It must be more than 15 years ago that I was meeting with a client, now turned friend of mine. It was before I got really involved with anything philanthropic or really paid too much attention to the non-profit world. She was explaining what got her involved in all the things that she was doing with childhood hunger and how that became a passion of hers. She said that it was her employer at the time, Avnet. They fostered an environment of getting involved in the community, of finding ways to give back and encouraged their employees to do things outside of work that gave them more purpose. This is something that companies did 15-20 years ago. I suspect many companies still do. If your company offers you something like this, please reach out to me. If they don’t and you want them to, please reach out to me. There are so many ways to get involved in your community. So many ways to give back. So many ways to discover what your purpose might be outside of work. If you do have the ability to bring an organization into your company and you would like to learn more about a local non-profit organization, may I suggest asking to host New Pathways for Youth a lunch-and-learn. I will buy the lunch! #BecomeAMentor #NewPathways #LookingToBeBetter

Recently, a contact asked me about my resolutions for 2024. While I don't typically make resolutions, I've decided to embrace a motto instead. This year, my motto is "opening doors." In line with this, I'm excited to share that I'm focusing on collaborations in 2024 with Partnership In Employment, a non-profit initiative which I founded. Our Vision is a future where every Gambian engages in addressing our socio-economic issues, fostering a community of active participants for sustainable development. If you're interested in partnering with us to make a positive impact, please reach out! #NonProfit #Collaboration #PartnershipInEmployment"

One of my biggest highlights of 2023 was working with a spiritual mentor - yes, I'm one of those new age folks. Because my personality is literally shaped by what I do (and vice versa), we talked a lot about finding a balance between giving and taking, Petners Berlin and NO BORDERS studio. It's not giving vs taking actually, because running a non-profit for free and serving non-profits and amazing businesses for a financial benefit is not exactly the opposite. Both mean putting your heart and hard work into serving a cause. 2023 was a huge misbalance: Petners is blooming, I am busy with marvellous partnerships - with almost no time left to run NO BORDERS, the business that feeds me and gave me an opportunity to launch a charitable initiative in the first place. So the mentor asked me: how do you present yourself? Are you a person who runs a business while also building an iconic charity, or are you a non-profit co-founder who also happens to run a business? That's where it hit me. Most people indeed know me via Petners - having no idea about the work that puts that fancy vegan food on my table. The work I adore to the core of my heart. Interesting, huh? So this year, you're gonna be hearing quite a lot about NO BORDERS studio. We are a website design and development studio helping non-profit organizations and mission-driven businesses grow, and we are here for you.

Starting a non-profit organization like a foundation is often inspired by a deep-rooted desire to make a positive impact and contribute to a cause that holds personal significance. 🌟 Here are some key motivations that drive individuals to establish non-profits: 1️⃣ Passion for a Cause: Many founders are driven by a genuine passion for a specific social issue or cause, motivating them to create a platform for change. 2️⃣ Desire to Give Back: Individuals often feel a strong urge to give back to their communities or help those in need, leading them to establish a non-profit organization. 3️⃣ Creating Lasting Change: Founders aspire to create lasting change and address societal challenges that resonate with them on a personal level. ✅ By channeling their passion, altruism, and commitment to creating positive change, individuals are inspired to embark on the journey of starting a non-profit organization, aiming to make a meaningful difference in the world around them. 📌 We at Cathie Michaels Foundation are fueled by the passion of empowering women and children through education and support for a brighter future. 💙 Join us today to effect the change we all deserve - support CMF #changemakers #nonprofitorganization #foundationforwomen #sdgadvocate #cathiemichaelsfoundation #cmf #compassioninaction
