Not only do Utilities give us life necessities in the form of power, but they also have missions and goals around impacting their communities. I work with Utilities across the USA and nearly every conversation involves community impact or community outreach. The local community is the customer and the customer is the priority. I applaud this Industry and those in it for keeping the customer top of mind. Duke Energy Corporation #utilitiesgiveback #communityimpact #giveback #powerthefuture #utilityjobs

'Tis the season...to complete your tax return. Why not take this opportunity to boost your charitable giving by reclaiming your higher/additional rate relief, considering Gift Aid carry back or asking HMRC to change your PAYE code to take account of your giving? Don't forget that any charitable gift you want to carry back must be made before you file your return! More detail in my Stewardship blog - link in the comments. #philanthropy #donoradvisedfunds

According to a letter to the IRS from Senators Warren and Grassley, "some nonprofit hospitals are benefitting from these tax exemptions while shirking their responsibility to provide charity care and engaging in abusive collections practices that harm their patients and communities." See the latest letter recommending increased oversight on tax-exempt hospitals. https://lnkd.in/e562p2CG

Save the date...but don't wait! NYICFF's Annual Benefit event takes place on February 10, but you can start fundraising right now. Join us in February for food, drinks, auction items, and a "Not For Kids" short film program.* Join us today for a brighter future for kids through film. All proceeds from the benefit, including your generous donations, support our core programs: the annual Festival, Kid Flicks, our national tour, and FilmEd Field Trips. NYICFF’s programs enable families and classrooms to engage in critical discussions that allow young viewers to better understand themselves and the world around them. We prioritize equitable access to our programs by offering subsidized tickets for families in low-income communities and providing Field Trips to Title I schools free of charge. With your help we can keep it that way. (Schools qualify for Title I status when at least 40% of the student body comes from low-income families.) *a curated collection of funny, irreverent shorts that might not be appropriate for kids, but are too good to keep to ourselves Visit nyicff.org/benefit to get involved.

So many business owners could get behind a project such as this. These developments going up everywhere in Truro, but I have not heard anything about affordable housing in the mix. There are so many of our families, friends and neighbours are homeless with not enough beds. Folks don't need a great big space...only big enough for a bed, small kitchen area and a bathroom with a sink, toilet and upright shower. This would get people out of the cold and off the street for the winter. Have the Town donate some land for a project, donations of materials to build from local businesses, volunteers to come together with their skills. tools and the willingness to help...you never know, you might be helping a friend who is hitting rock bottom. Think about this...it can be done if everyone brings whatever the can to help. Don't have another cold winter watching folks sleeping on benches or behind buildings...the people of Truro are better than that.

The issue of low-quality in-kind donations is a well-known problem in both charity work and disaster response operations. Arizona State University’s Mahyar Eftekhar, an associate professor of supply chain management at the W. P. Carey School of Business, and two associates conducted a field experiment in the Phoenix chapter of The Society of St. Vincent de Paul, to help improve in-kind donations this holiday season and beyond. https://lnkd.in/g-zx3wCj
