This is really hard for me to articulate, but I need an outlet. I typically steer clear of political discussions. I never want to offend anyone because I'm not built that way, but I can't help but feel bewildered by recent events. How can someone be found guilty of 34 felony charges and then immediately raise $32 million in a SINGLE DAY? Meanwhile, nonprofits like mine, which make a real difference in our communities, struggle to raise funds. Funds that could create life-changing opportunities for young people providing them with the skills and connections they need to face challenges and secure meaningful jobs. Yet, we struggled trying to raise $3 million to purchase a building dedicated to workforce development for youth in foster care. We actually had to get a loan. Make it make sense! It's time to focus and invest in our young people; the future leaders! #ittakesavillage #fosteryouthawareness #theymatter #theirstoriestheirway #impactfocus #impactdriven #impactjunkie #SupportNonprofits

Have you ever wondered if you should become a monthly donor? Giving monthly is a great way to show your support for non-profits that you love! Here are five reasons why you should consider making a monthly donation to Evergreen:  1. You boost your impact – When you choose to give monthly, your recurring donations compound overtime creating an even more significant impact in the long run. This steady support allows us to plan ahead, budget effectively and allocate resources where they are needed most.     2. You’re lowering admin costs – Monthly donations require less admin overhead compared to gift processing individual donations. Monthly giving can contribute to streamlined processes for managing recurring donations, resulting in cost savings in terms of staff time and resources.     3. Set it and forget it – These donations are automatic, which means that once you sign up you don’t have to worry about remembering to support your favourite non-profit. At Evergreen, we offer access to our donor portal, which allows you to manage your monthly donation, edit your profile, dedicate donations, change your payment method and download your tax receipts.      4. It can be easier on the budget – Rather than making a larger one-time gift, breaking the donation into smaller increments allows you to provide meaningful support without straining your finances.     5. You join a community – We will keep you in the loop so that you know about the good you are doing at Evergreen!  You’ll receive insider information such as new events happening at the Brick Works and impact stories.     Wondering what your donations go towards at Evergreen? Here are some examples:  🌱$25/month helps us continue to offer free opportunities to local vendors at the Farmers Market.  🌱$50/month supports free nature programming.   🌱$100/month connects five kids to nature through our Visiting Schools Program. Consider becoming a monthly donor today to help make our cities less grey. https://lnkd.in/euXECmDE

The recent success of the "Little Treasures Fundraising Sale" at my kids' school was truly inspiring! Working alongside a team of dedicated parents, I had the privilege to organize a sale featuring gently used items such as kids' toys, books, shoes, and winter gear donated by school families. This event not only achieved our fundraising goals but also created meaningful connections and emphasized the value of sustainability within our community. Key Outcomes: **Raised Funds for School Programs: Over $700 was raised, directly supporting art performances and field trips, enriching students' educational experiences. **Fostered a Culture of Sharing and Sustainability: The event encouraged a cycle of generosity and environmental responsibility, promoting community values. **Provided Affordable Options for Families: Families accessed quality, gently used children's items at reasonable prices, saving on seasonal essentials. **Supported Local Non-Profit Organizations: Leftover items were donated to local charities, further extending the event's positive impact to underserved families. This initiative was more than just a fundraiser—it was a celebration of community spirit, sustainability, and collective effort. Personally, I felt honored to apply my project management, event planning, marketing, and sales skills in such a meaningful way. It also became a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate professional pride to my kids, showing them how skills can make a difference. #CommunitySupport #Sustainability #FundraisingSuccess
