This is one of the ways I fill my 'community bucket' - by volunteering at the Ottawa Community Foundation, on the board, the Grants Committee and the Impact Investing Committee. If you are not familiar - OCF is your community impact broker, helping to bring together so many parts of Ottawa, to pool together our funds and use that to re-invest in our community. We connect people looking for ways to invest their funds for the good of the community (donors), with local nonprofits/charities (service providers) serving those who can really use that investment (community members or causes). And the causes we support are driven by what's needed and what's important to the people who make up our city - so range from social services to health to education to arts and culture to heritage to environment to animal rights. I love volunteering here because it helps me feel connected to the heartbeat of Ottawa across all of our diversity - from grassroots local community groups to donors and funders to business leaders to policy makers. As individuals we are each plugged into to different parts of our city, geographically or sectorally or demographically. But here, we are all united through our common interest in making our city a better place for everyone. So here's a little window into the amazing work that's happening in our city everyday, thanks to all these different folks coming together, each doing our part, to lift each other up.

Today, we recognize Juneteenth, which commemorates the day in 1865 when the final enslaved people in Galveston, Texas learned that they were free — more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation took effect. At C-Strategies, we’re proud to work with clients who work every day to advance racial equity in their communities and throughout our state through nonprofit work, policy and advocacy, mutual aid and more.

Have you ever heard of a giving circle? It's a group of individuals who come together to pool their resources💰and make collective decisions about how to donate their money to charitable causes. In a word - we get to #AMPLIFY our impact. And.... as an added bonus we get the chance to network and hang out with really awesome professional women, as a member of Denver Women in Business for Good. ➕ as another bonus we get to learn about the truly amazing work that local nonprofits are doing in our community. See 👀 below to click on 🔗 links for the 3 organizations that we learned about last night. 🩷💛💚So that was the meaningful way that I spent my evening last night.... at the intersection of giving back to my community while spending time with talented & successful women. DWB is a local chapter of the amazing national organization called Grapevine. I bet there's a location near you, if this sounds like it would be your thing. Curious if anyone in my network is part of Grapevine, or has had similar experience with giving circles? Share in the comments! ✅ Pro tip: If you typically dislike networking, this is a great way to do it while being part of a greater purpose. #networking #donate #community
