Northumberland Wildlife Trust’s Post

🌳♻️If you're looking for a simple, tax-efficient way to support our reforestation and wildlife protection community-based programs, then a donor-advised fund (DAF) might be the perfect solution. When you contribute to a DAF, you can receive an immediate tax deduction and recommend donations to support environmental causes like ours whenever you're ready. Your generosity can take many forms! Consider donating stocks or making qualified charitable distributions for a tax-deductible way to support our mission. Some other assests you can donate are: cash, real estate, private assets and other tangible personal property. 🌏📜 Note that it may take time to process, especially for non-cash gifts. Non-cash gifts are typically valued at their fair market value on the day the charity receives them. You can deduct this amount on your taxes. Once a donation is made, it cannot be cancelled. Explore these giving options and help us protect biodiversity and promote community conservation. 🐅🐘 #communityconservation #environmentalconservation #makeadifference #nonprofit #givingback #greenliving #charity #donate #philanthropy #daf #donoradvisedfund #taxbenefits #protectourplanet

Green People UK beautifully demonstrates how purpose-driven businesses can create lasting impact by giving back. Donating over £130,000 in three years to incredible causes like the World Land Trust, Marine Conservation Society, and The Ehlers-Danlos Support UK highlights their commitment to making a difference beyond their products.  By contributing 10% of their net profits and engaging customers through initiatives like The Green Beauty Club, they inspire a deeper connection between sustainable beauty and global causes. This is a shining example of how businesses can align profitability with philanthropy.  For purpose-driven organizations, initiatives like these show the power of integrating social impact into business models.

Fundraising is taking a hit. We hear it over and over again. Guess what? Some organizations are thriving! “To see this all this year when others have declining donations has been nothing short of amazing to me.” It's your choice: to flit from one activity to the next...or to invest in a strong Ask+Thank+Report+Repeat model. One that actually, you know, WORKS! New on the blog: https://lnkd.in/eZE9H9WC #nonprofit #fundraising #charity

"Why do some people donate to the same cause year after year?" This question kept me up at night when I was researching nonprofit funding models. Then I discovered the 'Heartfelt Connector' approach, and everything clicked. Imagine this: A mother whose child survived cancer becomes a lifetime donor to pediatric research. A pet owner whose rescue dog changed their life supports animal shelters monthly. An environmentalist who witnessed local wildlife restoration donates to conservation efforts. This is the Heartfelt Connector model in action. It's not just fundraising—it's relationship building at scale. The magic formula? - A cause that touches many lives - Clear, emotional storytelling - Easy ways to contribute - Regular impact updates - Organizations like the American Heart Association don't just ask for donations—they create a community of supporters who see themselves in every success story. The results speak for themselves: - Up to 80% funding from individual donors - High donor retention rates - Sustainable growth But here's what most people miss: This model isn't about having the most heart-wrenching story. It's about creating genuine connections between your cause and your community. Question for my nonprofit leaders: How are you building these emotional bridges with your supporters?

🚨#AllHatAndNoCattle (aka #FireDrillFundraising)💥 (Post 2 of 5 - search hashtag firedrillfundraising to see previous posts) Fire drill fundraising is an appeal that is high on urgency and emotion with little to no substance. My heart sinks when I see charity leaders resort to the tactic because it erodes trust and relationships with givers. Are there times it is necessary? Sure, but you need to infuse credibility into the invitation. If you don’t, you risk getting labeled “all hat and no cattle” by my Texas friends. And spoiler alert: “all hat and no cattle” is not a sustainable fundraising strategy. Reflection #2 on fire drill fundraising: It is a one-sided conversation which is designed to quickly arouse emotions. You’re trying to get a big reaction now, often without much clarity or transparency. “Please contribute to our campaign so that we don’t have to close down by the end of this year!” (This is a very real, and current, appeal that I read this week… the charity takes care of young children suffering terminal illnesses…) 😬 Your givers do want to understand “why” and “how” before they commit. Invite them to the journey rather than a high stakes appeal. Major giving is less about getting help for one problem and more about creating a shared vision for the long haul. #majorgifts #firedrillfundraising #longview #sustainablerevenue #awareness #fundraising
