Pushing the purpose of LinkedIn... but sometimes, we all need a reminder about the impact of our roles, especially as we head into November and the busy holiday season. As someone who wears many hats, I’m excited to share a unique opportunity that combines two passions: great wine and meaningful support for the NoBarriers Education Foundation. Incidentally we area ALWAYS on the lookout for more Directors or project volunteers to spread the load. Please reach out, to either myself, Sigrid Pfaffle Andrew Stevens about these opportunities - particularly if your passion is #humanrights #zimbabwe #education or #fundraising #marketing #publicrelations). I have popped our new website in the first comment for those that are interested in the work we do and the goals we've been kicking over the last few years, but I digress as this post was meant to be about wine!! Our fundraising partner, winedirect.com.au will donate $50 for every purchase of the exclusive wine package from the link below to support us to provide essential resources and life-changing opportunities for disadvantaged young people in Zimbabwe. We provide them with bikes, school meals, menstrual products and workshops, school fees as well as IT equipment and clean water. So if you're going to buy wine ANYWAY.... or you're busy buying up in the Cyberweek sales..... please consider a wine purchase through the link below as every little bit counts for us! So, as the festive season kicks off, why not raise a glass that also raises hope? 👉 https://lnkd.in/gUx5FVpg Your support makes a difference. A share would also be massively appreciated 🙏 #NoBarriersFoundation #WineForACause #SupportEducation #CharityWine #WineLovers #MakeADifference #Fundraising #SocialImpact #GivingBack #PurchaseWithPurpose #HolidayGiving #CommunityImpact Andrew McAlindon CHIA Steven Cameron Russell Caird A/Prof Samantha Battams Natalie Arthur Georgina Dove Dr Sanjoti Parekh Alan Piper Jenni Gamble Jenny Yeeles Allan Sarago-Ah Kee

Let's celebrate National Donut Day by indulging in this tasty tradition! 🇺🇸 #DonutDay #HistoryofDonuts #TastyTreats

Thanks for your article in F&P (Fundraising & Philanthropy) magazine, Steven. Valuable advice for #charities. Do you have advice about admin + overheads for grant-seekers? In my experience, non-profits - especially those new to grant fundraising - can feel uncomfortable requesting a high funding amount. Your advice to people who are "shy" about asking for what they need is spot on: "describe what you would do with more funding if available". Sometimes organisations undervalue the costs associated with a grant. Applicants request funding that is not enough to cover the cost to deliver the program, forcing them to use reserves or other funds (donations, bequests) to make up the difference. Charities should request an amount that covers all the "hidden costs" required to write, deliver, measure and acquit the grant, including staff time, and a percentage of the organisation's running costs. This amount should also make allowance for the funds needed to ensure the organisation is sustainable - investment in capacity, governance, innovation, staff development and raising the next dollar (fundraising). The sector is becoming more aware of the need for greater flexibility in grant funding. More funders are awarding grants with less restrictions so the money can be directed to where it will have the most impact. Initiatives such as Reframe Overhead + Pay What it Takes are encouraging charities, funders and donors to change the conversation. Could programs like Penfolds' help to educate grant-seeking non-profits to account for the cost of being sustainable in their approach? This could help reverse the dominant "hand-to-mouth" attitude in the sector. I'd love to hear your perspective. #nonprofits #fundraisers #fundraising #grantmaking #grantfundraising #forpurpose

Cheers! 🍷 We’re doing it again, and it’s a very special event. This time, the winemaker, Erica Crawford, will be personally showcasing her wines from Loveblock in New Zealand. The California Nevada AWWA Water For People Los Angeles Committee invites to you to please join us for the 4th Annual Water For People Virtual Wine Tasting Fundraiser Wine Tasting featuring Loveblock with Erica Crawford. Why Participate? First, Water For People is one of the most effective water charities, with a firm belief in, and commitment to, transparency, efficiency, and sustainability. Water For People is dedicated to providing community based and sustainable clean water and sanitation solutions to communities in nine countries: Guatemala, Honduras, Bolivia, Peru, Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, and India. Second, of course, is that this event is one of the most fun ways to help fundraise! 😊 What to Expect Online Zoom event where the actual Viticulturist, Winemaker, Farmer, Innovator - Erica Crawford - guide us through the tasting process while educating us on the wines, regions, and flavor combinations. Two wines will be supplied in a kit for two or more people. Why Virtual? It’s a great way to connect without concerning yourself with drinking and driving. Another reason is Los Angeles region is so large, we can extend our reach well beyond a small region with an online event. More participation is more fundraising! The most fun way to enjoy is to host a few local friends at your house (via Uber, of course,) order several kits, and tune in for the wine education! More people means more glass raising! The last several years have included parties all around California, and the networking is a really fun part of the experience. If it’s Virtual, How do I get my Kit? 1. UPS shipped, added at time of ordering 2. Pick up locations on May 4th - Fullerton: Address location is given at the time of checkout Los Angeles: Will be provided after registering. Choose local pickup option, and I will follow up with you. https://lnkd.in/dpH-pWun Questions: Jenna Bland Jbland@ca-nv-awwa.org #WaterForPeople #CANVAWWA

Are you being present? Thank you cards and appreciation events are still important and have a place in a strong stewardship plan. But more than that, simply being aware of when you can make time to be present and give the gift of one’s self is just as important.
