COVID-19 Crisis Response Fund Announces RFP Awards and Close of Fund
COVID-19 Crisis Response Fund Announces RFP Awards and Close of Fund
 Evansville, IN – The COVID-19 Crisis Response Fund of the Greater Evansville Region made grants totaling $1 million to six organizations with collaborative proposals that reimagine our region’s future. This one-time funding opportunity supports nonprofits who are reconceptualizing systems, environments, and pathways to create a more resilient region. The Request for Proposal drew 41 requests, seeking nearly $8 million. The recipients and the intended use of funds are listed below.Â
The Community Foundation Alliance, awarded $165,000, will expand the PATHS program. PATHS uses case managers, working through three local nonprofits, to help individuals improve their long-term financial stability.Â
For Evansville, awarded $185,000, will foster shared information and collaboration among the region’s nonprofits by encouraging the adoption of a shared regional database (Charity Tracker). The goal is to address duplicate services, prevent abuse of assistance, and identify gaps in service to vulnerable populations.Â
Ronald McDonald House Charities is awarded $145,000 to launch and operate a “Care Mobile†program, along with local healthcare providers. This medical clinic on wheels will provide neighborhood-based medical care to underserved pregnant and post-partum women, along with infants up to 1 year of age.Â
The Southwest Indiana Chamber Foundation is awarded $240,000 to utilize technology and targeted marketing to build a talent pipeline, as well as expand the quality of place assets.Â
The University of Evansville is awarded $90,000 to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion by creating the Springboard summer day program. Springboard is a partnership with Black Lemonade that will address the preparation gap for under-resourced high school students before graduation. The program includes STEAM curriculum, character development, and leadership training.Â
YMCA of SWI, awarded $175,000, will establish a coalition of organizations dedicated to improving grade-level reading by third grade. Nationally, 80% of children from low-income families are not proficient readers by the end of third grade, creating significant, long-term consequences for both the children and the community. 2Â
“The members of the Executive Committee were impressed by the many collaborative, innovative proposals that were submitted. Even though the Response Fund wasn’t able to make grants to all 41 programs, it is our hope that many of them will find funders through other private and public partnerships. We eagerly anticipate the impact these new initiatives will have on our region. As the Fund comes to a close, we believe it has not only helped with relief and recovery, but also generated a movement toward greater resiliency. We are grateful for the community’s support and encourage everyone to give generously to our region’s nonprofits,†said Carl Chapman, COVID-19 Crisis Response Fund Executive Committee Chair.Â
Thanks to a community effort led by local leaders, the Response Fund has raised more than $6.6 million since its inception in March 2020. It has distributed the $6.6 million by awarding 209 grants to various nonprofits throughout the five-county region.

National Academy Of Medicine Award To Advance USI Research Linking Artificial Intelligence And Aging
The University of Southern Indiana has received a $50,000 Catalyst Award from the U.S. National Academy of Medicine (NAM) — part of the National Academy of Sciences — for a project to improve emotional well-being and independence for people living with dementia, especially those aging-in-place.
Dr. Lisa Fournier, Project Coordinator for the USI Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Program (GWEP), entered NAM’s Healthy Longevity Global Competition with a proposal to investigate whether an artificial intelligence (AI) virtual assistant can help create a positive emotional environment for people with cognitive disabilities. Her application was one of 25 accepted this year by NAM and was among 145 international awardees announced during a virtual event on Wednesday, September 22.
“To be recognized on a global stage is very exciting,†said Fournier. “I’m so inspired by all the research and innovative projects that are taking place worldwide to help maintain health and well-being as we age.â€
Fournier’s project, Joy for People Living with Dementia Using a Virtual Assistant, is based on “Joi,†an AI virtual assistant that creates personalized “joy pops†for people living with dementia within a smart-home living environment. “Joy is linked to dopamine systems that reward the brain when having a positive experience, as well as reinforce behavior, motivating a person to repeat an activity,†she said. “Our goal is to harness the power of AI and combine it with joy, meaning and positivity to help people living with dementia grow and rise above the challenges of cognitive disabilities and maintain independence.â€
Fournier and the GWEP team will use the NAM Catalyst Award to accelerate “Joi†in the Minka Learning Lab for Living Well, a 600-square-foot home on the USI campus that integrates technology, adaptable living and innovations in aging and wellness. She said the AI “joy pop†triggers will be based on input from sensors in the smart home, including motion, sound, temperature and light to provide a comfortable and moderately stimulating environment to reduce agitation, apathy and anxiety. Read the USI project description on the Healthy Longevity Global Competition website.
According to NAM, older adults will begin to outnumber the young for the first time in recorded history in the year 2030. This demographic shift poses significant challenges, but also is an opportunity for innovation around healthy longevity. NAM founded the Healthy Longevity Global Competition to accelerate research and entrepreneurism with a series of monetary awards and prizes. The first of three cycles of the Catalyst phase began in January 2020, and there are also Accelerator and Grand Prize phases. Learn more about NAM’s 2021 Catalyst Award recipients.
Business Turn-Around Management
Business Turn-Around Management
(This Article Is Number 2 of 3)
By Jesse Kauffman, Lead Consultant, Everyday Business Resilience Group
In this, article 2 of 3 on Business Turnaround Management, we’ll walk through how to quantify the impact of the business failures you identified when going through the first article of the series. To recap from the first article, we focused on identifying where business failures were happening based on 3 primary focus areas: People, Process, and Place.
Now that you’ve figured out what the business failures were, how do you quantify the impacts to your business? At Everyday Business Resilience Group, we focus on quantifying impacts by how they affect 3 aspects of your business: finances, time, and reputation.
Finances
What did the business failure COST your business? How much money did you lose? How much potential revenue did you miss out on? How much did you have to spend on fixing or recovering from the failure?
Businesses don’t exist without cashflow, so understanding what the failure is costing your business, from all possible aspects, is critical to understanding where to focus your turnaround efforts. If you don’t know how much money you lost, spent, or will have to spend to deal with a business failure, how will you know where to put your time, energy, and critically, hard-earned money to make sure you turnaround your business? Â
Work with your accounting and finance partners, whether they’re internal or external to your business, to get a true picture of what the business failures you’re trying to fix are costing you financially.
Time
How much time did the identified failures cost your business? How much of your time? How much of your employee’s time? How much of your customers time? How much of each business stakeholder’s time?
Lost time can’t be recovered. Lost time is directly related to the finances and reputation of your business. Quanitfying the time a business failure costs you allows you to know where that valuable resource is slipping away from your business. Â
To make the most of the valuable time you have for turning around your business, work with the business partners, employees, and upstream and downstream vendors to understand where there is wasted time in your business. There are many tools available from 6 sigma and lean methodologies that you can use for these analyses, so pick one that fits your preference and business needs.
Reputation
Reputation is perhaps the most critical aspect of your business, and yet is often the most difficult to quantify. How do you currently monitor and judge what your business’ reputation is in the marketplace? Do you have a way to track client and customer feedback? Do you regularly seek out feedback on how your business is meeting your stakeholder needs?
If you haven’t been tracking your business reputation, now is the time to reach out to a marketing expert to work with you to quantify how your business looks to your clients, to your competition, to the regulatory agencies that could impact your business, and to your employees and peers. If you already have in-house or contracted marketing support, now is the time to really dig-in to the data they have and develop a complete picture of the strengths and weaknesses of your business’ reputation and image.
Once you’ve quantified the financial, time, and reputational impacts of the failures you identified from part 1 of this series, you’ll be able to move to the third phase of Business Turnaround Management, building a plan of action and executing that plan. We’ll dig into how to put your plan together and execute it in the third article of this series. Â
Deciding to turnaround your business is a big step, and if you need help with any of these tools, give us a call at Everyday Business Resilience Group. We’re looking forward to helping your business turnaround process, and seeing you succeed!

MEET GINGER HARPER DIRECTOR OF SALES AND MARKETING AT ONBP
MEET GINGER HARPER DIRECTOR OF SALES AND MARKETING AT ONBP
Some people are always out in front, shaking hands and making new friends everywhere they go. Others tend to bury themselves in strategic planning, working behind the scenes towards the next goal. As Director of Sales and Marketing for the Old National Events Plaza, Ginger Harper spends most of her time doing both.
A native of Evansville, Harper has cultivated her business development skills through relationship building and operational functions across a diverse set of industries. After graduating with a business degree, focused on marketing and entrepreneurship from the University of Southern Indiana, Harper began her career in Event Management with Old National Events Plaza, then known as The Centre. She spent the first part of her career planning and executing some of the venue’s most complex events like the Association of Indiana Mayors (AIM) convention. Next, she moved into a role with the venues culinary team, SAVOR, remaining in a sales and service position. During that time her work was focused on planning events with local clients who required catering services. Harper also traveled to other destinations with team SAVOR, assisting venues with major events like the Honda Grand Prix in St. Pete, FL.
Ginger’s next step was in the non-profit sector, combining her passions for reaching the underserved, planning special events, and marketing them. As the communications and events manager for the Evansville Christian Life Center, Harper planned the organization’s fundraising events and managed marketing operations, messaging the Life Centers’ services to thousands of community members every year. A few years later, Ginger transitioned to a position in retail management, taking on a new set of challenges, shifting to the co-management role of a five/million dollar high-end retailer where she was charged with managing the store’s operational flow as well as team training. In retail management, Harper enjoyed the personal aspects of cultivating deeper client relationships, driving business culture, and motivating her team members. She says the experience truly helped frame her view and strategies for sales and marketing now.Â
“Retail, when done right, builds a very personal and loyal relationship with the customer. That business development model, putting the client’s need and vision first, translates well to the venue and destination sales. It boils down to the client trusting you to make them look good. When an event is executed well from point of sale to completion, the planner and host organization look like the winners. That means the convention center wins too, and downtown Evansville wins. When our clients feel confident hosting with us, we’ve done our jobs.” Harper says.Â
After six years of growing sales, developing lasting client relationships, and managing business operations, she had the opportunity to return to the Events Plaza as the sales & marketing manager. Since 2016, Ginger has taken on expanding responsibilities almost yearly. Moving from sales manager to assistant director, interim director and finally the sales and marketing director – all in under 5 years. Harper has keen attention to detail, an eye for identifying market trends and gauging local appetite for new products and offerings. She is well versed at selling not only the Plaza to potential events but also the city and partnering venues. Ginger says she enjoys working with the team at Old National Events Plaza and will continue driving the convention centers growth by hosting successful local and regional events.
When she’s not working, Ginger enjoys spending time with her little one, baking, hiking, biking, and spending time outdoors.â€
