5W Foundation’s Post

A challenging year of fieldwork on this project, but nonetheless one of progress as we continue to increase our monitoring of Lappet-faced Vulture nesting trees in Kruger National Park. These huge vultures (the biggest in Africa) not only face the threat of poisoning as with all vultures, they also are having their nesting trees knocked over by elephants. While elephants have always knocked trees over, typically they do so to feed on the canopy, but what is interesting and mysterious in the cases of the Lappet-faced Vulture nesting trees is they do not touch the tree once they have knocked it over. With 30-40 nesting trees in the park (which is around the same size as Wales!), it’s a race against time to protect them and their population in Kruger. #vultureconservation #conservation #ecology

Between now and 11pm (UK time) on Sunday 29th September when you donate to Helping Rhinos "The Lost Rhinos | Help Us Find Them" appeal, your donation will be ‼️DOUBLED‼️ This means your support will go twice as far in helping to restore and rebuild this iconic species. Funds raised will help to Bring Back the Lost Rhinos by - ▪️ Saving and rewilding more #rhinoorphans enabling them to play a role in creating future generations. ▪️ Protecting greater swathes of habitat to stop rhinos from becoming victims of poaching and keeping them in the ecological landscape. ▪️ Creating new populations of critically endangered #blackrhinos, giving them the space they need to demonstrate natural behaviours and return to historic breeding rates. No matter the size every donation will be DOUBLED and every donation makes a difference 🙏 ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dcy76gMj

"Why do some people donate to the same cause year after year?" This question kept me up at night when I was researching nonprofit funding models. Then I discovered the 'Heartfelt Connector' approach, and everything clicked. Imagine this: A mother whose child survived cancer becomes a lifetime donor to pediatric research. A pet owner whose rescue dog changed their life supports animal shelters monthly. An environmentalist who witnessed local wildlife restoration donates to conservation efforts. This is the Heartfelt Connector model in action. It's not just fundraising—it's relationship building at scale. The magic formula? - A cause that touches many lives - Clear, emotional storytelling - Easy ways to contribute - Regular impact updates - Organizations like the American Heart Association don't just ask for donations—they create a community of supporters who see themselves in every success story. The results speak for themselves: - Up to 80% funding from individual donors - High donor retention rates - Sustainable growth But here's what most people miss: This model isn't about having the most heart-wrenching story. It's about creating genuine connections between your cause and your community. Question for my nonprofit leaders: How are you building these emotional bridges with your supporters?

On May 13, the biggest CSR challenge at NATEK - Activity for Charity - started 🧡. 132 Participants, forming 23 Teams, registered to participate in this year's edition. For comparison, in 2022, 122 Participants registered for the challenge and in 2024, 124 Participants. As you can see, the number of interested Participants increases every year 🤩! The previous 2 editions were held in autumn, but at the request of Participants, this year's edition is held in spring 🌿. Therefore there are also extra tasks in the area of ecology - one of the 1st is plogging 🗑️. Currently, Participants are exactly halfway through the challenge and they're one step away from reaching their 1st charitable goal target 💪. I would like to remind you that in addition to taking care of their well-being and the environment, they mainly care about helping those in need by covering kilometers for them. Below are some photos from our plogging Participants 🌱. Let's wish them good luck as the challenge lasts until June 16. Let's keep our fingers crossed for them ✊! #NATEK #ActivityforCharity #CSR #plogging

Urgent need

Sonoma Land Trust’s work to permanently conserve land is one of the most powerful defenses to protect against climate impacts. You can support our efforts to build a more resilient future, preserve wildlife habitats, connect urban areas with nature, and nurture the next generation of conservation leaders by considering three tax-smart ways to support our work: ☑️ Donating stock that has appreciated in value helps you save on taxes while making a lasting difference. ☑️ If you have a Donor Advised Fund (DAF), please recommend a grant (or recurring grant) to Sonoma Land Trust. ☑️ A Qualified Charitable Donation (QCD) can reduce the taxable share of income from your IRA when you take the Required Minimum Distribution (RMD).
