British Heart Foundation’s Post

Very interesting discussion with Conor Fitzgerald yesterday about this data - none of which is revelatory - but where do we go from here in #artsandculture? It's easy to write off the success of hospitals and universities as being more "naturally" the recipients of #charity. Respectfully, I disagree. Our hospitals and universities work at this, and they work at this hard. As an active member of Canadian Association of Gift Planners (CAGP) I'm in the room to see not just how the sausage gets made, but how certain organizations have been very successful at raising #donations via various funding models. ...and guess what? They're not all hospitals and universities. The National Ballet of Canada, Royal Ontario Museum are both organizations that have taken the ball of #plannedgiving and ran with it (shout-out to Richard J. Lefebvre, CFRE and Janice L. Correa respectively). Not every arts org has the resources or staff of a National Ballet or ROM, of course, but how can we learn from our successful peers in a scalable way? Here's a few thoughts I have that can be implemented by any arts org: 1. Have you educated your donors on #taxefficient ways of giving? Let's assume you don't have the resources to set up security donations directly, do your donors know they can use an intermediary like CanadaHelps? 2. Are you engaging not just the donor, but the donor's *advisors* when discussing transformational gifts? They may also be key centres of influence for future donors. (psst, as one of those people, yes, I do want to be welcomed to the table) 3. Have you ever had the talk of a #legacygift with a donor? Not for the "big cheque" years from now... but are you aware the data shows legacy donors are MORE likely to increase their yearly giving? ...and most importantly, are your leadership and board aware of this? Hospitals and universities are not our enemies, but their successes in these areas can be our models in the #arts to have better, stronger, and more supportive donor relations. #philanthropy #givingback #donors #fundraising

“For every like, I’ll donate a pound for good …” This is on behalf of the young people that I am truly inspired by. They say that you have power in your network and that every small action makes a difference... well, here it goes… This year, 50 young people from Sunnah Trust, are on a journey of leadership and personal development: - developing their key skills such as communication and public speaking - understanding the importance of taking responsibility and serving others - ensuring they have good etiquette and manners in everything they do (arabic: adab) - understanding the importance of building trust (arabic: amanah) - and always acting with pure and good intentions (arabic: niyaah) 💙 The young people are on a mission to utilise their skills and fundraise in memory of a 15 year old student, Umarah, who passed away two years ago. 👏 Their dedication is incredible and in just two weeks, they've raised an astonishing £10,000! They have organised everything from street bake sales to community car washes. They will continue their efforts at a Charity Fun Day at East London Mosque on Sunday 25 February. For every like this post receives in the next week, I'll donate a pound, demonstrating the positive impact social media platforms can have on society.   Campaign link: https://lnkd.in/ejDThMkA So, I kindly ask you to: 1) take a moment to read about Umarah’s story ^ 2) show your support with a like 👍 3) tag at least one person who will also 'like' the campaign Let's empower the next generation of change-makers together! #socialgood #socialimpact #youthleadership #communityengagement #linkedinforgood #techforgood #charity #fundraising #community #youngpeople #youngleaders #leadership

𝐈𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 ₹7-8 𝐥𝐚𝐤𝐡𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞, Where everyone is surrounded by uncertainty and watching lives unravel due to a global pandemic. It was a time of fear, isolation, and hardship but also a time for action. During the height of COVID-19, everything changed. Hotels turned away laborers without vaccination certificates, leaving them jobless and hopeless. As KEMA Treasurer at that time, I saw this crisis firsthand. Our President and Event Head, Sucheta Shekhar, came forward with a bold idea. Together, we organized an online concert to raise funds for those in desperate need. What started as a spark of hope raised over ₹7-8 lakhs. The concert was made possible by the incredible artists who performed for free, including Ricky Kej, Kavita Krishnamurti, Mysore Manjunath, Pravin Godkhindi, Jayanthi Kumaresh, and more. The funds supported migrant laborers, struggling artists, and event staff facing mounting medical expenses. You might ask if fear held us back. Yes, it did, but the urge to help outweighed it. We never know when our time will come, so I’d rather act than stand by. If you share the same belief, let’s connect. Together, we can create a lasting impact. #community #charity #leadership #COVID19 #EventManagement
