Homes For Heroes Foundation’s Post

Learnings from Six Peaks. On the weekend I completed the Six Peaks in One Day Challenge to raise money for the Humpty Dumpty Foundation to put life saving equipment for children into hospitals in Australia. Organised superbly by Reed & Co. Estate Agents The event raised over $70,000, and we personally raised just under $8,000. We also managed to climb over 1500m elevation, cover close to 20km, burn about 20,000 kilojoules. What are the learnings? 1. Training matters. Preparation is critical in all things. 2. Painful moments will come, and the skill is being able to persevere and keep moving. When sh#t gets real, grit gets you through. 3. Community starts with those we know and how we can support each other - heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to this great cause. Community also means doing things for others you don't know and will most likely never meet. 'Just because we can' is a great feeling. 4. Team matters when we are in our uncomfortable zones - good things happen when the stretch is from the collective. Heartfelt thanks to all those who supported the cause.

Thrilled to share the launch of our new UHNW Philanthropy Report! What makes this even more special are the insightful remarks from my colleagues, echoing patterns we're witnessing across our global network of philanthropic clients. Do you agree? Here's a glimpse: 🔍 "In recent years, securing substantial gifts from high net worth individuals has proven more difficult. Issues such as donor fatigue present complex challenges within the philanthropic landscape." – Dustin Kiernan 🌱 "Development offices are having to really become proactive, rather than reactive, in how they approach fundraising opportunities." – Jacqui Ebeling 💡 "The younger wealthy generation views philanthropy differently to its older peers but, for pretty much everyone, philanthropy is now much more impact driven." – Matt Thompson 🌍 "A lot of organizations have traditionally relied on their local market for their major donors … but this is changing as they look to new markets for additional opportunities." – Thomas Banza These insights are not just observations; they're guiding lights shaping our strategies to serve this community with meaningful impact.

Financial Aid for Veterans—Is It Enough? Nonprofits are essential in supporting Veterans, but most financial aid programs have narrow eligibility criteria, often only helping those in dire situations. Why are we waiting until Veterans are on the brink of homelessness or crisis to offer help? To make a real difference, we need to shift our focus to prevention, providing aid before it becomes an emergency. #VeteranSupport #Nonprofits #FinancialAid

For years, the not-for-profit sector has lacked a clear global accounting framework, leaving organizations to follow local accounting principles that vary by jurisdiction. This inconsistency has posed challenges for transparency and accountability. That’s why I’m excited about the incredible progress being made by IFR4NPO in developing the International Non-Profit Accounting Guidance (INPAG), which is set to launch in 2025. Even more encouraging is the active involvement of key donors like The Global Fund, USAID, and Global Affairs Canada | Affaires mondiales Canada in shaping this globally recognized standard. Their support underscores the importance of unifying financial reporting across the sector. This is a game-changer for NPOs worldwide! The adoption of INPAG will not only standardize reporting but also strengthen donor trust and improve accountability—two critical pillars for sustainability in the sector. The future of financial reporting for NPOs is bright, and I can't wait to see how this guidance transforms the way we work. #ExcitingTimesAhead #INPAG #FinancialReporting
