Would you mind doing me a favour?... I set up and launched the non-profit emergency dentistry platform Accidentist 4 years ago with a vision of it becoming the leading online platform to help patients find, compare and book emergency dental appointments in the UK. Accidentist's USPs include: • Our integration with one of the leading global Dental Practice Management Software companies Dentally, providing live appointments to our patients. • Our goal to donate 100% of our net profits to the two leading dental charities in the UK, Bridge2Aid and Dentaid The Dental Charity . So far we have over 70 practices registered, however there's one big problem...we aren't profitable! It's a self funded/boot strapped business to date, but as with any business there is a point where you have to draw a line in the sand. If you feel you can help me in any way, whether that be in funding options for non-profits, business model analysis, marketing advice or just general business advice, please feel free to message me.  Alternatively if you know anybody who you think could help, please tag them in the comments below, pass my email onto them or just like/share the post. My email is jon.mahoney@accidentist.com www.accidentist.com Thanks everyone, really appreciate you reading my post. 

It's the second Friday of the month...meaning today, we need YOU!🚨 This Fundraiser Friday, we're striving to fulfill our initial goal from last month to raise $5,500 to stock our ambulance fleet with 28 Slishman Traction Splints. So far, you guys have already raised close to $1,000!!! Designed to overcome the operational difficulties of older traction splints, the STS Gen2 is the fastest splint to apply, reducing on-scene times and maximizing patient comfort. Unlike other traction splints, the STS Gen2 requires no individual poles or complicated mechanisms to assemble. It can be applied in under a minute, making it the go-to solution in emergencies. The traction mechanism is found at the patient's hip, with femur traction applied by extending the pole segments. This creates a pushing force on the ankle or distal strap, rather than pulling distally from the foot as with conventional traction splints. The STS Gen2 is lightweight, weighing only 17 ounces, and its compact design takes up little space. Additionally, the STS Gen2 is one size fits all, eliminating the need to carry multiple sizes. Traction adjustment is easy to accomplish for maximum patient comfort, and the STS is radiolucent, eliminating the need to remove the splint for patient imaging or exam. Overall, Its advanced design and versatile features make it a must-have device for EMS agencies who frequently encounter leg fractures. As a nonprofit 501(c)(3), we rely directly on the community we serve for support. Lancaster EMS does not receive direct tax dollars. Will You Be Today's Hero? Thank you to all who have already donated! Your contribution makes a difference! #fundraiser #ems #firstresponders #Fundraising https://lnkd.in/d_xtr9xw

I am excited to share that on 10 March 2024, I will be cycling the 109km Cape Town Cycle Tour to embark on another journey for a cause close to my heart. 🚴♂️💖 Around this time last year, many of you joined me in supporting a cause bigger than us by contributing to my 2023 Cape Town Cycle Tour Ride to raise funds for Groote Schuur Hospital (GSH) through its supporting trust, the Groote Schuur Hospital Trust. The outpouring of support was truly overwhelming, and it's time to pedal for purpose once again. This year, the stakes are even higher. Due to austerity measures, GSH's budget has faced significant cuts, impacting its ability to serve some of the Cape Town community's most vulnerable. GSH transcends beyond Cape Town, and assists patients as far away as in the Eastern Cape, thousands of km away from Cape Town. It's important to clarify that this initiative isn't about the governmental decisions but about the patients whose lives depend on the essential services GSH provides. It's about humanity, community, and stepping up where there's a need. The funds raised will go directly to the trust that supports GSH, ensuring that it can continue its vital work without interruption. This is about lending a hand to ensure no one is left behind, especially in these challenging times. Please click on the link https://lnkd.in/dgt5958K to contribute to or learn more about my campaign. Your support, no matter how big or small, can make a tangible difference in the lives of many. Together, we can create ripples of positive change. 🌊❤️ P.S. Please excuse the less-than-flattering photo on my fundraising page – I promise I wasn't constipated, just intensely focused on the cause! 😅📸 #CapeTownCycleTour #Fundraising #SupportGSH #CommunityOverCrisis #PedalForPurpose

What kind of impact could you have with $1B?? What a life-changing gift to the students at Albert Einstein College of Medicine! I love hearing positive news and knowing how meaningful the gift will be for the recipients. Let's dive into 5 ways you can amplify your charitable giving: 1. Utilize a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) A DAF allows you to take an immediate tax deduction on cash or appreciated securities donated. They can be later distributed out to your qualified charities of choice. They're an excellent tool for bunching deductions in a singular year, reducing capital gains taxes, or reducing the tax on big-income years when you have large stock grants or sell a business or rental property. 2. Age 70.5? It's time to consider Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) Giving directly from your IRA account allows you to fully exclude the funds from your taxable income. Considering most people file with a standard deduction, it's great to recognize a full tax benefit for the generous donation. 3. Directed giving Contact your favorite charity or institution to see if there's a specific program of personal significance you can give to. 4. Utilizing a charitable remainder trust (CRUT or CRAT) If your estate is going to a charity, consider utilizing a charitable trust to receive immediate tax deductions, save on capital gains taxes, and receive an income stream now. 5. Matching gifts Check with your employer to see if they match your charitable contributions. We find many tech companies offer matching contributions to specific causes they care about. Search your HR portal for "matching gifts" to see if your company can help you amplify your giving. If you have more time-based wealth, consider: ♻ Volunteering your time ♻ Amplifying the message of your favorite organizations through advocacy and awareness ♻ Leveraging social media to encourage others to give ♻ Giving in-kind donations of goods that support the organization's needs #charitablegiving #estateplanning #financialplanning

Why should you donate to Gold For Kids and not direct to children’s charities? This is such a great question, so let us explain. We are drawing on untapped potential cash from dental clinics across the UK and we can raise so much more by enrolling dentists to donate their patients' unwanted crowns and bridge work and other dental restorations. These all contain precious metals which have a cash value. We also ask the public to donate their unwanted, old or broken gold jewellery for the same reason. Dental practices can also suggest charities who are aligned with our mission to address child poverty in the UK, no matter the size, big or small, to apply for money from our grant funding. By donating to Gold for Kids instead of to charities directly, we are able to make an even bigger impact to many more children who desperately need our help. If you would like any other information or if you have a question to ask us, please email info@goldforkids.org. Thank you. 😀 #dentists #dentalpractice #dentalnurse #dentalpracticeowner #dentalpracticemanager #dentallaboratory #charity #childrenscharity #goldsforkids #grantfunding #childpoverty #costofliving #goldforcash

We are entering the season of GIVING! However, not all well-meaning gestures fall under true "giving"... Each year, we receive calls from non-profits who say, "Someone generously donated a copier to us. Help!" While the gesture is kind, if the copier wasn’t working properly for you, it likely won’t work for the non-profit either. Before donating, here’s a list of hidden costs to consider: 💰 Shipping/Freight expenses 💰 Higher service costs on older equipment 💰 IT costs to install, configure printing, and set up scanning 💰 Disposal and recycling fees if the copier is too costly to repair 💰 On-site visit (a chargeable call) to assess the copier for a service plan, with additional charges for parts and labor Moral of the story: Avoid donating outdated copiers unless they're less than 3-4 years old, have been under continuous service, and the current provider is willing to continue servicing the machine at its new location. If you have any questions or need guidance, feel free to reach out. We offer a fantastic Non-Profit Program that can help you achieve your giving goals the right way.

🎉 Dr. Ruth Gottesman's $1 billion donation to Albert Einstein College of Medicine is a testament to the power of estate planning and charitable giving. Let's celebrate her incredible generosity and remember the impact we can make through thoughtful giving and planning. Whether you can give $1 billion or $100, every gift helps transform our world into a better place. #Philanthropy #EstatePlanning #newportbeachestateplanninglawfirm #meierlawfirm🌟

As surely as night follows day, if ICB’s continue to avoid their statutory responsibilities to properly commission and fund specialist palliative and end of life care more hospice services will reduce and close. There is already a shortage of hospice services. With further cuts we’ll see increasing numbers of people will die in pain and distress. Families will suffer trauma. Good years of life will be lost. This isn’t hyperbole - it’s what hospice care does. The historic funding model for hospices (second hand shops, raffles etc) has been broken for a long time. The govenrment recognised this and issues statutory guidance on how NHS funding should increase from around 30% to FULLY fund the specialist service the NHS is required to commission by law. For whatever reason, most ICB’s have disregarded this guidance. Yes money is tight but would they have done the same for maternity care, cancer care, hospitals etc? Would they suggest to those specialist teams that they do more fundraising to pay the clinical staff despite already maxing it out to cover their costs? There is something very odd going on here and some top level leadership urgently needed before entire hospices begin to fall over.

One million, one hundred thousand dollars. A big, hairy, audacious, and achieved goal 🎊 Over the last two years, leading our Flying Doctor Day campaign has been a testament to the hard work of our team coming together to work to their strengths. After managing six giving days across five different organisations, I know that a giving day regardless of its size has the same principles. It is about inspiring the community and matched giving partners to make an even bigger impact. Bringing individuals, corporates, major donors, communities, businesses and trusts on a shared journey. The reason I love these campaigns is because everyone can feel like the are changing the world together. https://lnkd.in/gGMvEUJT
