Mission: 

GMCW sings to inspire equality and inclusion with musical performances and education promoting justice and dignity for all.

Programs: 

Under the direction of Dr. Thea Kano, The Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, DC (GMCW) is a nationally and internationally recognized organization which inspires equality, justice, and inclusion through the performing arts. Our organization is comprised of our 300-member flagship chorus, the GenOUT Chorus for LGBTQ+ and allied youth ages 13-18, the chamber ensemble Rock Creek Singers, the a cappella group Potomac Fever, the gospel/inspirational ensemble Seasons of Love, and the dance troupe 17th Street Dance.

Since 1981, the GMCW has presented thoughtful, sophisticated, entertaining, and enlightening concerts to hundreds of thousands of people in the nation’s capital, around the United States, and at international venues. Our season is anchored by three major shows presented at the historic Lincoln Theatre in Washington, DC. Typical seasons also include a Cabaret, a classically programmed concert, and a fully staged musical. In addition, the main chorus and our small ensembles perform an ever-increasing number of outreach events throughout the season, totaling over 100 each season. 

GMCW is the voice of LGBTQ+ people in Washington, DC for such events as the Kennedy Center Honors (for which GMCW has performed twice), Presidential inaugural festivities (performing for Presidents Clinton and Obama), and historically significant ceremonies (including the interment services for Frank Kameny and Matthew Shepard and the celebration of the Supreme Court’s pro-marriage equality decision in United States v. Windsor). In addition to these high-profile events, GMCW and its small ensembles can be found performing weekly around the DC metro region at faith communities, businesses, and schools, promoting justice and equality for all through song.

Education Board Partners

Overview
Headquarters: 
Washington D.C., DC, USA
Website: 
edboards.org
Size: 
1-10 employees
Founded: 
2010
About Us
Areas of Focus: 
Education
Mission: 

Education Board Partners (formerly Charter Board Partners) is the only national nonprofit organization dedicated exclusively to strengthening nonprofit boards in education. Volunteer boards in education — the boards of public charter schools, nonprofit education organizations, and autonomous district schools — are a powerful force operating independent of politics to improve school quality, equity, and accountability. They bring valuable expertise and leadership experience to schools, and they make decisions in close proximity to students, staff, and communities. In short, boards make the decisions that make schools better for kids.

Programs: 

Our three core areas of work include:

  • We recruit board members for schools that need deeper skills, relevant experience, and more diversity. 
    Board work is people work. EBP engages deeply with boards around their goals, recruits talented and motivated people, and personally connects them with the boards that need their skills and experience. We focus particularly on recruiting and building diverse boards: More than half of American public school students are students of color (a number that increases each year), but 86% of nonprofit board members in the U.S. are white. Through this work, we aim to ensure that education-related boards better represent the students in our public schools.   
     
  • We provide tailored support for board members and executive directors to help them govern well.
    EBP provides customized coaching, adaptable tools and templates, and robust trainings that help boards govern effectively and equitably. We train boards to understand opportunity and achievement gaps in our public schools and make decisions that help close them. We help educate all board members about the broader education landscape and equip them to speak up in favor of equitable access to high-quality schools for all students and families.
     
  • We help decision-makers incentivize strong boards.
    Because effective governance results in stronger accountability and higher-quality schools, EBP partners with authorizers, support organizations, and funders to help them more accurately measure board effectiveness and insist on engaged, diverse boards. 
Why Work For Us?: 

At Education Board Partners, we care deeply about how and why we do the work. Our name reflects our core principles:

  • We are driven by the belief that every child deserves access to a high-quality education; we measure our success by whether schools are better, not whether boards are better. (We are educators first and foremost; everyone at EBP has spent time as a classroom teacher and/or working in schools.)

  • Volunteer boards in education — the boards of public charter schools, nonprofit education organizations, and autonomously-governed district schools — are a powerful force, operating independent of politics, to improve school quality, equity, and accountability. They bring valuable expertise and leadership experience and make decisions in close proximity to students, staff, and communities.

  • We partner with individuals and organizations across the country and at every level of the ecosystem — boards, school leaders, funders, policymakers, authorizers, education support organizations — who are working to improve outcomes for students.

Independently governed boards put in place the context for success, shield schools from the ever-changing forces of politics, and insist on results. Boards also provide charter schools with volunteer board members who bring valuable skills, experience, perspective, expertise, and resources that public schools often have a hard time accessing. And serving on the board of a public school gives those individuals the opportunity to play a meaningful role in their communities, contribute to improving public education, and make a real difference in the lives of children.

Montana Legal Services Association

Overview
Headquarters:

Annual Budget :

Size: 
11-50 employees
Founded: 
1966
About Us
Areas of Focus: 
Legal Services / Justice System
Civil Rights / Social Justice
Mission: 

For over fifty years, the Montana Legal Services Association has helped ensure fairness for all in Montana’s justice system by providing civil, non-criminal legal services to low income Montanans living in all 56 Montana counties and on all Tribal Reservations.

Programs: 

As a private, non-profit law firm, MLSA provides non-criminal legal information, advice, and representation to thousands of Montanans each year. MLSA’s services help fight scams on seniors, assist veterans who have been denied their earned benefits, help people escape abusive relationships, and represent families living in unsafe housing conditions.

“Equal Justice for All” is our shared ideal. Every year, millions walk under these words, engraved into the United States Supreme Court building. Every day, millions of schoolchildren pledge their allegiance to a republic “with liberty and justice for all.” And on countless TV shows, you hear the words, “If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.”

Unfortunately, there is no right to an attorney for people facing non-criminal legal problems. For many people, especially those with limited incomes, the high cost of legal assistance can prevent them from obtaining even the most basic access to our court systems.

That’s why MLSA works to provide civil legal aid to low income individuals living throughout Montana – to ensure that equal justice for all is a reality for all Montanans, and not just for those who can afford it.

Awards & Accolades: 
MLSA's Medical-Legal Partnership program received a certificate of recognition for their collaborative effort to improve community health at the Montana Healthy Communities Conference.
MLSA received the Mary Byron Celebrating Solutions Award in recognition of MLSA’s work to provide civil legal assistance to survivors of domestic violence and break the cycle of violence.
MLSA received a Community Impact Award at the Montana Housing Partnership Conference recognizing the impact of the Keep My Montana Home program on saving homes from foreclosure in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis.
MLSA received the Montana Board of Crime Control’s Innovative Community Improvement Award for using technology to increase access to justice in rural Montana.
Why Work For Us?: 
  • Live your values and put your law degree to work by representing people who deserve a voice in our legal system.
  • Great benefits, generous leave, and competitive pay.
  • Access to free CLE seminars and opportunities to attend national conferences and trainings.
  • The chance to hone your litigation skills in a friendly and supportive work environment.
