🌈 Happy Pride Month from Community Shares of Mid Ohio! 🌈

This month, we're proud to celebrate and uplift the LGBTQ+ community and recognize the incredible work of our member organizations, including The Buckeye Flame, Equitas Health, Equality Ohio, Kaleidoscope Youth Center, and Stonewall Columbus.

These organizations work year-round to advance equality, provide vital services, build community, and create spaces where everyone can thrive.

While June is a time of celebration, Pride doesn't end when the month does. Pride is all year long. It's found in advocacy, support, visibility, acceptance, and the everyday work of building a more inclusive and equitable Ohio.

Thank you to everyone who continues to lead, serve, and show up for LGBTQ+ communities every day.

Happy Pride Month! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Columbus nonprofits: It’s time we talk to each other about AI, rather than just listening to the hype.

On June 2nd, Make-A-Day is sharing the "Mission-First AI" framework they developed as an OpenAI Foundation grantee. It’s a 30-minute deep dive into ethics and funding designed to spark the conversations we’ll have during our networking blocks.

Hosted by Community Shares of Mid Ohio at the Columbus Metropolitan Library, this is your chance to meet the people behind the mission and find your next collaborator.

Nonprofit organizations are facing growing pressure to adopt AI tools—often faster than they can thoughtfully evaluate them. For organizations serving communities that have been harmed by biased data, automated systems, and surveillance technologies, that pressure deserves careful consideration.
