Whether during times of conflict abroad, or coming to our aid here at home in times of tragedy or natural disaster, military service members and first responders embody the Be Fearless spirit. They let urgency conquer fear and rush in before anyone else, they test new strategies and technologies for better results, and they reach across all lines to serve those in need and in the line of duty.
This year, to commemorate Memorial Day, the Case Foundation is asking you to help us celebrate and honor our fearless heroes. When you share your photos of service members, first responders, or things and places that symbolize what service means to you through Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter, you’ll also have a chance to win one of three “care packages” (including a grand prize care package featuring an iPad mini) filled with Be Fearless gear and items that support veterans organizations like IAVA, The Wounded Warriors Project, and Got Your 6. The Case Foundation will also send a care package on behalf of the winners to troops serving overseas, as a small token of thanks for their service.
Beginning today – May 22 – at noon ET until June 5 at noon ET, you can start sharing your photos with us – and enter to win a care package – in a few different ways:
On Instagram: upload your photo using the #fearlessheroes hashtag
On Twitter: upload your photo using the #fearlessheroes hashtag and the @casefoundation Twitter handle
On Statigram: upload your photo directly through our sweeps page using the hashtag #fearlessheroes
All of your original submission through these platforms counts as an entry – and while retweets or shares of others’ content do not qualify for the sweepstakes, we hope you’ll certainly share photos and stories that inspire you! Whether you are honoring a family or friend who made a sacrifice for our country, or someone who is currently serving in the military or as a first responder, we want to see your photos, and recognize the fearless heroes all around us.

“You’ve got to act. You’ve got to be willing to fail. You’ve got to be willing to crash and burn.” – Steve Jobs, Apple
Ever since the launch of our Be Fearless campaign last year, we have been talking about experimentation, big bets, urgency, and yes – failure. The topic of failure in the social sector is filled with language to make it seem less intimidating. People talk about a “learning experience,” “work in progress,” or “opportunity.” It’s rare that the word failure will come up when discussing grant proposals or creating a new organization, as it carries with it unpleasant memories of frustration, struggle, and maybe even embarrassment. We want to change that. We want to embrace the fact that failure happens and allow people to talk about it openly and honestly. Anticipating failure, admitting it, and then moving forward with new knowledge comprise what philanthropic consultant Lucy Bernholz terms “failing forward.” It is only through direct conversations about failure that we can all truly learn from it, grow as a result of it and fail forward together.
As part of our Fearless Forum series, we have been collecting stories of failing forward across the country. Since the beginning of the year, we’ve hosted seven Fearless Forums, bringing together speakers and panelists to share their stories of fearlessness, innovation, and of course, failure. Speakers from Campbell Soup Foundation, DC nonprofit Mary’s Center, PBS, Conrad Foundation, GOOD/corps, Levi Strauss Foundation, our CEO Jean Case, and many more have spoken about their work to bring fearlessness to the social sector. It is inspiring and enlightening to hear social sector leaders willing to discuss their successes, failures, and dedication to disrupting stale and stagnant silos where tired social solutions have failed to succeed.
Earlier this month, we held a new style of Fearless Forum at the Council on Foundations conference in Chicago. We partnered with GOOD/Corps to host “Liquid Courage,” a happy hour “fail fest” with food, drinks, music, and an open floor for brief stories on failing forward. In an hour and a half, nearly one hundred COF conference attendees heard 15 stories of failing forward in philanthropy from their fearless colleagues — some pre-selected and some who volunteered on the spot. It was inspiring and humbling to hear personal stories of failure from Grant Garrison of GOOD/Corps, Rahsaan Harris from Emerging Practitioners in Philanthropy (EPIP), Chris Gates from Philanthropy for Active Civic Engagement (PACE), Daniel Lee from Levi Strauss Foundation, and many others. One of my favorite quotes came from Kristin Lindsey at the Global Fund for Children, who said, “Somebody has to say that every once in a while a grant goes bad.” It turns out that many of the stories were incredibly common, but seldom shared in public.
To see more quotes and tweets from Liquid Courage and Be Fearless at COF, check out our Storify.
Another highlight of the year so far was a session our CEO Jean Case held at the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University as part of our colleague Ambassador Doug Holladay’s Leadership Residency “LIFE ENTREPRENEURS: Bringing Meaning and Contribution to Business and Politics.” Through stories, case studies, inspiration breaks with Warby Parker founder Neil Blumenthal and City Year co-founder Alan Khazei, a FearlessFactor quiz, and roundtable discussions, Jean guided the students through an interactive exploration and conversation on the role of fearlessness in business and social innovation. Discussion ranged from anxiety about pursuing non-traditional career paths such as startups or social-purpose business to knowing how to innovate in naturally (and sometimes necessary) risk-averse cultures like finance and government.
We were fortunate to have a full recording of the session made by Echo360 and available online through our YouTube channel. View Jean’s entire session, or take a few minutes to watch some quick one-minute highlights from the day.
Most recently, team members Allie and Jenna traveled to Minneapolis for the Nonprofit Technology Conference (NTC), where they both spoke about failure in their respective sessions. In a plenary panel moderated by Beth Kanter, Allie shared some of the Case Foundation’s fail forwards and encouraged funders to lead the charge in taking risks and making little and big bets on ideas and people that are doing fearless work to change the world. Read the Storify from that session here.
There is plenty more to come from Be Fearless and our Fearless Forums this year! Stay tuned for event announcements and a new page on casefoundation.org//befearless where you can keep up to date on Fearless Forums, and hopefully you can join us at one of them. And be sure to follow us on Twitter @casefoundation, and join the #befearless conversation every day.
In the meantime, please keep telling us about new fearless stories, fearless changemakers and examples of foundations and nonprofits putting a fearless approach in practice. Let’s Be Fearless, together!

American University’s Social Enterprise program assists students in acquiring the knowledge, skills, and mindset necessary to launch a new social entrepreneurial venture or play a key leadership role in an existing one. The Case Foundation has partnered with AU to help gather critical data on the landscape of fearlessness in the social sector.
The social sector is changing at a rapid rate, and it is time for leaders to initiate bold and audacious solutions to some of our world’s most intractable problems. In response to this need, the Case Foundation launched its Be Fearless campaign to encourage the social sector to rethink traditional models, act with urgency, make failure matter, and take bigger risks. The Foundation asked us to develop a survey that will help reveal key trends on innovation, experimentation and risk-taking to better understand the state of the social sector today.
We welcome you to join us in our research to gather opinions from nonprofits and foundations on the challenges and opportunities they face in their work by taking a 15 minute survey.
Your participation is critical to providing a balanced perspective. We’re excited to get your input, and we ask that you complete the survey by Tuesday, April 30.
The intended participants of this survey include executives and staff working at foundations and nonprofit organizations. We hope you will add your voice and take the survey before Tuesday, April 30.
By completing this survey, you will also be entered into a drawing for a chance to win one of five $100 Network for Good gift cards.
American University’s Social Enterprise Program will analyze and publish the results in late summer, and we want to make sure your voice is heard. Please click here to take the 15 minute survey before Tuesday, April 30.
Thank you,

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” – African proverb
Partnership, collective impact, shared value—no matter what you call it, collaboration is the key to reaching beyond your bubble, overcoming fear, and creating new possibilities. AtTEDxMidAtlantic in October of 2012, more than 40 speakers from around the country came together to talk about what being fearless meant to them. They admitted that it can be scary to break away from the established path and start a new journey. It might feel like you have to rely on yourself (and no one else!) to achieve your dreams.
But speakers like Kakenya Ntaiya, Barbara van Dahlen, and Jessica Ladd told us that this isn’t true. Reaching beyond your bubble spreads knowledge and deepens impact. Watch the videos below and share them with people you know who are reaching beyond their bubble.
Kakenya Ntaiya (recently named a CNN Hero) reminds us that it’s okay to ask for help and when you accomplish your goals, you can change an entire community. Kakenya was the first girl in her small village in Kenya to attend college in the United States. Her entire village came together to help her take that leap, and today, her dream is to return home and give back.
Barbara van Dahlen, psychologist and founder of Give an Hour, further adds that being fearless can come from a sense of duty, like soldiers who fight because they believe in a shared mission of protecting their country. In the aftermath of military service, PTSD is a pervasive problem, and cultivating relationships with friends and family is pivotal for overcoming its challenges.
Jessica Ladd points out that the spread of sexually transmitted diseases can be eradicated when people are honest with each other. Jessica created a website to help individuals communicate with their previous sexual partners without dread or embarrassment. By tackling our fears one person at a time, entire communities can benefit.
Are you ready to be fearless? Take a pledge to reach beyond your bubble, collaborate with others, and start something new. To learn more about the amazing speakers at TEDxMidAtlantic Be Fearless, watch all of the presentations here.

We often say that Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure’s role is like that of Lewis and Clark — we go out into the wilderness, create new trails, and send back maps for others to follow. In our case, the wilderness is brain cancer. This year, our small expeditionary and experimental team will build the first model system that will enable a large number of patients to have their brain tumor fully profiled and then use that information to help them get the most state-of-the-art treatment for their exact tumors. We’re calling it the “Precision Medicine” project and we believe it’s a disruptive innovation that can revolutionize the field.
Today, 41 people in the U.S. will die from the most common form of brain cancer called glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). This happened yesterday and, unless something changes, it will happen again tomorrow. Sadly, we are still using the same basic treatment tools and techniques that we have used for decades and, in spite of our best efforts over that time, the average life expectancy for a GBM patient is still about a year.
However, brain cancer research is about to change dramatically thanks to advances in technology, and it’s our moment to let urgency conquer fear. Genetic information and robotic and nano processes are intermingling and leading us into a new era of genomically-informed “precision” medicine. Our understanding of the genomic basis of cancer is increasing at an exponential rate. We now know that not all cancers are the same, even those which arise in the same organ. More and more people are being treated with new therapies targeted at changes specific to their individual tumor.
We are also beginning to understand that one type of cancer may use the same types of biochemical pathways as another type of cancer. This raises the possibility that a drug that works for one (e.g., melanoma) can be selected and quickly adapted for use against another with a similar molecular profile (e.g., GBM).
Not long ago, it cost tens of thousands of dollars to have a tumor profiled and you could only do it in a handful of academic laboratories. These technologies are being standardized and the cost of doing a tumor profile has now dropped to around $5,000 (and will continue to fall). Even at current levels, we can begin to integrate tumor profiling into regular brain cancer care.
Our “Precision Medicine” project will bring together researchers, clinicians and, most importantly, patients to take advantage of these new opportunities and help develop the most state-of-the- art personalized treatments. If the system works, we believe that we can transform research approaches and clinical practice. If we can do that, 12 months of survival might become two years, and two years might become four, and so on and so on. At that point, brain cancer will no longer seem like such an impenetrable wilderness.
Max Wallace is the CEO of Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure, an initiative co-founded by Jean and Steve Case.

“Be the change you want to see in the world.” – Gandhi
I remember how I felt the first time I read the quote above: it profoundly touched me and gave me the additional courage to keep advocating for the change of things I feel are inefficient or simply wrong. It is never easy to be the one that raises questions about the status quo. It is certainly much easier to take no action and use the excuse that “this has the way it’s always been done, so why change it.”
Many people talk about money and technology as keys to being able to drive development in emerging markets. But interestingly enough, money and technology usually aren’t the biggest hurdles when trying to address huge issues. It turns out that the more technologically difficult a problem is, the more smart people can be mobilized to find a solution. I have also found that the bigger the problem, the more likely donors will be interested; they understand the big impact solving a big issue can have and they are tired of endlessly funding small steps that often never lead anywhere.
The most difficult hurdles you face are usually political, organizational or personal in nature. Achieving a consensus, building partnerships, establishing a common vision and getting people to think outside of their own little box requires the biggest effort. Every time you introduce a new vision, new idea or a new way of addressing things, people and organizations are afraid that it will make their current role irrelevant, leading them to lose funding or jobs: helping others overcome that fear is the difficult task of change leaders.
I have had the great opportunity over the last year to bring together a broad partnership of organizations and individuals who believe in the power of open data in humanitarian response under a program we at NetHope chose to call the Open Humanitarian Initiative.
Bringing together all of these different organizations around the common vision of improved humanitarian response has not been easy, but by investing time in understanding our partners fears, concerns and needs, we are getting close to bringing about big impact to our field. Later this fall we will be formally launching this initiative then it will be one of the broadest and most ambitious public-private partnerships ever in the humanitarian sector. By facing our fears and helping others do the same we have been able to bring together enough critical mass to cause humanitarian response to move from the industrial age to the information age.
Bringing these different organizations together and helping them face their fear of collaborating has been a learning experience for me. It has helped me understand that my own fear of thinking big is one that is worth facing, because the bigger your vision, the more impact you can have on the world we live in.
Looking back on our resolutions for 2012, we’re pleased to see that we can check most of the items off the list in some way or another. We did more #GoodSpotting throughout the year, traveled to new places, voted in the presidential election, and ran half marathons. While our meetings may not always be efficient (we like to have some fun, too!), and no one learned to knit, we are giving each other some high fives for being fearless and challenging ourselves to new opportunities and adventures.
This year is no different – we believe it’s possible to be even more fearless and to do even more good in 2013, and we hope that you’ll join us and add some of your own resolutions, goals, and big ideas for next year, in the comments, @casefoundation on Twitter, or on our Facebook page. Here’s what’s on tap for us:
Congratulations to Meghana Rao and the Portland Junior Scientists team! More than 10,000 votes were cast during the Finding Fearless Fan Favorite Voting and after carefully reviewing all of the ballots submitted we are pleased to officially report that the public overwhelmingly selected Portland Junior Scientists to win both Fan Favorite awards. Led by Meghana Rao, Portland Junior Scientists was voted the winner of an additional $10,000 bonus grant AND the REI adventure experience at Bryce Canyon National Park!
We launched Finding Fearless in September to recognize, reward, and inspire fearless changemakers. We received nearly 1,200 nominations with stories of fearless efforts happening around the country. Our Fearless Academy of nearly 100 judges reviewed the nominations and we selected the Top 20 winners. These winners all receive grants from the Case Foundation and the Goldhirsh Foundation ranging between $1,500 and $10,000, $25,000 in Microsoft software donations, an REI gift card, and a Microsoft Prize Pack, altogether totaling nearly $670,000. Additionally, all 20 winners had a chance to win more money and prizes in Fan Favorite Voting and impressively mobilized their communities. We were excited to watch the overwhelming interest in these fearless people and projects. And while Meghana managed to come out on top, all 20 projects have gained new supporters and advocates that will champion their work in the months and years ahead.
More about our Fan Favorite Winner
When Meghana Rao was 16, school funding cuts and a deep passion for science motivated Meghana to create Portland Junior Scientists. Portland Junior Scientists is a student-run volunteer organization connecting high school students with underprivileged and at-risk kids to explore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics with hands-on experimentation and discussion. Meghana’s main goal is to inspire students in underfunded schools lacking a deep science and math curriculum to pursue careers in science. We are excited to work with Portland Junior Scientists to continue to advocate for the importance of science education!
Meghana’s “get out the vote” efforts landed Portland Junior Scientists in first place for both the $10,000 bonus grant from the Case Foundation and the REI Adventure Trip. Meghana and three friends will receive a trip of a lifetime through REI Adventures valued at $5,000. They will get to visit Bryce Canyon National Park through an exclusive camping experience that celebrates having fun outdoors REI-style with the best gear, great food, and incredible guides. REI Adventure’s Signature Camping trip to Bryce Canyon is certain to provide an amazing experience and a lifetime of memories.
We are truly inspired by Meghana and all of our Finding Fearless winners! From youth programs to civic engagement and health, Finding Fearless changemakers are championing new ideas across the country. Check out our infographic with more details on our Finding Fearless participants and stay tuned in the next few months as we continue to lift up all of our winners. We will be following their progress, sharing their stories, and reporting back on lessons from the Finding Fearless program itself. In the meantime, meet the rest of the winners, read their stories, get inspired, and keep supporting their work at FindingFearless.org.
