Exciting news in the philanthropy world! Renowned entrepreneur Dick Smith has made a generous commitment to donate his $300 energy rebate announced in the Federal Budget this week to the Salvation Army, urging fellow millionaires to follow suit. Dick Smith's message is clear and inspiring: "Not all of us need that money. There are millions of Australians that are doing OK. Donate the money to an important charity and that means the money won't be wasted." In a time where every little bit helps, this gesture of kindness demonstrates a powerful way to make a significant impact. This act of generosity can serve as a reminder of the impact we can have when we redirect resources to where they are most needed. So many Australian families, including kinship and foster care households face significant financial challenges daily. For carers, additional financial support really does go a long way, grants for the purchase of items for the children and young people in their care can mean the world, especially when the cost of living is so high. Through our fundraising at OzChild we can help with the costs of tutoring, counselling, car seats, and even prescription glasses for kids – practical items that make caring a little bit easier. But we can’t do that alone. No not-for-profit organisation can, we rely on the generosity of others to make it possible for us to help lighten the load for families. Let’s join forces to make a difference! I encourage everyone who can, to consider this impactful choice. Whether it’s a donation to the Salvation Army, OzChild or another charity close to your heart, let’s turn our rebates into a collective effort for good. #Philanthropy #SocialImpact #GivingBack #CommunitySupport

October 6, 2024 is the NYC Chapter Out of Darkness Walk. It will start the NYC Seaport Pier 16 & 17 in the Seaport District. The event opens at 10AM. The walk starts at 11:30AM Many many of you helped last year with donations to my fund raising. I'm asking again if you can help prevent a suicide and support research into suicide. Please donate what you can. Did you know? The construction industry has one of the highest suicide rates among professions — with the rate among male construction workers 75% higher than men in the general population. 6,000 construction workers died by suicide in 2022 and increase from 2021.

📢 **We’re Making an Impact Beyond the Local Community!** 🌍 Did you know that we receive mail and phone calls from residents in local prisons, requesting our services before they’re even released? These individuals are eager to start their journey toward a better future, and they trust Erika’s Closet to help them transition back into the community successfully. 💪 This is why your support is crucial! Your donations enable us to continue this vital work—not just welcoming individuals upon release, but also preparing them for the transition long before they step out. Together, we can provide the tools, resources, and hope they need to rebuild their lives. 🙏 Please consider donating to Erika’s Closet or other community organizations committed to supporting these individuals. With your help, we can ensure that everyone has a chance to thrive. -Cashapp: $erikasclosetclt -paypal.me/ErikasclosetNC -Venmo: @Erikas-Closet https://lnkd.in/e_QryB-i #CommunitySupport #ReentryPrograms #DonateNow #ErikasCloset #SecondChances

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!
