This year at Christmas, SRL has chosen to support Give Food, a UK charity that’s making a tangible difference by combining data with action to address local and structural food insecurity. Through their innovative approach, they can track and showcase the impact of donations in real terms. For example, the funds from SRL can: Deliver 1 to 1.1 tonnes of food and supplies and provide a detailed online dashboard showing the weight, number of items, and calories donated, along with maps of food bank locations receiving the supplies. Every penny counts. With 100% of donations going directly to food and supplies, their transparency and efficiency are helping make a real difference in the lives of those who need it most. Let’s continue to work together to ensure no one goes hungry. #GiveFood #FoodInsecurity #Charity #MakingADifference

If you follow the Public Interest Law Center's work in areas like housing, public education, and voting, you may not be as familiar with our Garden Justice Legal Initiative. Community gardens are critical anchors in Philadelphia's Black and Brown neighborhoods. They have been shown to increase access to fresh produce, improve air quality, and significantly reduce gun violence and overall crime. Yet in many gardens, the neighborhood residents who steward the land do not have legal title. Many gardens sit on parcels that are at risk of being lost at a tax foreclosure sale to developers or real estate speculators. The Public Interest Law Center represents non-profit gardens seeking legal access to the land they have been maintaining, in some cases for decades. We use litigation, advocacy, community education, and organizing strategies to preserve Philadelphia green space. As you prepare to make decisions about your year-end donations, please consider the Public Interest Law Center. Growing justice is what we do here. You can support us at pubintlaw.org/donate.

As we approach the final stretch of the year, many charities are feeling the strain of the ongoing strike between Canada Post / Postes Canada and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers. Traditionally, this time of year is crucial for year-end giving campaigns as many charities receive at least half of their annual donations during the final three months of the year, with December being the most pivotal month. While we often think of ourselves as living in a digital age, the reality is that 32% of Canadians still prefer receiving direct mail for charitable appeals. This makes the current postal delay a significant threat to donation revenue. Donors might receive appeals too late, mailed donations could face delays, and some may choose to postpone their contributions altogether. As a result, charities could face a substantial loss of funding at a time when they need it most. According to many recent reports, charities that rely heavily on direct mail fundraising could see a drop in year-end donations by up to 50% due to the strike. A long-term postal strike will substantially hamper the sector’s fundraising results for 2024. This is happening at a time when many parts of the sector are struggling with a combination of increased operating costs, increased demand and staff and volunteer shortages. The strike's impact is especially significant for smaller charities, which often lack the digital infrastructure of larger non-profits. Studies indicate that 60% of small organizations rely primarily on direct mail for year-end fundraising efforts. While some organizations are pivoting to digital campaigns, the reality is that direct mail appeals yield an average response rate of 5.3%, compared to just 0.6% for digital campaigns, which highlights the financial risk many charities face with the postal strike. Charities are doing their best to adapt, urging donors to use online platforms, email, and phone calls to make their contributions. However, the reality is that this postal disruption will likely shape the landscape of charitable giving for the remainder of 2024—and possibly beyond. As we near #GivingTuesday, let's support our favorite charities by considering digital donations and helping to spread the word. Every effort counts during these challenging times! #YearEndGiving #CanadaPostalStrike #Charity #NonProfit #Fundraising #SupportLocal #Canada

Really interesting #socialenterprise model. A platform that allows businesses to send less to landfill and share with charities and social enterprises. Developed by Cathy B. #Sustainability #circulareconomy

International Day of Charity. I find myself acknowleding the indispensable role that charities, social enterprises, and voluntary organisations play in our communities today. Today is a day to celebrate their global impact, but we are also confronted by the very real reality of persistent funding challenges and the threat they hold to so many organisations. - Charities are expected to do more with less - Vital services are stretched to breaking point - The fight for funding intensifies, making it harder to secure grants - There's an over-reliance on donations and volunteers to cover systemic shortfalls This situation isn't just unsustainable—it's unfair to those who depend on these services and to the dedicated individuals working tirelessly in the sector. As we honor the incredible work done by charities today, let's also advocate for proper, sustainable funding. Our society cannot truly thrive if we leave behind those in need. #InternationalDayOfCharity #ThirdSector #SustainableFunding #CommunitySupport
