Executive Director at Birds for Sofia + Director of Philanthropy at JR Miller Enterprises | MBA | Nonprofit Expert | Social Impact Speaker
Community partners are so critical to advancing our work. Something I have found so inspiring about Birds for Sofia is how personal each donation is and how our donors can know exactly who and what their donation went to and how powerful the impact of their money can be. Here are some cool stats to end the year out: 1. We have helped over 270 kids from Ukraine and across Europe this year! 2. We have helped 8 children and their families resettle to the US from Ukraine to get life-saving treatment. The cost for treatment for these 8 kids in Europe would have been over $16.8 million out of pocket. We have only spent just over $90k here in the US for all 8 kids combined. 3. The mortality rate for these 8 kids is 95% before age 2. But with this treatment, they can live normal, happy, healthy lives. 4. Just in Q4 2023, the medication, equipment, and rehabilitation we have provided in our Aid to Ukraine program has added over 159 years of life to these kids.
Zions Bank donated $50,000 to Birds for Sofia! We were able to sit down with their team last week and talk about all the good that has been accomplished this year alongside the excitement of what 2024 will bring. More has already been done than what was ever imagined possible, but we are still looking at how we can help at an even higher scale. We are so grateful for their partnership and their support of kids internationally who need life-saving medical treatment. Thank you Zions and your incredible team for your investment in community!

All my Australian connections who have or do menstruate; can you help Share the Dignity and complete their Bloody Big Survey? This vital project evaluates the physical, social and financial impacts of menstruation, and uses the data to advocate for change. I was staggered to learn last year that one in five Australians who menstruate have been unable to afford #period products at some stage in their lives, and an average of 20x tampons are used per cycle. That’s a huge weight for an individual; every month, for much of their lives. #periodpoverty is real, and Share The Dignity is tackling it head on! If you can, please complete, and then like, share and encourage others to do so! #endperiodpoverty
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! On Thursday we were in tears worried about how we were going to get more survey respondents and WOW this incredible community really rallied behind us and shared the survey far and wide. Thanks to everyone's incredible support we are now HALFWAY to our goal of 200,000. Not only does this mean that we are closer to getting the data we need to advocate for change but we will also receive 100,000 period products donated by Kimberly-Clark (U By Kotex) on your behalf to help us support those experiencing period poverty right now. We are just blown away by the support and so grateful. Thank you to U By Kotex for generously donating 100,000 period products and to YOU our incredible community for taking the survey, interacting with our posts and sharing it far and wide. We still need your help to crack 200,000 so let's do this, please keep the suggestions coming, keep engaging and keep helping us spread the word. You will still see our Founder Rochelle Courtenay wearing her pad dress every day until we get there 💪🩸 Take the survey and help us advocate for menstrual equity - https://lnkd.in/gpmT6kyB

🧠 **Raising Awareness for Motor Neuron Disease (MND)** 🧠 Motor Neuron Disease (MND) is a progressive neurological condition that impacts the lives of thousands in our community, affecting motor neurons that control voluntary muscles. This debilitating disease leads to muscle weakness, paralysis, and eventually, difficulty in speaking, swallowing, and breathing. The effects of MND ripple through families and communities, creating emotional, physical, and financial challenges. Patients require comprehensive care and support, and caregivers often face immense pressure. Our community's resilience shines through in these trying times, but more awareness and support are crucial. We need to unite in supporting those affected by MND through fundraising, volunteering, and advocating for better healthcare resources. Together, we can drive research efforts towards finding a cure and provide much-needed hope and assistance to families battling this relentless disease. Join us in raising awareness and supporting our community members affected by MND. Every effort counts. 💙 #MND #MotorNeuronDisease #Healthcare #CommunitySupport #HopeForACure #Awareness

Whilst the type of care required from an unpaid carer differs from one unpaid carer to another, every unpaid carer has the same common difficulties to cope with. Loneliness, tiredness and worry that they're not doing a good enough job. Why? Because often they've had no prior experience of caring. They've had no training on how to care for someone. By picking up additional caring responsibilities for another person they become 'Time poor'. Quite often there are simply not enough hours in the day. This Christmas please consider gifting an unpaid carer with a gift of time by paying for a respite break hour for them. A £20 donation with gift aid will allow an unpaid carer to have 1 hour to themselves. Caring for someone else is the greatest sacrifice one person can give to another. They deserve it 🙏
You can give unpaid carers in Surrey the gift of time with just a simple click 🎁⏳ By supporting our Christmas Appeal, your donation will enable Crossroads Care Surrey to give local carers a regular break from the stress and exhaustion of caring for a loved one 24/7 🫶 Thank you so much for anything you can donate; you are making a huge difference to people who give so much themselves 💙 Happy Christmas! 🎄 Make a donation today: https://ow.ly/iBOj50QkzFz

Founder of Lsaran EDUCON & Fest | Change Management expert | Ex-Associate Principal at McKinsey | INSEAD Executive MBA
Calling for other charity projects’ founders! In 2023, I launched Lsaran Foundation in Armenia, and I would be very grateful to hear about your experience with managing charitable, educational, community and volunteer projects. What are your management principles? Who do you include in the Board of Trustees if you have one? What is your finance model? What are the main sources or paths for the income? How do you make the foundation self-sustainable? How do you expand it to the new locations? How then do you form local teams in new countries? What do you see as your main value for your project’s audience? And maybe there are other important questions that I missed? Please share your thoughts in the comments so we can grow our projects stronger together! Thank you!
