This month, Beacon Hill's San Francisco Tech team did ab "Adopt a Family" for their community service initiative. The "Adopt a Family" program is a charitable initiative typically run by community organizations, nonprofits, or social service agencies during the holiday season, especially in December. The goal is to provide holiday gifts, meals, and other essentials to families in need. #ExpertsAtWork #EmployingTheFuture #GoHire

Being with family is always important. The time we spend with those closest to us defines who we are as people and how we choose to move through the world.    Family traditions, values, and shared missions all draw us together, and they do more than bind us as a family. They also teach us how to be part of a community, whether that’s a multi-generational family, a neighborhood, a charitable organization, or a business enterprise.    As we gather this holiday season, let us remember the role that we play within our families as well as how our families shape the world we all share.    #FamilyEnterprise #FamilyBusiness #FamilyLegacy 

I find it inspiring to see how Mountain View Printing & Graphics Ltd. has been quietly making a difference in our community by supporting organisations like Inn from the Cold, Calgary Food Bank, Calgary Humane Society, and Kingdom Coffee to name a few... How do other businesses out there integrate giving back into their business models? Whether it's through charitable donations, volunteering, or other forms of support, I'd love to hear about the creative ways companies are making a positive impact. #Question: As a small business, what unique approaches do you take to give back to your community, and how do you balance this with the demands of running your business? Is this something even on your radar? #yyc #GivingBack #CommunityImpact #SmallBusiness #CorporateResponsibility

'Tis the season to give back! In celebration of International Volunteer Day, now is the perfect time to connect with local charities and explore ways you can assist during the busy holiday season or even in the coming year. Here are a few local organizations that Veery Capital supports and could always use your help: Boys & Girls Clubs of Delaware, Delaware Hospice, Inc., Easterseals of Southeastern Pennsylvania, and Rise Against Hunger. #InternationalVolunteerDay #VeeryCapital #FinancialServices #FinancialPlanning #WealthManagement #RetirementPlanning #RetirementPlans  

2 civic responsibility opportunities I would like to bring to your attention: 1) I joined the movement to create positive change for moms and babies everywhere, especially those most at risk. With preterm birth and maternal death rates continuing to rise, I’m committed to raising funds so that every family gets the best possible start. But I need your help. Please visit my fundraising page to make a donation. Together we’ll be part of a movement to make America a more equitable place and ensure that every mom and baby is healthy.  https://lnkd.in/gNx_pGje 2) I am also volunteering with the American Red Cross as a Ready Rating Program Advisor.  The Ready Rating Program is a free service provided through a partnership between the American Red Cross and the Canadian Red Cross. It assists businesses, schools, and organizations in becoming prepared for disasters and other emergencies, helps meet OSHA requirements, and aligns with some Baldrige criteria (see 1.2c2 & 6.2c). I need to reach businesses & organizations about this free program to help improve preparedness throughout the U.S.  https://lnkd.in/gTDSYizK.

August is 'Make a Will Month' Everyone should have a will or living trust, regardless of your wealth. Having a plan in place ensures that your wishes are known and saves your surviving loved ones from additional cost and stress. Please also consider leaving a lasting legacy for your community by including charities and causes you care about in your estate plan.

🎄 State offices will be taking a well-earned holiday break, but compliance never takes a day off 🎅 ❓ Did you know accepting donations in certain states could trigger charitable solicitation requirements? If your nonprofit isn’t in compliance, you might find more than coal in your stocking – think surprise fines or an unwelcome letter you didn’t see coming 😬 Let’s keep your nonprofit on track and ready for success this holiday season. Got questions? I’ve got answers #NonprofitCompliance #HolidayGiving #StayOnTheNiceList State offices next week.

Well, that was fun..! I decided to test an upcoming activation concept for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland & Northwest Indiana by running a mini version myself. I’m happy to reconfirm that peer-to-peer fundraising is alive and well! 🎉 And no… it does not need to be tied to an event or special occasion. In a little over 24 hours, I exceeded my goal - raising $1,500+ from 24 donors. Here's what worked: ✅ Great Tech: A seamless and straightforward platform and donation process thanks to my BFF Fundraise Up. ✅ Individual Donor Recognition: Every single contribution was celebrated - personally and publicly! ✅ Regular Updates: I kept the momentum going with live progress shares. ✅ Personalization & Storytelling: Every message came straight from me, with personal anecdotes wherever possible. ✅ Mission Tie-In: I made it clear why donations were so impactful at this specific moment in time. ✅ Multichannel Communication: I reached out to my community through texts, social media, and email. What did I miss? Anything you’d add to ensure the official launch of this campaign is a success? #peertopeer #p2pfundraising #fundraising #rmhc #keepingfamiliesclose
