The Ripple Effect of Kindness... Kindness is a language that the deaf can hear and the blind can see. Part of it is #Volunteering which is rooted in acts of kindness that create a ripple effect, touching the lives of those in need. It reminds us that kindness transcends barriers & speaks to the core of humanity. When volunteers witness the impact of their actions on individuals & communities, they become inspired to continue their efforts. Incorporating stories that highlight the transformative power of kindness can amplify the emotional connection between volunteers & your cause. With a #CompassionateHeart and a #GenuineDesire to help others, volunteers give of their #Time, #Energy and #Skills. People who volunteered with businesses & nonprofit organizations became invaluable resources. It mainly shows that volunteer connections have many additional benefits beyond giving back & providing help This is reminding us that.. 📌 The heart of a volunteer is not measured in size, but by the depth of the commitment to make a difference in the lives of others 📌 We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. 📌 I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve. This content is encouraging everyone to find something you're #passionate about and keep #TremendouslyInterested in it. We believe in the power of inspiration to drive positive change that are bound to motivate and engage volunteers. Whether you're a nonprofit organisation, a community group, or an individual looking to make a difference, these powerful words will resonate with your audience and help you create a lasting impact. #Volunteers are not paid not because they are #worthless, but because they are #priceless . So Touching right 👍. In the pursuit of inspiring & engaging volunteers, it's crucial to emphasise the importance of purpose. Volunteers contribute their time, skills, and passion driven by a desire to make a meaningful difference in the world. By aligning your cause with a compelling purpose, you can attract individuals who share your vision and are eager to contribute their efforts. Passion is a driving force behind every successful endeavour.- This is how to ignite individual's passion. Encouraging volunteers to explore their passions and align them with your organisation's mission can lead to a more fulfilling volunteering experience. This serves as a reminder to cultivate an environment that fosters personal growth and provides opportunities for volunteers to explore their interests. By igniting their passion, you'll create a team of motivated individuals dedicated to making a difference. #ShoutOutToAllPeopleWithPriceless❤️ “ #Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart 💓!” My Dear Friends of Top 100 Filipinos on LinkedIn - Please help me share this with your priceless heart. Thank You 😊!

PSA for nonprofits & professionals wishing to grow their fundraising program! Be on the lookout for your copy of this month’s edition of Advancing Philanthropy in the mail (or online later this month) for my article “Get Q’d In: Advance Your Mission By Engaging LGBTQIA+ Donors!” Does your organization know: 👀Where to find LGBTQIA+ donors? 🤝How to involve LGBTQIA+ donors in your mission? 🤑How to ask LGBTQIA+ donors for support? 😇How to steward & cultivate LGBTQIA+ donors? 📈How to elevate and keep LGBTQIA+ donors around for a long time? Because the answers to those questions aren’t taught in standard development practices. The article serves as a starting guide for you to make your fundraising more LGBTQIA+ inclusive and start the journey to advance your mission. If you need more help and resources, Queer For Hire provides LGBTQIA+ consulting & coaching for nonprofits & professionals. 🏳️⚧️🤓🏳️🌈

Disney's new movie, Wish, isn't just bringing the magic they are known for. 🪄 The new movie that was released in November brings awareness to those with disabilities without going through typical storylines that come with this such as overcoming the hardships of having the disability or making it their whole story. Wish allows the character Dahlia to be a major supporting character while seamlessly weaving in her disability. This is called Incidental Disability Representation + we’ve linked a great article about this in our bio! Have you seen Wish? Tell us in the comments!
