Small charities are facing a daunting task of adapting to survive and thrive in this rapidly changing fundraising landscape. The cost of living crisis has created a widening gap between large and small charities. To overcome this challenge, small charities can adopt two innovative solutions: 💻 Digital Fundraising Campaigns and Partnerships and Collaborations. By harnessing the power of online platforms and social media, small charities can reach a broader audience through compelling multimedia content, including videos and interactive webinars. 👩👩👧👧 Joint fundraising efforts, co-hosted events, and shared marketing initiatives can help them pool their strengths and attract more donors. #SmallCharities #Fundraising #Partnerships #DigitalCampaigns #Collaborations

CLA Global TS elevates the spirit of giving this year by supporting two giving initiatives – the Boys’ Brigade Share-A-Gift Project and Skate For Good – to create winning opportunities for our People and our Communities. On 5 December, people of CLA Global TS worked together simultaneously to deliver 320 hampers to the beneficiaries. Delving further into the spirit of giving, CLA Global TS had also matched every donation from staff dollar-to-dollar, raising a total of $5,000 as contributions to the funds used by Boys’ Brigade to purchase essential foods and household items for the elderly and less fortunate in Singapore. CLA Global TS Group CEO & Chief Innovation Officer, Mr. Henry Tan, said, “The annual firm-wide participation in Boys’ Brigade Share-A-Gift (BBSG) Project is an event that our People look forward to every year. It is the one day of the year when we gather to give back to our Communities through our collective effort as a firm. As the firm’s leader, I not only support our People to grow professionally, but also encourage them to give back to society in ways within their means, large and small.” #CommunityFirst #CorporateResponsibility #CLAGlobalTS #CSRDay #CSR #ShareAGift #Givingback #DoGood #OurCommunities | CLA Global TS Holdings - People and Culture Read more: https://lnkd.in/gYgY2kDB

Choice Properties has hundreds of retail centres across Canada, predominantly anchored by necessity-based tenants. What this means is that local residents visit our centres often. We all need to grab groceries, pick up medications, and do personal banking on the regular; whether it be for ourselves or our loved ones. The places we own are naturally a part of daily life among the families that live in the neighbourhood. Last year, I had the privilege of playing a role in the development of our long-term social impact framework. As we thought about opportunities for transformative impact through our operations, one of the questions we sat with is: "How can we encourage people to gather and dwell at our properties in a way that fosters social cohesion and community resilience?" Little did I know that our pondering was the beginning of what would become known as “Scarborough Proud”. Fast forward to last Sunday - we launched our six-week community activation series at Golden Mile Plaza. We converted underutilized parking lot space into a colorful, inclusive, thriving place for everyone to enjoy! We partnered with local charities, small businesses and artists to bring the community together and celebrate what makes Scarborough, Scarborough. We are going to learn much from this experience, as it is our FIRST activation of this scale. I can't wait to share our wins and lessons learned with you – stay tuned! Learn More: 🙌 Scarborough Proud is an activation series co-designed with local non-profits and businesses that serve the Golden Mile area. Check out the FREE public programming we will be offering all summer: https://lnkd.in/gQ7uCwQu 💜 Our social impact framework aims to Strengthen Communities to Prosper. It has two focus areas: local economic development and social cohesion.

Unlock opportunities: still time to apply for government funding Businesses, charities, and community organisations in Southend are invited to seize an incredible opportunity! The application window for the second round of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) is officially open. This fund offers financial support for projects that tackle local needs and aims to uplift our community. Southend has been allocated £815,000 in core UKSPF funding for the period from 2024 to 2025. The UKSPF is a significant part of the government's initiative to level up across the nation. Its primary goal is to boost community pride and broaden opportunities across the UK. Southend-on-Sea City Council has pinpointed three critical local areas: volunteering, business support, and skills. Through this fund, we aim to back projects that address these priorities, fostering growth and development within our community. Funding priorities in Southend: - communities and place: Supporting impactful volunteering or social action projects - local business: Strengthening our local entrepreneurial networks - people and skills: Offering tailored support for employed individuals to access courses and employment assistance for economically inactive individuals Cllr Daniel Nelson, cabinet member for economic growth and investment, said: "The UK Shared Prosperity Fund is an excellent opportunity for local organisations to contribute to our community's growth while advancing their own goals. I strongly encourage businesses, charities and community organisations to apply if they align with our local priorities and can truly make a difference in our communities." In the previous call for projects launched on 16 December 2022, funding was awarded to six volunteering projects and three business support initiatives. Draft applications are to be submitted by Wednesday 29 November 2023.

It's #VolunteersWeek! #Volunteers are the lifeblood of the #Charity sector, worth by various estimates in the tens of billions of pounds annually to the economy. Imagine what would happen if that contribution suddenly wasn’t there? The charity sector and much of society as we know it would fall apart. In this piece I take a look at the some recent data and offer tips and resources for how charities can attract volunteers and overcome some of the recent challenges: https://lnkd.in/gCf27MrV
