them understand what steps to take to create equitable opportunities for the populations they serve. Without equity, economic stratification and social instability will continue to increase, and far too many systemically excluded will continue to be left behind. Many are marginalized economically, politically, and culturally without inclusion, facing bias and barriers when seeking essential opportunities for security and advancement. We aim to add to the capacity already created by your leadership by demonstrating how an equity lens and a community-tailored approach must be clearly understood, directly challenged, and fundamentally transformed to help all thrive.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-a6de236e6c183bbbd700292deacd2b52\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-a6de236e6c183bbbd700292deacd2b52{\nheight:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-a6de236e6c183bbbd700292deacd2b52 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_button '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-av_button-dce0df0da47e5d9ccd7948a2d6d92f96-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_hr  avia-builder-el-last '><a href='https:\/\/www.praxisllc.co\/?page_id=321'  class='avia-button av-av_button-dce0df0da47e5d9ccd7948a2d6d92f96 av-link-btn avia-icon_select-no avia-size-large avia-position-left avia-color-theme-color'   aria-label=\"Read More\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Read More<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_half-2a64de42b738552fe666ca889af77e28\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_half-2a64de42b738552fe666ca889af77e28{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_half-2a64de42b738552fe666ca889af77e28 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-10bfeb8542b82b323c3915bdf86f704d\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-10bfeb8542b82b323c3915bdf86f704d img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-10bfeb8542b82b323c3915bdf86f704d .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-10bfeb8542b82b323c3915bdf86f704d av-styling- avia_animated_image av-animated-when-visible-95 right-to-left avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-14  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-279 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-279 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/www.praxisllc.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/about-1.jpg\" alt='' title='about'  height=\"300\" width=\"500\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.praxisllc.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/about-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.praxisllc.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/about-1-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.praxisllc.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/about-1-450x270.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='service'  class='avia-section av-av_section-09803d59c70fef39cccaa1d7449b63ca main_color avia-section-default avia-no-shadow  avia-builder-el-15  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap sidebar_right'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-17'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-0366cc7376be6c9e82a3e9cc8987b64f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h1 style=\"text-align: center;

Her dedication in bringing the giving project&#8217;s social philanthropic model to Chinook highlights her innovation in bridging gaps in our community &#8211; by offering participants hands on experience in partnering with Colorado&#8217;s grassroots organizations that effect social change. Nora is a dedicated mentor &#8211; both compassionate and genuine in stewarding greater understanding around race, class, and diversity. I credit Nora for providing me a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be part of an extraordinary group dedicated to social change, as well as providing a strong foundation in grassroots fundraising and grant making.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"avia-testimonial-meta\"><div class=\"avia-testimonial-arrow-wrap\"><div class=\"avia-arrow\"><\/div><\/div><div class='avia-testimonial-meta-mini'  itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" ><strong  class='avia-testimonial-name'  itemprop=\"name\" >Mandy Jesser<\/strong><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class='avia-testimonial av-av_testimonial_single-0297934cd37de79f34e7da744211a7fd avia-testimonial-row-1 flex_column no_margin av_one_half'><div class='avia-testimonial_inner'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia-testimonial-content '><div class='avia-testimonial-markup-entry-content'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Nora taught me a lot about the beauty of selfless giving.

I have been impressed with Nora&#8217;s fortitude and ability to whether many changes and transitions. I have also been impressed with her ability to keep the Chinook Fund on a stable financial footing through many transitions.

We first met when I joined the 2015 fall Chinook giving cohort and from the beginning I liked her innovative style. She took 20 individuals from all different walks of life and inspired us to develop into champions of change. Nora was a guide through a eloquently articulated six month road of becoming a bonded team of philanthropist. I admire her ability to neutralize and navigate tough group issues. She communicates group goals powerfully and prolifically, creating space for all parties to be heard, respectfully negotiating common ground or understanding in most cases; ultimately building relationships all while supporting the team as we collectively drive towards the goal. I would highly recommend taking the opportunity to work with, employ, or work for Nora if you are ever afforded the opportunity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"avia-testimonial-meta\"><div class=\"avia-testimonial-arrow-wrap\"><div class=\"avia-arrow\"><\/div><\/div><div class='avia-testimonial-meta-mini'  itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" ><strong  class='avia-testimonial-name'  itemprop=\"name\" >LeRita Cavness<\/strong><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class='avia-testimonial av-av_testimonial_single-bc9d8c4fc7d088e8844cfd851b6fb7bc avia-testimonial-row-1 flex_column no_margin av_one_half'><div class='avia-testimonial_inner'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia-testimonial-content '><div class='avia-testimonial-markup-entry-content'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Nora has created and supported space for transformation in individuals, organizations, and community.
