Case Studies
The League of Young Inventors
Based in Brooklyn, The League of Young Inventors (LYI) is a project-based STEAM curriculum for elementary-aged inventors with a mission to foster the growth of a new generation of innovators.
Work included:
Financial Planning
Fundraising Strategy
Partnerships Strategy
The League came to ClearHatch at a critical moment in their growth: they were transitioning their program from in-person offerings at their storefront and in-school residencies to creating scalable hand-off ready curriculum that teachers can implement both virtually and in classrooms.
This meant the League needed to align its revenue strategies and budget to its new delivery model. ClearHatch helped the League create a financial model and a three year budget to match its new model, and also helped develop a language bank for applying for grant proposals, assisted with grant applications, and identified potential strategic funding partners for their work.
Future Youth Records
Future Youth Records is a nonprofit record label dedicated to helping youth create and distribute music promoting social justice.
Work included:
Leadership Coaching
Program Design + Implementation
ClearHatch’s engagement with FYR began with creating a three year strategic growth plan for the organization, along with leadership coaching for its Founder and CEO. When COVID hit, ClearHatch helped the organization pivot its program offerings from in-person sessions to a series of songwriting contests with a global reach. This allowed the organizations to continue to spread messages of social justice while remaining socially distanced. ClearHatch is provided both strategic support in planning the contests and tactical support in ensuring that contests are a success.
RISE
RISE is a national nonprofit that educates and empowers the sports community to eliminate racial discrimination, champion social justice and improve race relations.
Work included:
Human Resource Strategy
Planning and Implentation
ClearHatch is assisted RISE in reviewing its organizational chart, hiring new team members, implementing an annual review and professional development cycle that is tied to organizational goals, and conducting staff trainings that are aligned to RISE’s needs and values.
