This Women’s History Month, we would like to shine a spotlight on Lesly Simmons, the mind behind the innovative, hands-on, popup experience, Dollhouse Day. The Dollhouse Project was created in 2023 and is on a mission to bring more play and diversity to children through dolls. Lesly’s goal is to help kids see themselves and their neighbors represented in the toys they play with every day. During Dollhouse Day events, each child in attendance gets a doll to keep, for free. The events are supported by grants and donations to make sure as many kids can participate as possible. Hats off to Lesly for her commitment to championing inclusivity for our youth! #WomensHistoryMonth #ClientSpotlight #CommunityBank #BankofSanFrancisco #BankBSF #BankLocal

Not enough
Less than 2% of charitable giving in the United States goes to women and girls—and only a fraction of that goes to supporting girls and young women of color. This #InternationalWomensDay, we're calling on philanthropy to #InvestInWomen by creating spaces where adolescent girls and young women of color can learn, play, dream, and become powerful movement leaders. Tides Foundation's Advancing Girls Fund powers grantmaking for girls and young women of color and their allies. Since 2021, we’ve granted more than $61.9M to 150+ girl-centered organizations in 20 countries, 90% of which are BIPOC-led. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ercMjJxw

Did you know that if 10,000 people each gave just $1 right now, we could feed 200 kids for an entire month? That same amount could also send more than 10 kids in rural areas to school for a full year. We have the power to make a global impact and help people around the world, but it starts with trust and commitment. I understand how hard it can be to trust nonprofits, and that’s exactly why I started this mission—ensuring that 100% of donations (excluding credit card fees) received from social media go directly to human rights issues affecting children. We've partnered with nonprofits across four countries, and next month, we are focusing on areas where exceptionally high birth rates and scarce resources create a dire need for support. A small monthly donation, just a few dollars, adds up and transforms lives. Join me in being part of the solution. Plus, as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, your giving is tax-deductible + you get monthly updates on our project + you are put into a gratitude raffle every month. Together, we can create a better future for these kids and their communities. Don't ignore the opportunity to help—be part of the solution today. 🌎🦋 #nonprofit #humanrights #hunger #poverty #solution #socialimpact

Who are the forgotten women? Why care about somebody I don't know? It doesn't impact me, so I don't need to bother myself with it..... Let's break the stigma and their silence, stand up, and educate ourselves and those around us. Support those without a voice and those who are too scared, embarrassed, or worried about judgment! 'The Forgotten Women', over 40,000 Queensland women over the age of 55 are homeless. Sadly this figure is due to increase twofold by 2036! With over 700 based in greater Brisbane. That is 700 women who are someone’s aunt, mother, or grandmother, struggling to keep their heads above water, often doing so in silence. I am calling all my LinkedIn friends, family and colleagues, Stand with me and support my team, we are taking on the Live Like Her Challenge 2024 to help more homeless women over 55 into homes. For one night, we will sleep in a car to raise awareness and funds for The Forgotten Women project, an initiative that is close to our hearts. This initiative hits close to home for me. I have seen close friends struggle to find suitable accommodation for their families, especially elderly mothers and grandmothers who have even had to couch surf with only the clothes on their backs and without the medication some need due to having to decide which bill to pay, the house, power or food?? We can never judge one's circumstances, but we can certainly change our thought process and help rather than hinder. For some, homelessness is due to financial strain, domestic violence and, in some situations, families who don't want anything to do with them. In a situation most of us could never imagine, these women often hold their heads high and suffer in silence, but they deserve a warm, safe home. Let's help raise awareness for such a worthy cause. To support us, click “Donate Now” to make a secure online donation as “Everyone deserves to live with dignity and age securely in place”. https://lnkd.in/gNZuyqEJ All donations over $2 are tax-deductible, and you’ll receive an automatic receipt via email. Thank you for your generosity and support. In the great words of Nelson Mandela, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” 👨👩👧👧 👭 👬 💛 #LLHC2024 #livelikeherchallenge #empowerchange #educateyourself #joinmetomakeachage #homelessness #livelikeherchallange2024 #theforgettenwomen #communityservice #inittogether #fundraise #brisbane #qld #womenmatter #family #beboldbebrave #communityimpact #initiative #breakthesilence #downerutilities
👭 Our #Water team will be participating in the 'Live Like Her Challenge 2024', an initiative to raise awareness and funds for 'The Forgotten Women Project.' ❤️ Alice Austin is leading the Downer effort alongside Caitriona Floyd, Jo Rogers, Emily Auchettl-McHugh, Samantha J. and Aleisha-Marie Billing to help highlight the increasing number of homeless women over 55 facing hardship and sleeping in their cars. 🙏 If you would like to support the team and make a donation towards this worthy cause, please follow the link: https://lnkd.in/gBf4DqH9) #LLH2024 #LiveLikeHerChallenge
