The last few minutes of any sporting game can be the most critical. It's that nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat moment where everything hangs in the balance. Players dig deep, giving it their all, knowing that a single play can change everything. This is where we find ourselves now, in the final stretch of our campaign. We're sooooo close to reaching our target, and we need just another $5000 to make a monumental difference. Your support will help so many more LGBTIQ+ individuals feel safer and more accepted in the world of sports. With a donation of $500 we can: ● support two sporting clubs to run their very first PrideGame event and provide everyone at their club with free LGBTQIA+ inclusion education. ● develop a new advanced training so that trans and non-binary people feel safe to play. ● expand our operations to new regional towns, and reach more LGBTQI+ folk with our support. Sport is for everyone, and the work we do at Pride Cup makes it easier and safer for LGBTIQ+ people to find their club. Pride Cup receives no recurrent funding. We rely on support from our partners, supporters and the community. Your contribution now can be the game-changer we need – you can make a tax-deductible donation to Pride Cup here https://lnkd.in/gEvdAdk9 🌈🏆 #SupportLGBTIQASports #FinalPush #GameChanger Hayley Conway Caitlin Bunker Coles Group NAB

Las fundaciones comunitarias son esenciales para construir un futuro mejor y más equitativo. ¡Te invitamos a conocer más sobre su labor y cómo pueden impactar positivamente nuestras comunidades! 🌱💪 #DíaMundialDeLasFundaciones #FundacionesComunitarias

En un mundo que enfrenta desafíos cada vez más complejos, las Fundaciones Sociales se han convertido en un pilar de esperanza para millones de personas y sus comunidades. Sin embargo, a medida que las necesidades crecen, también lo hacen los desafíos financieros que deben sortear. En el documento adjunto, exploramos un enfoque innovador para fortalecer la capacidad financiera de las Fundaciones Sociales, permitiéndoles no depender exclusivamente de las donaciones esporádicas. Nos sumergimos en un PLAN DE DONACIONES RECURRENTES que busca incrementar exponencialmente los ingresos de las Fundaciones Sociales, asegurando así la continuidad y la efectividad de sus programas hacia la población vulnerable. A lo largo de estas páginas, descubriremos cómo las Fundaciones Sociales se benefician de las alianzas con las empresas embotelladoras de agua. Esta colaboración estratégica no solo busca generar ingresos adicionales para las Fundaciones Sociales, sino que también se enfoca en la promoción de valores clave, como la sostenibilidad y el acceso universal a vías, pisos, muebles e inmuebles que se fabrican con los residuos en los ENVASES ECOLÓGICOS SUPRA RECICLABLES.

Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy's latest study unveils fascinating insights into American Jewish philanthropy trends in 2022. The research shows that American Jews facing antisemitism are inclined to donate nearly 10 times more to charity compared to those who haven't encountered such experiences. Moreover, two-thirds of Jewish households contribute to non-religious causes, surpassing non-Jewish households by 7%. One in four Jewish households in the U.S. generously support Israel-focused causes, donating an average of $2,467 per donor household. Interestingly, younger generations like Generation X and Millennials lead in giving to Israel-related organizations, with Gen X exhibiting the highest participation rate at 27%. The study also compares giving by Jewish and non-Jewish households. While Jewish and non-Jewish households gave at similar rates (74% and 72%, respectively), Jewish households gave a greater amount. The average gift size given by Jewish and non-Jewish donor households differed by over $2,500, or 32% ($10,588 donated versus $8,025, respectively). Furthermore, with respect to donations specifically to non-religious organizations and causes, Jewish households were more likely to give to non-religious causes than non-Jewish households (67% vs. 59%). Older-generation Jewish households exhibit a strong charitable nature, with over four-fifths being donors to various causes, particularly towards Jewish congregations and causes related to basic needs, healthcare, and education. This comprehensive analysis sheds light on the distinctive philanthropic landscape within the American Jewish community, showcasing a strong inclination toward supporting non-religious causes. https://lnkd.in/eRsBZkSy #Philanthropy #GivingTrends #Research #AmericanJewish #IsraelPhilathropy

🤔 ¿Qué hace a un buen Fundraiser? En in2action creemos que ser un buen fundraiser implica conectar con la causa y ponerle el alma. Como dice Norma Galafassi: "El fundraising es un puente que une causas con personas que quieren colaborar pero no saben cómo. Nuestro trabajo es inspirar, motivar y acompañar." Lazaro Manuel Maisler agrega: "Un buen fundraiser consigue los recursos necesarios para que las organizaciones cumplan su misión. He trabajado con causas diversas, y siempre encuentro personas comprometidas con un cambio positivo." Aunque enfrentamos muchos "no" 🏋♀️ , la satisfacción de apoyar a quienes trabajan por un mundo mejor lo compensa. Norma Galafassi sostiene que: "El fundraising es el alma de un trabajo que combina emoción, humanidad y un profundo compromiso con las causas sociales." ¿Te interesa conocer más sobre esta charla inspiradora? 👉 Lee la nota completa en nuestro blog de in2action: https://lnkd.in/dByQShjM #fundraiser #fundraising #in2action
