Insight
PINN informs and illuminates local news news media with visual solutions storytelling, which is enhanced by the evidence-based data available through human capital management technology. Insightful employee data can also help to establish trust-based relationships between nonprofit and philanthropic organizations and potentially leverage public and private sector support.
PINN has storytelling roots in a webinar hosted by the Council on Foundations in January of 2023. The event focused on "Raise the Bar - Unlocking Career Success" and featured Miguel Cardona, Secretary of the United States Department of Education. Storytelling was introduced as the catalyst of a vision that now guides our work. We focus on locations where news deserts exacerbate the digital divide.
PINN stories focus on the public health, education, workforce, housing and library systems and their intended beneficiaries. We are also exploring ways to serve the public good through government contracting and technology transfer initiatives, which can be designed to advance the development of human-centered public interest technology and related products and services.
The Council on Foundations and the Center for Public Interest Communications at the University of Florida have published an insightful and informative study on public interest storytelling and philanthropy, which is relevant to our work. https://cof.org/sites/default/files/documents/files/private/Philanthropys-New-Voice-Building-Trust-With-Deeper-Stories-and-Clear-Language.pdf
