Spotify’s Post

Inspired by Spotify wrapped (like many other companies before us), last week Temelio sent out a "grantmaking wrapped" to each of our customers, highlighting core insights from their grantmaking data. It has been exactly one year since we launched the Temelio grants management product so I wanted to take a moment to share Temelio's own "grantmaking wrapped" - an aggregated report of all foundations that joined the Temelio community in year one. Here are a couple of insights from the attached report: 💰 Total dollars awarded through the platform: $29,379,061 🏆 Top tag category funded: Technology ($3,229,167) 🌎 Top state funded: California #grantmaking #philanthropy #nonprofittech

You might not be aware of this but, the prominence of Puerto Rican music is staggering; in 2018, 27 out of the top 100 most viewed YouTube videos were by Puerto Rican artists. Conversely, many non-profit organisations struggle for recognition, often due to limited financial resources. For Giving Tuesday, Ogilvy came up with a campaign called “Giving Tuesday: Giving Songs” and harnessed the global musical influence of Puerto Rico by using these widely watched music videos to appeal for donations. Imagine if social causes received the same visibility as these YouTube superstars. Keeping this in mind, Ogilvy requested renowned Puerto Rican artists to exhibit compassion in a simple way: by giving new significance to their hit song titles on YouTube. Throughout #GivingTuesday, when millions searched for their favourite music videos, these song titles transformed into public service announcements, informing fans about the cause they supported and encouraging them to donate at givingtuesday.org. #givingtuesday #notforprofits #charities #donations #influencermarketing #socialcause #youtube #ogilvy #amazingcampaigns #clevercampaigns #givingback #supportingcharities #marketing #digitalmarketing #videoadvertising

Did you know that donor dollars are supporting critical services like music therapy at Children's National? 🎵 Music therapy helps patients of all ages. It helps a 4-month-old to regulate their heartbeat. It helps a 4-year-old to be on less medication. It helps a 14-year-old to have a creative outlet, express emotion and improve their mental health. I hope you will consider donating to my personal Race page to raise unrestricted funds, to support services like music therapy. 🎵 https://lnkd.in/e-5SGvFX

"Death Differently" is a cinematic educational series that explores innovations in death care, including death doulas, hospice workers, alternative death advocates, music thanatologists, and green burial funeral directors. 🧡 Watch the rest here: https://lnkd.in/ecuPaDzN #e2ac #documentaryfilm #nonprofit #socialimpact 

This month's nonprofit spotlight is Peacemaker. I got to sit down with Ricky Beauchamp and learn about the ways this organization can help, and also hear about the impact they've already made. Here's what we discussed: Q. What is one thing you want our community to know about this organization? A. They are a nonprofit that exists to benefit children's organizations. Q. How many were you able to help in 2023? A. The amounts vary by year depending on fundraising proceeds. Cumulatively in the past 9 years, they have donated $850,000 to several organizations. Their core 4 are Girls Inc, Development Wings, Children's Emergency Shelter, and the Boys & Girls Club in addition to other organizations. Q. What brought you to this organization? A. 10 years ago Ricky was approached by a client who dreamt of a nonprofit music festival. It would be a community asset, an economic driver for downtown Fort Smith, and benefit children's organizations. The rest is history. Q. What big events do you have coming up in 2024? A. Their 10th Annual Peacemaker Music Festival will take place on October 11th and 12th. Tickets can be purchased at https://lnkd.in/gCMDF6Ys Q. How can we help? A. The goal is to reach $1M in proceed donations to celebrate their 10th year anniversary! They are looking for corporate sponsorships as well as ticket sales and festival attendees.

Join us next Friday to look back on 2023 and set your intentions for 2024! 30% of tickets are gone, cost is by donation. You can use Year Compass on your own and it's fun to do it in community. You can choose to participate as much or as little as you want. ⏰ There will be some time to work on Year Compass--though 2 hours is probably not enough time to do the whole thing. 🎵 . Samala will be DJing using the songs you suggest for 2023 and 2024 as inspiration. 😄 We'll also have breakout rooms for sharing some of your observations--you can chose to participate or not. ❗You can use the session like body doubling and show up, checkin, then turn off your camera and sound. Join us and choose your own adventure! Link in comments.

Help us spread the word about this great #nonprofit and share this post. Consider us in your giving.

Nice to be mentioned as one of the success stories!
