Why launch as a not-for-profit?? It is a question that has been asked of me many times and while the FAQ captures the essence, there are no shortage of reasons why I never doubted that this was the best corporate structure for Time to Give Network. Here are a few more: 1) People are more receptive to a conversation when I'm asking them to support an altruistic venture as opposed to helping me and a bunch of investors to get rich 2) We want to lead by example and create a "purposeful" company to show that a company doesn't need to be be focused on maximising investor returns in order to be considered successful. 3) As I turned 60, my legacy has become greater focus 4) Since the premise of the platform is "giving back", it seemed hypocritical if the team and I didn't lead by example and volunteer our time in order to bring this altruistic venture to life. We're always on the lookout for more volunteer Ambassadors and Interns looking to join us on our mission to facilitate many valuable business/personal connections and raise a TON of money for a wide variety of of charities in need. #givingback #volunteerism #communityinterestcompany #whatsyourlegacy

#FUNDRAISING can have a bad rap, but it's simply about connecting people who are interested 💡 with causes that interest them. Let's say it another way to help it sink in 🤔 ... Fundraisers provide #OPPORTUNITIES to make an impact for people who WANT to invest in creating that impact (or provide opportunities for public recognition for people who appreciate being publicly recognized, etc.). And HOW to do this comes down to these three activities: ✅ EDUCATE ✅ ASK ✅ THANK Very few people will invest in potential impact unless you EDUCATE them about: 1️⃣ The Problem and 2️⃣ How You Are Helping Solve the Problem Even fewer people will donate or invest 💰 unless you ASK. And finally, most people will not give again if you don't THANK them quickly and with real appreciation (Hot Tip: It is MUCH less expensive to keep current supporters than to go find new ones, so THANK PEOPLE).
