Overall Vision

Ten years of impact.
Now we build the systems.

For 10 years, Showing Hearts has shown up and built a reputation for real impact, felt by more than 10,000 families and remembered by them. The next chapter is building the systems that scale that impact, make our programs repeatably fundable, and give you back your time to do what you do best.

Arms of the work
A little about me

My day job is fixing
where work gets stuck.

01
RevOps

At SEO, I helped build and maintain the systems behind an $80 million annual nonprofit budget.

02
Systems & Automations

Good systems make the work repeatable and measurable. That combination is what turns a one-time grant into a funder who comes back, because we can show them what happened.

03
Built for Scale

I build for the size we are growing into, not the size we are. If it only works today, it is not done.

How I work

We are Showing Hearts,
so I made it easy to remember.

  • RReady beats rushed

The four arms

Where each arm
goes from here

At a glance

Four arms,
one organization.

Arm One
YouthPreneur

A closed loop instead of a program with an ending.

Arm Two
Queens Community Closets

With Heart for the Community. One machine: inventory in, distribution out, sponsors funding the loop.

Arm Three
Nonprofit Capacity Building

An incubator, not a one-off workshop or event.

Arm Four
The Hub

A real space in the neighborhood, activated and generating revenue.

Arm One
YouthPreneur Summit

A closed loop instead of
a program with an ending.

The schools feed the Summit, the Summit feeds the Winners Network, and the Winners Network carries every cohort back into the schools instead of graduating them out of the room.

Arm Two
Queens Community Closets

Runs as one machine.

1
Store partners

Provide us the inventory to house in SQPA.

2
We receive, sort & stage

Sorted, tested, and staged so a pickup takes minutes.

3
Distro partners give out

Churches and community partners drawing 100+ people.

4
Sponsors pay for access

Those crowds are what a corporate partner is paying for.

5
That funds us

Sponsorship dollars keep the whole thing running.

Rinse & Repeat
Arm Three
Nonprofit Capacity Building Program

An incubator, not
a one-off workshop.

Arm Four

The Hub.

What is working

We own a real space in the neighborhood.

People are already emailing to ask about renting it.

The Hub Queens

What we build

Activation in the space that is visible.

Outside bookings, to begin generating revenue.

Recurring events, whether it is NPCB or our YouthPreneur winners.

The Hub Jar: anyone can drop an idea for an event in the jar, and one gets randomly selected each month to put on. I am asking for event ideas from you. The one rule: whoever wrote it, co-hosts it.

How we work together

Two things,
starting now.

01
One-on-one

To understand where I can support, and keep building momentum.

02
Monthly team sync

45 minutes for sharing updates, upcoming events, and more.
