Watch this short clip from Sunrise Banks on how you can help families in need of extra support this Holiday season!

Flipping it forward is in our DNA

So many business owners could get behind a project such as this. These developments going up everywhere in Truro, but I have not heard anything about affordable housing in the mix. There are so many of our families, friends and neighbours are homeless with not enough beds. Folks don't need a great big space...only big enough for a bed, small kitchen area and a bathroom with a sink, toilet and upright shower. This would get people out of the cold and off the street for the winter. Have the Town donate some land for a project, donations of materials to build from local businesses, volunteers to come together with their skills. tools and the willingness to help...you never know, you might be helping a friend who is hitting rock bottom. Think about this...it can be done if everyone brings whatever the can to help. Don't have another cold winter watching folks sleeping on benches or behind buildings...the people of Truro are better than that.

#donoradvisedfunds funds (#DAFs) and the East Bay Community Foundation mission-based funds are a great way to give to your local community. Consider making an online cash gift if you want it to count towards possible 2023 tax deduction. Otherwise, consider your philanthropy budget for 2024 and start preparing in January - that way you can fund your favorite cause areas in a steady manner throughout 2024 without having to wait until year-end. A #philanthropy budget is a great way to stay on target with your mission-based interests & cause areas versus responding to “asks” throughout the year and realizing you might have budget shortfall for areas you personally care about. #donoradvisedfunds #donors #taxdeductions #missiondriven

In today's era of remarkable medical breakthroughs, the act of blood donation remains a fundamental yet impactful gesture. It's a universal act of kindness that transcends cultural, economic, and social barriers, with an immeasurable impact on lives. Alarmingly, only a fraction of those eligible to donate blood do so, despite the widespread ability to contribute. At the core of blood donation lies empathy. Each donation, capable of saving up to three lives, plays a crucial role in healthcare; Hospitals constantly face the challenge of meeting the blood demand for surgeries, chronic illnesses, trauma treatments, and more. Unfortunately, the blood supply often struggles to keep pace with this demand, creating life-threatening gaps. The donation process itself is simple, safe, and relatively quick, yet it yields long-lasting benefits. A single pint of blood can be separated into various components, each serving unique and critical medical needs. Understanding the scale of blood necessity in our community is vital and daily requirements can reach hundreds of units, and this demand can only be met through regular contributions from a diverse group of blood donors. Our organization, CCBC, facilitates blood donations through five permanent donor centers and numerous mobile drives in the valley, ensuring convenience and accessibility for all potential donors. In conclusion, blood donation is not just a noble act; it's a powerful expression of empathy and community service. The effort required from each donor is minimal, yet the value it brings to recipients and the community is immense. By dispelling misconceptions and highlighting the urgent need for donations, we aim to inspire more individuals to join this life-saving mission. We urge everyone to take action: donate blood, save lives, and be an integral part of a community that cherishes the value of every life. Please see the below clip where Central California Blood Center's CEO Christopher Staub discusses the urgent need for blood donations.

Looking forward to speaking at the upcoming @ACEC New York 2024 Winter Conference January 28-30th at Albany Capital Center (https://lnkd.in/e7nTkYNa). Hope you can join Robert Brewer, Phillip Ross, Michael Vardaro, Paul Boyce and me for a lively discussion about "What You Need to Know About ESOPs for Engineers." We’ll be helping engineering firms take advantage of the new law in New York State that allows ESOPs to own up to and including 100% of a firm. We will cover: 1) how an ESOP can help you meet your goals in a) succession, b) recruitment, c) retention – and d) enhancing the long term sustainability of a firm; 2) what makes a good ESOP candidate; 3) what are the tax benefits you keep hearing about for the company and the sellers; 4) how to structure and finance an ESOP transaction; and 5) related legal issues. Plenty of time for Q&A – my favorite – both during and following the session.
