happy solar return to I2I team members, and spotlight our innovative work with The California Endowment.

At the one-year relaunch anniversary, I2I still has an unwavering belief that when women trust their intuition, embrace their strengths, lead with transparency and equity, and show up authentically in pursuit of their dreams, we can rewrite damaging + smothering cultural and gender narratives.

Recently, many of our foundation clients have adopted a renewed emphasis on the sustainability of their grantmaking, and we are HERE FOR IT. But measuring sustainability is a tough nut to crack. Here’s how we are thinking about it.
