🔍 Nonprofit leaders, do you know what 'Restricted Funds' are? These are donations designated by donors for specific purposes, like a particular project or program. These funds must be used strictly according to the donor's instructions, ensuring their intentions are honored. Properly managing restricted funds not only maintains donor trust but also enhances the impact of your mission by channeling resources exactly where they are needed. Example: Imagine a nonprofit organization called "Green Earth," which focuses on environmental conservation. Green Earth receives a donation of $50,000 from a local foundation, but the foundation specifies that this money must be used exclusively for planting trees in urban areas. This $50,000 is considered restricted funds because it can only be used for the tree-planting project and not for any other expenses like office supplies, salaries, or other conservation projects. Green Earth must track this donation separately in their accounting records and report back to the foundation on how the funds were spent to ensure compliance with the donor's restrictions. 👉 Follow us for more nonprofit tips and insights. #NonprofitTips #NonprofitLeaders #Charity #NonprofitManagement

Happy International Day of Charity! Today, we honour the remarkable contributions of charities and nonprofits that make our communities stronger and more resilient. Their tireless efforts touch lives in countless ways, from offering hope and healing to building a brighter future for all. Here’s how some charities are making a difference: 🏠 Building Strong Foundations: Charities like Habitat for Humanity Canada are empowering families by providing them with safe, stable homes. A place to call their own opens doors to endless opportunities. 🌱 Guardians of Our Planet: Environmental organizations like WWF-Canada are on the frontlines of conservation, ensuring our natural world thrives for generations to come. 🤗 Strengthening Communities: Local charities like United Way Centraide Canada create bonds that bring people together, nurturing a sense of unity and support across neighbourhoods. ❤️ Transforming Lives: Charities like Casey House provide critical care and compassion, changing lives one healing step at a time. Today, let's take a moment to recognize these inspiring efforts and consider how we can contribute—be it through time, donations, or advocacy. Together, we can amplify the impact and make a lasting difference. #NationalCharityDay #SupportNonprofits #CommunityFirst

I am really excited about Severn River Association's #oysterrestoration program this summer! It's kicking off next month in three big ways: 1) We are putting in 10 MILLION #oysters on our #restoration reef at Traces Hollow 2a with the help of our partners Oyster Recovery Partnership -- and with YOUR HELP (see the match grant alert below): https://lnkd.in/g9UgCMY7 2) Our #MarylandersGrowOysters program participants will be planting their home-grown oysters on a different area of Traces Hollow starting June 1. SRA has the largest MGO program with over 300 households growing oysters in cages off of docks/piers for nine months while the spat on shell grow big and strong enough for planting on a #reef. 3) With our boat Sea Girl finally repaired and back in the water, we will be fitting her with a newly designed instrument. Late this summer that instrument will pump oyster #larvae onto yet another #restorationreef for 'direct setting', a new technique that may be able to supplement (but not supplant) our other restoration techniques. This is thanks to a grant from Chesapeake Bay Trust and the Chesapeake Oyster Alliance. #ConnectProtectRestore #OysterRestoration #SevernRiver #EnvironmentalConservation #OysterReef #MarineConservation #SustainableFuture #EcoFriendly #CommunityImpact #MarylandersGrowOysters #ReefRestoration #SpatOnShell #OysterRecovery #HealthyEcosystems #SupportLocal #NonProfit #ChesapeakeBay #ChesapeakeOysters #OceanHealth #AquaticLife #ConservationEfforts #SeaGirl #InnovationInRestoration #OysterLarvae #RestorationTechniques
MATCH GRANT ALERT! SRA supporter Doug Legum, the founders of our oyster program-board member Ted Delaplaine and former board member Bob Whitcomb-along with board member Jeffrey Schomig are offering to match #GreenGive donations up to $22,000. Our goal this year is $47,000 which would fully fund our large-scale #oysterrestoration planting. We can’t meet this #matchchallenge without YOU! Please help us plant 10 Million spat-on-shell oysters on Traces Hollow 2a sanctuary reef this year to further our vision of a Thriving Severn River by 2050. Early giving is underway. You can be a donor to oyster restoration anytime now through June 5th. https://lnkd.in/gZgNV68E #oysters #restoration #severnrivermd #environmentalrestoration #river #estuary #support #waterquality #MATCHGRANTALERT #GreenGive #OysterRestoration #SaveTheBay #SevernRiver #EnvironmentalConservation #Fundraising #MatchChallenge #DonateNow #RestoreOurWaters #MarineConservation #CleanWater #SustainableFuture #EcoFriendly #SupportLocal #NonProfit #CommunityImpact #HealthyEcosystems #OysterReef #ThrivingSevern2050

Our social enterprise, ecoDynamics Nursery 🌱 Five years ago, we transformed our Victorian wholesale nursery into ecoDynamics Nursery - a hub of sustainability and community impact. Committed to eco-friendly practices and community education, we are dedicated to creating greener futures. At ecoDynamics, we make a significant impact through our Grassroots Impact Program by donating 50% of our Nursery profit to Greening the West. Our contributions extend beyond urban greening to combat climate change and promote sustainability. To date, we have donated over 60,000 trees and provided $20,000 in mulch site preparation throughout Melbourne's western suburbs. We're taking our impact even further by making a submission for the entire ecoDynamics Group to become a B Corp. Exciting times - stay tuned.

🍃 18 months on from becoming Belmont Estate’s first corporate partner, Maria Connolly, head of future energy and real estate at TLT, sat down with Belmont estate manager Gil Martin, to talk about: - the Belmont mission - the importance of shared values and collective action in successful business partnerships - and why a reconnection to nature is vital in the race against climate breakdown. We’re really proud to play our part in Belmont’s work to help reconnect communities with nature through their rewetting and rewilding projects, and its free, inspirational nature-based education programmes for families, schools, and charities.

The Climate Crisis is at its peak and we, as individuals and institutions are accountable in taking various steps to counter it. Though there is a need and we are responsible, the lack of opportunities led to neglecting the issue. So, here is a way you as a company/individual can have your role actively played. Give a Tree is a plantation sponsorship initiative by Thuvakkam through which a medium is provided a chance to make our world a better place by planting & nurturing a tree. The initiative is completely funded where the funding is collected and a plantation drive is organized. Through the Give a Tree initiative, Thuvakkam is collecting donations/funds to plant trees. The planted trees are maintained for 2 years until they become self-sustainable. We are providing opportunities to the community to plant trees and witness their growth over time.
