Premier Members Making a Difference: Council for Supplier Diversity

Premier Members Making a Difference: Council for Supplier Diversity

Alina January 5, 2023

The Council for Supplier Diversity is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with the mission of using the disciplines of supplier diversity initiatives as an engine for economic empowerment in underrepresented communities. We are dedicated to expanding business opportunities for women, minority, service-disabled veterans, and other business enterprises.

We believe that diverse business development is a key component of reducing poverty, unemployment, increasing wealth, and integrating American society.

The Council is a powerful partner and resource for diverse suppliers to expand and increase their bottom line. We help diverse businesses grow so they can give back and help others. As the businesses we work with grow their capacity, it enables them to support opportunities for others in the underserved community. The Council offers a variety of services to promote supplier diversity and economic equity. Some of the services offered are:

  • Supplier diversity sourcing and sourcing program development
  • Specialized business lending services
  • Supplier development and training programs
  • Office space, conference rooms, and event bookings for meetings, trainings, etc.

Over the years, the Council has established strategic relationships with partners in the community. We work with partners such as San Diego Youth Services, Access Inc., and other local agencies to assist them in their objectives for delivering workforce development and economic sustainability programs for youth and adults. These relationships allow us to leverage the small and diverse business community’s expertise in supporting local programs.

Over the past year, we have put an emphasis on enhancing our relationships with other organizations in the community to provide opportunities for the underserved youth. We have expanded our Young Entrepreneur Academy program this year to support the goals of both the county’s Department of Justice and Office of Education. Our collaboration with the Juvenile Diversion Initiative (JDI) by the DA’s office allows eligible youth the opportunity to attend our Young Entrepreneur Academy as part of the program designed to divert them from the court system. This collaboration gives them additional guidance, mentorship, and support, but most importantly, gets them exposure to the opportunity of business and entrepreneurship as a potential career path.

More recently, we have developed a Financial Support Services team to help small/underserved businesses access the financials they need to grow their businesses and create jobs in the community. This new business lending service gives businesses access to a variety of business credit solutions thanks to our partnerships with lenders who have a special interest in supporting the diverse businesses in our community. Our financial team will work with individuals to tailor an appropriate financial solution based on their businesses’ specific needs. This is possible thanks to the support of our key partners: Union Bank, Civic Community Partners, Mission Driven Finance, and DBE financial firm, Genesis Funding.

We are excited to announce our annual end-of-year fundraiser for the month of December. This fundraiser is a great opportunity to support and get involved with The Council!

The funds generated over this month will help us continue to serve the community by funding programs such as our High Performance Supplier Series and Young Entrepreneur Academy, as well as help us expand our organization’s reach to help provide more opportunities to the diverse businesses in our community.

You can help support the council by visiting our website and making a donation, or if you own a diverse business or know the owner of a business who would benefit from the council’s services, we encourage you to get connected with us and register your business today!

Premier Members Making a Difference: Lucky Duck Foundation

Alina November 17, 2022

The Lucky Duck Foundation appreciates being connected with local non-profit professionals, philanthropists, business leaders, and other organizations to promote the advancement of philanthropic efforts, community collaboration, and the sharing of resources and strategies to improve our collective impact on the community.

The Lucky Duck Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that raises money to fund and activate high-impact programs aimed at alleviating the suffering of homelessness throughout San Diego County.

The Lucky Duck Foundation organizes, funds and drives a wide range of programs, including over 15 employment and job training programs; bridge shelters to provide shelter for well over 400 individuals nightly; a “Cash for Trash” program that enables homeless individuals to earn $2 for every bag of trash cleaned up (after its first 34 days, more than 44 tons of trash were picked up); a food & water outreach program that reaches nearly 1,000 people daily and has eclipsed 1.5 million meals distributed in just over 2 and a half years; and the distribution of more than 5,000 winter coats that transform into sleeping bags.

Earlier this year the Lucky Duck Foundation launched its second $1 million investment in region-wide employment and job training opportunities for individuals experiencing homelessness. This iteration includes a laptop for every graduate and employment opportunities in tech, tech support, and warehouse operations. One employment program hires Salvation Army shelter residents and trains them to be food rescue route drivers by operating routes provided by Feeding San Diego. In June of 2022, this three-pronged collaborative effort reached a milestone: more than 500,000 lbs. of food have been rescued, and all graduates have secured full-time employment and are still housed.

The Lucky Duck Foundation successfully partnered with the County and City of San Diego on a new initiative to create and open a new bridge shelter in the Midway District that provides up to 150 shelter beds for those suffering from behavior and mental health illness. The Lucky Duck Foundation donated the use of its bridge shelter and covered costs to construct it and the shelter was opened in September.

Additionally, the first week of November, the Lucky Duck Foundation’s food & water program eclipsed 1,500,000 meals distributed to individuals suffering from homelessness or on the brink – all in less than two years. The program is largely driven by volunteers and maximizes its reach and impact by leveraging partnerships with many local outreach organizations.

Giving Tuesday is a prominent upcoming campaign in which the Lucky Duck Foundation will continue to raise money to provide Empowerment Plan sleeping bag coats to unsheltered homeless San Diegans. While we call on regional elected leaders to add more immediately available beds, the need to provide protection and warmth from the elements is critical. As such, the Lucky Duck Foundation has committed to distributing several thousand more Empowerment Plan sleeping bag coats during the fall and winter of 2022. This is in addition to distributing more than 5,000 coats since 2020. The first 100 coats were distributed on World Homeless Day (10/10) in partnership with the Empowerment Plan, who distributed 100 coats in 10 different cities on 10/10.

These weather-resistant coats are manufactured by homeless parents and transform into sleeping bags to provide reprieve and protection from the cold pavement. It is the least we can do while we encourage our elected leaders to add inclement weather shelter beds. Coats are distributed through our food and water initiative.

The Lucky Duck Foundation has committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion within and beyond our organization and the individuals we serve; and we practice this every day through our food & water outreach initiative and other programs.

Interfaith Community Services empowers people in need to stabilize and improve their lives through comprehensive programs, in partnership with diverse faith communities and people of compassion.

Interfaith provides both immediate safety net services and long-term, life-changing services for the most poor and most vulnerable of our San Diego County residents. Our 75+ services and programs are organized into five main areas, all designed to overlap so that clients have access to as many resources as necessary for their individual situation: Supportive Services and Basic Needs, Recovery & Wellness, Homeless Outreach & Shelters, Employment & Economic Development, and Housing. These comprehensive programs work to ensure that individuals become self-sufficient, active participants in our community. All programs are focused on the goal of helping individuals and families in crisis stabilize and improve their well-being, while also working to end homelessness and alleviate poverty.

What do you benefit most from being a member of NCPC?

Interfaith Community Services is proud and thankful to be a member of NCPC. We work in partnership with hundreds of diverse faith communities, thousands of supporting donors and volunteers, and dozens of partner community-based organizations. NCPC strengthens our connections and our ability to work in genuine and true partnership to deliver on our mission of helping people help themselves.

What was your organization/company’s biggest accomplishment in the past six months – one year?

Our new Abraham and Lillian Turk Recuperative Care Center, the home of Interfaith’s post-hospitalization program, is in the last stage of renovations and is expected to open by winter 2022. The last of renovations include a multi-service dining hall, the creation of a serenity garden, and office space for clinical staff and social workers.

In response to a growing humanitarian crisis with at least a 56% increase in families experiencing homelessness since 2020, Interfaith launched its new Family Shelter. The program is the first and only low-barrier family shelter in North County and is operating out of a temporary location while a permanent site is being renovated. Since August 2021, Interfaith has served 65 families, sheltering over 200 adults and children. Out of the 223 individuals served, 126 have been children with 96 being under the age of 12. We are excited to share that the Family Shelter will move to its permanent home at the Hawthorn Veteran and Family Resource Center in the winter of 2022.

We are proud of our organizational capacity to survive pandemic-related critical challenges and to grow and strengthen our critical safety net services to meet the needs of communities in crisis. Please consider joining our invaluable community of volunteers! getinvolved@interfaithservices.org

Have you made a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion within your organization/company, and if so, how are you demonstrating it?

For over 40 years, Interfaith Community Services has provided services to and advocated for vulnerable and underserved members of San Diego County – regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, religion, or sexual orientation. Following the murder of George Floyd, Interfaith pledged to actively address the inexorable link between racism, poverty, homelessness, and trauma. In 2020, we launched an employee-led Racial Justice Working Group, now called the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Anti-Racism Working Group.

In 2021, Interfaith partnered with a diversity consulting firm to facilitate our commitment to Anti-Racism. We are engaged in a lengthy process of self-assessment, and education, and as of June 2022, every employee has received DEIA training. Our pledge to combat all forms of oppression and marginalization is central to our mission. We will continue to work diligently to bring to fruition our vision of a society in which all people can lead healthy, self-sufficient, and empowered lives.

Premier Members Making a Difference: Catalent Pharma Solutions (San Diego)

Jena Ralls August 22, 2022

What do you benefit most from being a member of NCPC?

At Catalent San Diego, we are dedicated to two things:

1. “Patient First” philosophy drives all of our actions,

2. Community Support and Involvement helps everyone else we don’t touch.

Our volunteering and philanthropy programs amplify the enthusiasm we have for giving back to our communities—especially in the areas of health and STEM education. Catalent San Diego has a long history of giving back to our neighbors. Through “Catalent Cares,” employees have been organizing volunteer projects and charitable giving for years. In alignment with our corporate responsibility strategy, we encourage employees to volunteer for organizations that serve patients, expand STEM education, and protect the environment.

Catalent San Diego has one community ambassador who coordinates with our Corporate Responsibility team, defines the local volunteering strategy, and connects employees to causes and non-profit partners important to the site. Our ambassadors champion volunteering and ensure that our projects align with local community needs. In alignment with our actions and philosophy, Catalent San Diego benefits from being a part of NCPC, because we become more directly connected to the organizations that are doing the heavy lifting to help our community at large.

What is your Mission?

Catalent San Diego’s mission is to develop, manufacture, and supply products that help people live better healthier lives. We work closely with innovative biotechs (worldwide) that have life-changing small molecules or peptides. In the San Diego facility, we help biotechs turn these molecules into capsules, tablets or injectables to be used in ‘first in human’ clinical trials.

What do you offer to the community?

We have a long tradition at Catalent San Diego of volunteerism with our employees through our ‘Catalent Cares’ program to the donation of grants for non-profits that have heavy, positive impacts in our community. We willingly give our time and treasure to ensure that our community knows that we could not be here without them. We not only help construct lifesaving treatments (with our partner biotechs) for those in need, but we also give back in a more immediate and direct way.

What was your organization/company’s biggest accomplishment in the past six months/one year?

We worked on over 60 life-changing therapies, focusing on very different indications including oncology, COVID-19, Parkinson’s, and many more. We also donated over 1000 hours of community service during the pandemic. Some of the beneficiaries of these hours went to supporting Mountain Shadows Thanksgiving gift baskets, San Diego Food Bank, Homeless Hygiene Supplies, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and Community College Career Panels.

Which event or campaign do you have coming up that you would like to share with our readers?

In late 2021, we opened our first-ever Clinical Supply Services warehouse and manufacturing depot in San Diego. This 25,000 sq. ft. facility stores clinical supplies and therapies. The facility also has the ability to package tablets, and capsules in very specific ways (e.g., blinding, special label techniques, import/export, complicated packaging designs and blister cards) and deliver them anywhere in the world for clinical trials. Bottom line – we have another facility to support the Patient First!

Have you made a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion within your organization/company, and if so, how are you demonstrating it?

At Catalent, we foster an environment where individuals are welcomed, appreciated, heard, and respected, where differences and similarities are valued. We aim to create a collaborative and engaging workplace that drives innovation and excellence. From our experience, employees with different backgrounds and experiences working together can yield better decisions, driving innovation and excellence in everything we do. Our diversity and inclusion (D&I) council break down silos where people feel they can share their ideas freely and take considered risks, often leading to higher contributions. We frequently have in-depth discussions about the direction of the D&I strategy, priority areas, and the groundwork that needs to be done across the organization. Our D&I program creates a working environment that provides more innovation, better access to talent, and additional opportunities for continued career advancement. Collaboration through trust, respect, and empathy are key elements for success. The uniqueness of every employee makes Catalent an inclusive place where we not only realize our dreams, but also the dreams of our customers and the patients we serve.

What was your organization/company’s biggest accomplishment in the past six months/one year?

With the onset of the war in Ukraine, Impact Cubed connected with a grassroots network of leaders on the ground to understand urgent needs and help link donors around the world to respond immediately. The network was able to increase evacuations of Ukrainians from the most dangerous regions and deliver food and medicines to communities that were cut off from supplies, lacking food and water for weeks. More than 360 funders contributed generously, powering a tenacious grassroots network that provides nourishment, evacuations to safety, and sexual assault kits via trained and trusted healthcare providers to rape survivors, often victimized more than once. Learn more here.
