It's National Philanthropy Day! While we can all agree that every day should be National Philanthropy Day, this is a great day to reflect on charity. Below are a few ideas: 1. Imagine a world without charities. No charities helping animals, children, curing diseases, taking care of people in difficult circumstances. Take a minute on National Philanthropy Day to thank yourself for supporting causes you care about in the past – and plan what you can do for them in the future. 2. Sit down and write out the causes and the charities you support and why you choose to support them. This can be a powerful reminder of the difference you are making to these great causes!! 3. Write down a few ideas for how you can support these charities this week, this month and in the future. Get excited about your philanthropy!!

I love people that do cool sh*t, especially when it’s not just a money making idea! Check out my friend's new nonprofit, After Party! After Party repurposes wedding & event florals to bring joy to shelters, hospitals, hospice, & more. Let's help reduce waste & spread love! If you have any vases or containers to donate, please reach out to Nora McCormack! Here's to supporting this amazing initiative! 🌺💐🥀🪻🪷🌹🌸 ********************************** “HI FRIENDS! I don't think I've mentioned it here yet, but for the next phase of my ongoing midlife crisis, I have started a nonprofit! World, meet After Party! After Party is a 501c3 that repurposes wedding & event florals to be enjoyed at shelters, hospitals, hospice, & other like organizations. You know where all of those flowers end up after weddings? In the trash. After 17 years in the wedding industry, I've become tired of seeing that amount of waste so I figured I'd try to do something about it! Inquiries have been coming in pretty consistently, which is promising! With that, I am asking for vase/vessel donations so that I can keep costs down. Jars (clean spaghetti sauce jars, pickle, mason, any & all!), old vases, & glass containers that can be used as bedside vases would be SO wonderful! If you are able to collect, I would be happy to pick up! Other items that I will gladly accept: 5 gallon buckets, milk crates, glass racks, & plastic totes. The website is still under construction, but if you felt compelled to donate (tax deductible donations! Huzzah!), please follow the link below. https://lnkd.in/eZc5wA6C Thank you for supporting this next leg of my ongoing psychological break-- I hope it's as successful as the last one! 🤣🥾🏕”

Chief Program Officer at Charity Navigator | Nonprofit Executive and Champion | Passionate about Impact
As you know, I work for @CharityNav, and we’ve been hearing reports from non-profits in our network that charitable giving is down 20-30% from last year. There are so many causes that need support, from poverty to global health to climate issues. If you haven’t already, consider making a year-end donation through our Giving Basket to help charities in our community close this donation gap! https://bit.ly/41DouDC If you need some giving ideas, please check out our recommended charities lists. https://lnkd.in/gUPbTMum I donated this year to the Global Poverty https://lnkd.in/ggRcq4uN and the Climate Change Lists https://lnkd.in/gYhhKJkt.

Consultant at Sage Wealth Management Limited, Senior Partner Practice of St. James's Place Wealth Management
This simple step helps make a huge difference in the lives of those who need it most
Our clients have helped to raise a milestone £1million for the SJP Charitable Foundation by switching to paperless correspondence. With every switch we donate £5 to the Charitable Foundation, helping to reduce our environmental impact whilst funding valuable community causes across the UK and overseas. This means that charities like Jamie’s Farm, who run a therapeutic programme centred around farming, family, and therapy to help young people thrive academically, socially and emotionally at school, can continue making a positive impact. Thank you to all SJP clients who have made the switch – see the difference it’s made for charities like Jamie’s Farm below: https://ow.ly/uEOR50RRoFG

The Godfather of Las Vegas - Executive Recruiting for Casinos/Gaming and High Tech (By Referral Only Please)
Tis the Season: The Godfather on Charity - Founded my executive recruiting company 20 years ago on the premise of donating a portion of each executive placement to charity. This quarter we are focused on Gigi’s Playhouse, Catholic Charities, Make-A-Wish and Noah's Animal House. Given the number of cold calls and "asks" this holiday season, here are my views on charity. First, "To whom much is given...much is required." Luke 12:48. Or as my Dad used to say, "Those that take the elevator to the top have an obligation to send it back down for everyone else." The happiest people are the givers, not the takers. Second, my primary focus is charity requests from my clients. Why? Because these are the companies and executives that have supported my business for 20 years. If nothing else, I’m the most loyal person you have ever met. That does not mean the other 3,500 registered non-profits are not worthy. I'm sure they are wonderful; however my focus is about a dozen national and local charities where I feel my financial support has an impact. Third, my focus is on charities organizations that support children and animals. Why? Because they did not pick their parents. You have to go with what touches your heart. Wishing you and yours the best holiday season ever. God bless!

What's the difference between a public charity and a private foundation? 🤔 Public charities have an active program of fundraising and receive contributions from many sources. Some examples of public charities include churches, schools and hospitals. 🏥 Private foundations typically have a single major source of funding, like a family or company. Armanino's private foundation, which receives donations and then gives grants and makes contributions to other charitable organizations, is a prime example. ✍🏽 If you’re ready to begin your journey into philanthropy, our latest article can help guide you and help ensure your donations are impactful: https://ow.ly/Qfqn50SU9Lj #Philanthropy #Charity #CharitableGiving #Taxes
