Today, as we honor the #InternationalDayofCharity, we also celebrate the 1-year anniversary of our animated video, "Bake A Difference: The Full-Funding Principle." 🎂 Over the past year, this video has sparked crucial conversations about the often-overlooked operational costs that nonprofits face. It's a reminder of the importance of offering comprehensive support to these vital organizations. As we reflect on the progress made, we invite you to watch and share this video. Let’s continue the dialogue and work together to create a more effective and resilient society. A huge thank you to Firetree Philanthropy, Manan Trust, RFI Asia, and Red Angel Media for their incredible support in making this happen. 🙏 #InternationalDayOfCharity #BakeADifference #FullFunding #Philanthropy

THANK YOU, Shared Value Initiative Hong Kong, for highlighting our work - we are thrilled to be a finalist for the Shared Value Bravery Award 2024, and cannot wait for the Awards Night next week! We came together as a group to work towards stronger, more resilient nonprofit organisations, which will, in turn, build a better society for all. While our focus is Hong Kong, the message in our #BakeADifference video (link in the Comments below) is truly universal and resonated with so many around the world. #philanthropy #collaboration #fullfunding Angelyn Lim LLB.,GCB.D.Pia Wong Fion Leung Harriet Beavis Hayley Hunt Lucinda Pike Shalini Mahtani Judy Kan Sky Siu Victoria Wisniewski Otero (She/Her) Jo Hayes (She/Her) Firetree Philanthropy Foundation Manan Trust

🎉Exciting news! We're thrilled to be finalists for the Shared Value Project Award in the 'Shared Value Bravery' category! 💪 As a group of dynamic women social impact leaders, we've been making a difference as a collective force, "Voice for Social Good", in Hong Kong since March 2020. Our goal? A more equitable, inclusive, and resilient Hong Kong. Through stakeholder engagement, thought leadership, and collaboration, we tackle systemic issues and amplify the voices of the underserved. 🤝🌱 Our advocacy work has led to groundbreaking core operational funding and flexible practices from funders in Hong Kong. We even successfully met with the HK Government to convey the need for urgent financial support, to which they responded by including registered nonprofits in the next round of emergency funding. Our #BakeADifference campaign and global video reception show that the need for core operational funding is universal. Trust-based partnerships between nonprofits and funders are crucial for sustainable growth and effective service delivery. Let's shift the focus from constant fundraising to impactful work. With this award nomination, we're inspired to show others that they too can make a difference. Together, we are #stronger and #braver. Angelyn Lim LLB.,GCB.D.

🤩 We are absolutely thrilled to share with you the incredible success of our #BakeADifference video and public education campaign! 🎉📽 It's been an amazing journey, and we couldn't have done it without the support of our larger community! Our #viral video and public education campaign were the result of almost one year of hard work and focus by 12 women social impact leaders. As we met at least fortnightly to work on this #passionproject, we knew something special was cooking... Here's a glimpse into the remarkable outcomes we achieved: 🌍Global Impact: Our video went viral, reaching tens of thousands of people worldwide, on all continents except the Arctic and the Antarctica!  🔥 Igniting Conversations: The power of our campaign goes beyond views and shares - the #BakeADifference video and accompanying Discussion Guide have ignited hundreds, if not thousands, of meaningful conversations on the critical topic of operational funding. We loved receiving this message from one of our NGO peer leaders who shared a recent comment from their generous donor: "I'm delighted to offer an unrestricted donation after watching the Bake A Difference video by Voice for Social Good. It truly showcases the significance of operational funding." And one from Gouri Mirpuri - Founder, The Learning Farm Indonesia; President, UID USA, United in Diversity Foundation "The video is so well done, and THANK YOU! Now I have a tool to use with funders which explains things gently and yet oh so effectively!🙏" We're incredibly grateful for stories like these, and we'd love to hear more!  Share your experiences, thoughts, and stories in the comments below, or feel free to reach out to us privately. Together, we can continue making a difference and creating positive change in our communities. 💪🙌   #socialimpact #fundfullcosts #nonprofits #donate #philanthropy #makeadifference #BakeADifference #sustainnonprofits Nicky Wilkinson Firetree Philanthropy Foundation Amanda Clarke Angelyn Lim LLB.,GCB.D.

“Effective social change takes time. It requires sustained effort, learning from mistakes, and iterative improvement. Unrestricted funding provides non-profits with the stability needed to take the long view.” - James Chen Thanks James for sharing your view on our #BakeADifference campaign and the importance of operational funding 🤝

A toast to all the inspiring NGO leaders who joined us for a little festive cheers yesterday!
