Are you looking for a way to make a difference within our community? You can with Give500.   With 50 donations already pledged, we're well on our way to reaching this year's Give500 goal of 100 donors before donations close on 30 June. 
 
 Give500 is an easy way to make a positive local impact. It's simple: the more $500 donations we receive, the greater our impact will be, supporting community projects with much-needed grant funding. Since 2021, your donations have helped people experiencing homelessness, connect local youth with educational and developmental programs, promote resilience within the community, and so much more.

How Give500 works: ➡️ Individuals, families, groups and businesses make a $500 donation to the Give500 campaign, with donations pooled to fund local community programs addressing areas of need across the Border region. ➡️ With every $500 donation, donors receive 1 vote to determine the annual major grant winner and two runners up. ➡️ As the number of Give500 donors grows, the impact of the campaign grows. Donations stay local, benefit local people and make a tangible difference now and into the future. There's less than a month left to donate in 2024, so grab your family, friends, workmates or clubmates, and make your Give500 donation today.

Donate today and help us reach our target of 100 donors!  👇🏼👇🏼 https://lnkd.in/g5nz-KgJ Proudly support by Albury Business Connect.

This is a really simple way for a local businesses to support the community that supports us. 1. It makes business sense as a tax deductible donation. You can donate $500 or you can donate in 'lots' of $500 (eg, $1,000, $1,500, etc). It's almost EOFY - time to make a donation now! 2. It makes community sense - A rising tide lifts all boats. Give500 helps more LOCAL organisations deliver vital services in our region where it's most needed. And this creates a ripple effect. When we support each other, we’re creating a successful community - the benefits flow in every direction. 3. It makes emotional sense - I can't explain how much you'll get the warm and fuzzies and feel really, really good about making a difference.

In the heart of our bustling cities and quiet towns, there are individuals who face the daily challenge of hunger, not by choice, but by circumstance. These are our neighbors, our fellow community members, who often go unnoticed as they silently struggle with homelessness. Today, we have an opportunity to make a tangible difference, to extend a hand of kindness, and to share a meal where it's needed most. Why Donate? Humanity: Every donation brings warmth, nourishment, and hope to someone facing the cold, harsh realities of life without a home. Community: By supporting the homeless, we strengthen the fabric of our community, fostering an environment where every individual feels valued. Impact: A small donation can provide multiple meals, ensuring that more people can eat today and sleep with a full stomach tonight. How You Can Help: Donate via Cash App: Use the handle $TWAUORG. Every dollar you send goes directly toward purchasing food for those in need. Spread the Word: Share our mission on your social platforms. Awareness leads to action, and your voice can inspire others to give. What Your Donation Does: $5 can provide a hearty sandwich and a drink. $10 can offer a hot meal, bringing comfort to someone on a chilly night. $20 can support a family, giving them a moment of relief from their daily struggles. Let's join hands in this simple yet profound act of charity. Your donation, no matter the size, lights a spark of hope in someone's life. Together, we can ensure that no one in our community goes to bed hungry. Thank you for your generosity. Together, we can make a difference, one meal at a time.

🌟Myth: Donating to Homelessness Charities Doesn’t Make a Difference 🌟Reality: Every contribution counts. Your support helps us provide vital identification documents that open doors to housing, employment, and a fresh start for those in need. Without these essential IDs, many individuals remain stuck in a cycle of homelessness, unable to access the services that can change their lives. In fact, just $12 gets a state ID in the hands of someone looking to end their homelessness! At Homeless ID Project, we see the impact of every donation firsthand. Each dollar goes toward helping someone take that critical first step toward stability and independence. Want to make a difference? Your donation can help us continue this life-changing work. Donate Today: HIDP.org and click ‘Donate’ or text hidp to 44321. Let’s work together to give everyone the opportunity for a fresh start. ❤️ #EndHomelessness #HomelessIDProject #EveryDonationCounts #SupportChange #MakeADifference

While we are all doing our best to maintain our work-life balance and keep our personal lives personal, I think it is important to remember that the average American will spend about 1/3 of their life at work. Given that fact, I think there is a lot to be said about organizations that contribute to their employees volunteering and donation efforts which is why I figured I would share my annual fundraising efforts here with my network. In 2018, I lost my older brother, Stephen, to suicide. Since that day, I have been doing what I can to share resources, provide support and speak about the importance of Suicide Prevention and the work of American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. A donation of $50 can provide suicide prevention resources to 25 people. When most organizations match their employeess' donation activity, I think it truly is crucial to share this message here with my network. While I ask you to donate, I am also acutely aware that not everyone is in a position to donate at this time. Please consider sharing within your own networks. Simply speaking about suicide prevention and letting those around you know that it is a cause you care about can truly and genuinely save someone's life. Talk Saves Lives!

In a world where so many foster youth feel unseen and vulnerable, your kindness can be the light that guides them out of the shadows. The impact of a small act whether it’s a donation, a kind word, or a moment of support can transform a life in ways we can’t always measure. But we know that every act of kindness counts. For youth vulnerable to trafficking, kindness is a beacon of hope. When you choose to support RAISE THE ROOF, you are doing so much more than donating money. You’re offering these young people the opportunity to rebuild their lives, to heal from trauma, and to find safety in a world that often leaves them behind. Your support provides not just shelter, but stability, love, and the chance to grow in a nurturing environment. Without a safe place, these vulnerable youth are easy targets for traffickers. But with your help, we can change that. Together, we can provide homes where these youth feel seen, heard, and valued. No act of kindness is too small. When we come together to support these young lives, we can create lasting change. Let’s be the reason they have the hope to dream again, the strength to heal, and the opportunity to build a brighter future. ➡️ Click the link below or in bio to donate gofund.me/8e690097 #GivingTuesday #RAISEtheRoof #MagdalenasDaughters #HopeForYouth #EndHumanTrafficking #Fosteryouth #Humantrafficking #Nonprofit
