Learning construction skills and putting them to use to better the quality of life of Indianapolis residents! #proud #BYTraining #ConstructionTraining

It all adds up. Whether that’s doing a massive project one phase at a time, building a company one job at a time, or getting healthier one choice at a time, eventually it all adds up. Same thing goes in the opposite direction. Like, needing to have that hard conversation but putting it off, wanting to slow down but still saying yes to everything, or wanting to ask for help but pushing through it alone, again. It all adds up. Construction is facing a labor shortage and growing mental health crisis. The two aren’t mutually exclusive. We need 501,000 more workers to fill jobs and meet capacity according to the Associated Builders and Contractors. At the same time, construction workers are four times more likely to end their own lives than people in the general population. This is unacceptable. Let’s be clear, there’s a lot we can’t control in this equation but what we can control, adds up. Educate yourself on learning the signs that someone is struggling, check in twice when you ask someone how they’re doing, and know where to direct someone when they’re brave enough to admit they need help. This is how we show up for each other, this is how we take action as individuals. This is how it all adds up! To create momentum, now through the end of the year Procore Technologies has committed to triple your donation to help raise funds for the mental health charities tackling this crisis in construction. Together, let’s make sure it all adds up for good! Learn more in the shared post from Get Construction Talking below.

Once your house has been deconstructed and the materials donated, we receive a detailed itemized donation receipt listing the items received at the non-profit, which we use to conduct our valuation research. Your appraisal and 8283 Tax Form will arrive 4-8 weeks later, depending on the complexity and/or size of the building and materials. #Deconstruction #Demolition #PersonalPropertyAppraisal

Building a culture of philanthropy is challenging.

Capital projects are visions waiting to take shape. Before a single brick is laid, fundraisers and all internal stakeholders become architects of the donors' imagination... ... We're painting vivid scenes of bustling corridors and buzzing rooms that DON'T yet exist... We have to smell the paint, feel the energy, and see the lives changed by the presence of these structures! All to inspire our prospective donors to invest in a vision. Leveraging creativity and strategic thinking to transform empty lots into vibrant communities, brick by brick and donation... by... donation. ***And, it's not just in the $$££ raised, but in the alignment of values and the enthusiasm of our donors, where the true virtue sits.*** And when the donors can smell the paint too.... That's when the journey begins!

We may be a small engineering firm but we do what we can by supporting various charities that mean the most to us. Commitment and a desire to see change is where our hearts are. #commitmenttogoals #changetheworld #CVLEngineers #YEGengineers #StructuralEngineering #CivilEngineering #StructuralEngineers #CivilEngineers #BuildCoolShit #SmartDesign #WhatTheClientWants #CVL #EngineeringMadeSimple

I am reminded of the saying 'waste is a verb, not a noun.' The environmental and social benefits of this are immeasurable - but they are quantifiable. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle - also requires 'Rethinking' - how can this be used? By whom? Can it be useful in it's current form? Modified? Or recycled into new products. Landfill should be the last resort. #circularity #waste Installnet

📣Calling all non-profit warriors! Perhaps you're wondering how to bring your fund-raising campaigns to life? Let this inspiring story from West Virginia guide you! Buffalo Creek Railroad took forward a noble mission to save a historic Alco locomotive.

Make your backers see your cause isn't just about numbers or statistics. It's about preserving stories, nurturing a connection to our past, and aid in envisioning our future.✨ Your non-profit might face similar challenges.

ENGINEERS - we are in a FINANCIAL CRISIS putting our support for you at risk 🆘 ❌ Since the IET stopped collecting donations for us with membership renewals in September 2023, we have lost 35,000 donations which help fund our life-changing support. 👥 This means around 992 grants for struggling engineering families will be out of our budget – grants that help them pay their rent or mortgage, put food on the table, access mental health support, and get urgent medical care. 🤝 In 2022-23, donations from people like you helped us support more engineering families through life's challenges than ever before. That's why we’re asking you to support us through our own. 🙏 We're looking for 14,160 people in our community to donate just £25 a year to help us continue providing our life-changing support. If you can, please make a donation today: https://lnkd.in/evZxnqfn Listen to our Trustee and Honorary Treasurer Gareth Price’s statement ⬇ SHARE this post to help us spread the word ♻ Alan Watts / Alison Lanchester / Andy Rogers CEng FIET / Dolores Byrne / Joe Dunn / John Gleeson / Virginia Hodge / Wolf Byttner #Engineering #Engineers #Donate #Fundraising #Charity #IET #FinancialCrisis #Funding
