Project details
What we need
- Audit of existing Employee Handbook, or internal communications regarding employment policies
- Edit or creation of a new Employee Handbook, which may include any of the following: Standards of Conduct, Work Schedules, Leave Policies, Termination Policies, Safety and Security, Anti-Discrimination policies, Compensation and Benefits policies, any Non-Disclosure Agreements or Conflict of Interest statements that may apply, and any other pertinent information
Additional details
Knowledge of any reporting or requirements affiliated with 501(c)3 and/or transitioning from fiscal sponsorship to 501(c)3
What we have in place
- We currently have draft HR policies and finalized policies required for 501c3, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have application for using JustWorks moving forward to help with HR, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,430 , allowing us to train 15 youth in environmental leadership through a summer intensive.
This will help us to ensure a transparent and supportive work environment as we grow our staff, board, and volunteers. It will increase our organizational structure so we can grow our programs to inspire social action for a just and livable world!

Our mission
We are building a global cultural movement to inspire BIG, BOLD, and BEAUTIFUL climate actoin. We are a creative, action-oriented community of arts, policy, science, communications, and business experts committed to creating and sharing innovative approaches to tackling social and environmental challenges.
What we do
The Human Impacts Institute was founded in 2011 and over the course of the past seven years, HII has provided over 1,200 hours of environmental educational programming across several core themes. The themes include stewardship-based initiatives such as Tree Care, environmental justice public resources such as the Impact Hours series, and climate communication programs such as the Creative Climate Awards, a competition bringing climate-inspired art to NYC audiences and beyond. HII's framework focuses on using arts and creativity as a tool for strengthening traditional environmental action methods. HII has developed environmental programs on a variety of topics for diverse audiences. Programs include youth environmental leadership intensives, community environmental workshops, local estuary and tree care stewardship opportunities for all ages, and more. These programs strive to integrate creative projects such as film and video, graphic design, tree guard building, and more.
We know there's a gap between knowing, understanding, and taking action. By building diverse communities and connecting you to solutions in beautiful and engaging ways, we inspire you to take action by making issues personal and practical to your life.
Testimonials
Dawn really helped us make sure we were both adhering to New York State and Federal laws in terms of our policies, while also helping us retain the "feel" of our organization. She was responsive and, even in the face of a personal emergency, persevered and kept working with us to complete the project.
