Peat, soils apparently accumulate at 1mm per year. With that calculation it means that 1m of peat took approximately 1000 years to form. Peat is such an essential part of the ecosystem that the UK government has introduced a ban on the sale of bagged peat compost, which is popular very popular for container gardens due to its excellence water retention properties. The ban on all peat-based gardening products will be expected to take effect by 2030. It's time to look for sustainable alternatives and protect this essential resource.

I've been in a bit of a startup bubble 🙈 the last few years, so last night it was refreshing to be immersed in a new community, filled with fresh faces and ideas (courtesy of Queensland Gives by Queensland Community Foundation). There's something special about being in a room surrounded by people who selflessly dedicate so much of their time and energy to helping support others and the environment. I've been thinking a lot recently about where there are potential intersections between the approach and focus of #NFPs and the world of #startups and #venturecapital. While many would probably see them as 'chalk and cheese' (one focused on financial returns at all costs, while the other forgoes financial gain altogether), they share quite a few common traits: 1️⃣ Commonly inspired by a personal experience of the founder 2️⃣ A vision for a better way/ better future and a fierce passion for making this change while others might be ok with the status quo 3️⃣ Require entrepreneurial spirit and smarts to start and survive I think these common traits make them ripe for more collaboration and sharing of insights, yet it's quite rare to see Australian tech startups partnering meaningfully with not-for-profits who share similar goals or values. Why is this? 🤔 I'd love to know more about examples of this happening. If exploring how the NFP/ philanthropy world can better partner and intersect with the startup/ VC world tickles your fancy, I'd love to hear from you! 💌

Yea it’s a five minute video, who watches those anymore! However, if you followed us over the course of Serve Week 2024 (The Ocho) this is an awesome wrap up and great work by the team. We try and use LinkedIn to open a window into our culture. And while Foundry Commercial isn’t perfect and we will always have work to do in pursuit of our standards, I think this is one of the things we get really right. We are a services company and spending time with these amazing organizations, which we encourage you to check out and support, reminds us what true service looks like. It is a week where we try to give back and we always end up getting so much more than we give. Great job Lauren and the entire Serve Week support team. #foundrycommercial #itspersonal #theocho #serveweek2024

The cleanup and tear-down operations of the NFL Draft has delivered unexpected benefits to local nonprofits. Materials such as carpeting, wood, and the very stairs that NFL hopefuls ascended as their names were called are finding a second life. DETROIT DOG RESCUE is at the forefront of this initiative, cleverly repurposing these elements to build a new spay and neuter clinic on Detroit's east side. The new clinic will provide essential services such as free spaying and neutering to help manage and support the local dog population. Beyond the direct benefits to DDR, this effort is setting a precedent for sustainability and community support. The materials salvaged from the NFL Draft are also being distributed to other nonprofits in the area, helping them enhance their facilities and expand their services. The repurposing of NFL Draft materials shows how the legacy of such events can continue to support and enrich the local community long after the crowds have gone home.
