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.

Excellent presentation on how organisational change can transform support for beneficiaries and increase reach and impact. A little can go a lot further if charities can shift and evolve to become future-fit!

It's my favorite day of the year, ExtraGive! Today the small community of Lancaster, PA will raise millions of dollars for local charities. We're at $1.3M already, and it's not even 9am. While there are many worthy charities in our community, I ask that you consider supporting Lancaster Public Library. Some reasons to support LPL include... The Lancaster Public Library serves over 40% of the county's population with two locations in Lancaster City and Mountville. The Lancaster Public Library serves more than 350,000 annual visitors in a typical year with free public library services. Lancaster Public Library patrons borrow nearly 700,000 items each year. The Lancaster Public Library is not fully funded with public dollars. In fact, more than 60% of our budget is funded through donations and library generated revenue. Across the country, comparably sized public libraries operate with budgets two to three times ours, have over twice as many staff members, and receive upwards of $38 per resident of dedicated local funding! In comparison, the Lancaster Public Library receives about $1.49 per resident in local funding and it isn't guaranteed.

#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

As Remembrance Day approaches, Randall Purvis from No Stone Left Alone encourages us to wear a poppy and engage in daily reflections, especially on Remembrance Day. Let's also remember and honour our Canadian Armed Forces. It's crucial to pass this legacy to the next generation, and that's precisely what No Stone Left Alone Memorial Foundation does. Join us, volunteer, spread the word, and consider making a donation. This year, NSLA expects 12,000 students from 200 communities to participate. That is over 248 ceremonies honouring 95,000 headstones. Coordinating and holding all those ceremonies does come at a cost. No Stone Left Alone is a Not-for-Profit – we rely on donations to make this possible for our youth. Give to Remember today. https://lnkd.in/eEsJ8gH

I believe that our greatest investment is not in road and bridges but in the education of our children.
