“Thinksgiving® is so important to Filament. It allows us to multiply our impact and make a real dent in the challenges facing mission-focused nonprofits in our community. They are already doing a lot of the heavy lifting to improve our region,” says Matt Homann, Founder and CEO of Filament and inventor of Thinksgiving®.
Thinksgiving® is an annual event that culminates on a single day. The schedule of events includes:
- Challenge Workshop (Nonprofits) – Early September - Nonprofits identify a challenge impacting their work for their community. Filament helps craft these into single-sentence challenge questions with the help of the nonprofit.
- Draft Day (Business Partners) – Late September - Companies, known as Business Partners, select a challenge without knowing the nonprofit it belongs to that aligns with the skillset and expertise of their team.
- Best Practice Workshop (Business Partners) – Early October - Business Partners receive tools and tricks applicable to the Thinksgiving® experience - and beyond - and explore what’s worked and what hasn’t to share ideas on how to best approach their collaboration.
- Thinksgiving® Day and Solutions Showcase (Everyone) – November 3 - After the day's hard work concludes, a party where everyone shares their work, meets one another, and learns more about all the participating Nonprofits and Business Partners is hosted.
Nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, a defined mission statement, established leadership, and fully committed to engaging in this progress can apply to be a Thinksgiving® Nonprofit. To join, please fill out the application athttps://www.thinksgiving.org/faq by the July 15 deadline. In August, the selection committee will convene and announce invitations to participate.
