Great Futures Start Here

During this three month period, we have seen a lot of progress in the Community Assistance Program (CAP). We are the only organization in the country that provides education for the leaders of nonprofit organizations. The results we have achieved through training and mentoring are evident. Hearts of Gold is part of building a more humane society with more opportunities for our children, teenagers and families to have a better future.

Currently, our partners in CAP have learned many lessons which have benefited in their day to day operations. In this period, Nova, El Arenal, Kallpa Warmi, Osso, Cetap Lucy, Mírame and Soup Kitchen have achieved a good score in the six areas of their CAP evaluations (Programs, Marketing and Communication, Volunteer Management, Fundraising, Donor Management, Transparency).

With NOVA, we have completed mentoring hours to help them create a fundraising campaign and apply what they learned in previous workshops. The campaign is ready and will be launched in the next few days. Please stay tuned.

With the Soup Kitchen project, we have helped them restructure their program so they are able to offer nutritious meals and reduce costs. This means that they will have be able to offer their services for a longer period of time.

Cetap Lucy has been able to start with a new sexual abuse prevention project. They have also been more active in event fundraising and creating alliances.

El Arenal Foundation is still working on funding their nutritional program for the year. They have been able to build a better staff environment and are working on improving their volunteer management.

The Kallpa Warmi collective received mentoring hours to help them manage new resources and new donors. They also have a new board of directors, which it allows them to organize themselves in a better way.

Finally, we have made an improvement in our Community Assistance Program evaluation system. The new template consists of quantitative and qualitative measurements for each learning achievement. Scores will be uploaded to our website with graphic representations, so our partners can see which level they are on. We hope that this will motivate organizations to put more effort into learning and achieving the best score. At the end of the training year, an award will be given to the organization with the highest score.

Thanks to each of you for building a better world for everybody. Thank you for having a heart of gold! Together, we are the change!

We feel that education is the best tool for building a more equitable and supportive society, as well as being the strongest weapon to change the world.

We are happy to be the only and pioneer organization in the community assistance program in order to educate leaders of nonprofit organizations on sustainability and sustainability issues. All the great results achieved so far are thanks to your contribution and trust.

During this period with our Community Assistance Program, many goals have been achieved, we have opened the third year of the 100% practical community assistance program, before starting the practical part we evaluated our partner organizations in  all areas to see if there is balance and good management in the concepts already learned, based on those results we are sure that not only should the mind be educated but we must also educate the heart, this is why this period with our partners 2019: Nova, El Arenal, Kallpa Warmi, Osso, Cetap Lucy and Soup kitchen, we have provided soul education workshops, giving a training in Tapping and alternative therapies so that they learn new techniques starting with taking care of the personal and emotional side of each staff member so that they can then work collectively to serve and educate the beneficiaries of organizations.

This year we have been able to  work with LIBRE foundation from Europe, they have worked with us for 3 consecutive years educating community leaders, offering a full week conference on Leadership and Communication. This year we have been able to host 20 new organizations for training, this workshop was quite practical and lasted for 40 hours.
