Last week, Article celebrated our second annual Volunteer Day and Week of Giving as we focused on giving back to organizations driving change in communities across the country! Chicago home teams had the opportunity to work on the beginning stages of 4 Habitat for Humanity Chicago homes, repack COVID test kits and food for the Greater Chicago Food Depository, and repaint a section of Metropolitan Family Services' Emergency Shelter. Meanwhile, Article's property teams collaborated with organizations in their communities on running food and clothing donation drives, distributing food at local food banks, fundraising for the SPCA, and more. We are excited to continue the tradition of uplifting the communities we share in years to come. See more information on the Chicago-based organizations we support below: https://lnkd.in/guVwPtu https://lnkd.in/ebG4WyD https://lnkd.in/gxWMgxn

I don't pretend to be an expert on this, but this is one of the many reasons I love working at Feather Down Farms. As a society, we're witnessing the rise of screen addiction among our children, I know we are as a family. Recent studies have shown that prolonged exposure to screens can lead to issues like sleep disturbances, obesity, poor academic performance, and even developmental delays. 😔 Here are a few steps I have started to try and implement in our house: 📺 Set Screen Time Limits: Establish clear guidelines for screen time and stick to them. We encourage outdoor activities, reading, and imaginative play as alternatives. 🤳 Lead by Example: My children often mimic my behaviour so I am conscious of my screen time and leave my phone in other rooms of the house to remove the temptation for me to scroll or respond to messages 💻 Create Tech-Free Zones: Designated areas in our home where screens are not allowed, such as our dining table or the kids' bedrooms, to promote quality family time. 🏕️ Enjoy a Feather Down weekend often #ScreenTime #ChildHealth #DigitalWellBeing #ParentingTips #Education #HealthyHabits
In today's fast-paced digital age, it's easy for children to become glued to screens, losing touch with the wonders of the natural world. Yet, amidst the hustle and bustle of modern life, there lies a treasure trove of benefits awaiting our children - the great outdoors. 🌱 Whether you live in a busy city or quiet suburbia, the benefits of enjoying the great outdoors span beyond just fresh air and sunshine. ☀️ In our partnership blog with Go Beyond charity, we unveil the multitude of benefits for children when they head into the great outdoors. ➡ https://lnkd.in/e-jQvN_m

For this week's South Dakota Gives contest, they have asked us to provide them with two good reasons for participating in South Dakota's Day of Giving and two good reasons for making a gift to our organization for South Dakota's Day of Giving. Reasons for participation: 1. South Dakota's Day of Giving provides a wonderful avenue for the Furniture Mission to spread awareness of our organization to both donors and families in need of our services. 2. South Dakota's Day of Giving also promotes volunteer involvement, allowing us to make 14 furniture deliveries and serve 10 families onsite on November 28th! That is 24 families helped in just one day! Reasons to consider giving to our organization for South Dakota's Day of Giving: 1. Gifts to our organization allow us to continue offering all household necessities completely free of charge. 2. Gifts to the Furniture Mission also help us to maintain our facility, provide upkeep on trucks so we can deliver to our elderly/disabled clients, and help us purchase materials for toddler beds and furniture repairs. #ForSouthDakota South Dakota Gives #mission605 #makinghousesintohomes #nonprofitlife #nonprofitorganization #nonprofit #501c3nonprofit #southdakota #southdakotalife #siouxfalls #siouxfallssd #sleeptight605 #repurpose #reuse #recycle #upcycle #donate #donation #blessed #blessing

Writer, Editor & Content Creator | Strategy & Project Management | Environmental NPO Communications & Fundraising Manager
I have been Protect the West Coast's Fundraising Manager for a year now. With no real prior hands-on NGO fundraising experience, apart from my Communications Manager role with PTWC, I was dropped in the deep end. Of course, I immediately discovered that raising sufficient funds for a non-profit to keep the lights on is an enormous challenge. On one hand the 'ask' is easier as you are asking people to support a good cause. But on the other, you are competing with a cacophony of other similar causes, as well as the fact that times are tough and people don't have a lot of money to throw around. While my media, marketing and sales experience in the private sector has naturally been of huge benefit and there is a strong overlap between comms and fundraising, non-profit fundraising is a different animal to commercial marketing, requiring fresh creative thinking to stand out from the crowd and solicit sufficient, ongoing support. Our team have come up with a couple of new fundraising concepts that we will be testing in the coming weeks and months. I am gravitating towards and enjoying email as a communications and fundraising tool, so my focus will be on that aspect, but of course, we will also be promoting our campaigns on social media etc. What do you think? Do you think this is a good approach or are there better ways to raise funds from the public? Any further advice would be much appreciated. This stuff is hard, but we are getting there!
Taking our cues from environmental NGOs that we admire, such as The Surfrider Foundation, Protect the West Coast is embarking on a series of weekly themed email and social media public fundraising campaigns. Although we have secured some great corporate and private backing in recent months and our branded merch is ticking over nicely, like all NPOs we always still need more support to achieve our aims. Every little bit counts, and this is where individual donations, no matter how small, can make a huge difference – especially if they are recurring. 'Buy us a (virtual) coffee every month' is the first of our new campaigns. By skipping the cost of a latte or cappuccino, we are appealing to our supporters to instead commit to R30 a month to help us Protect the West Coast. Sign up now: https://bit.ly/3UL6rID PS. The cup is not included, but we also hope to add this to our product range soon! #nonprofit #fundraising #ptwc #NPO #westcoast #illegalmining

Nonprofits, including churches, see a huge influx of donations and gifts during the month of December. With this in mind, it’s important for churches to talk about #giving this time of year. This can be done on social media, through email or a letter, on the church website, or in the church newsletter. By starting the conversation, you’ll increase the likelihood of people giving to your church (and it’s Christ-centered mission) when the desire to be generous strikes. Read some of our tips for how your church can tap into that holiday spirit and into this practical mindset with five simple ideas ➡️ https://myc.ph/48pD7gf #giving #seasonofgiving #holidaygiving #donate
