🌟 Meet Amara! 🌟 This giving season, we’re thrilled to introduce you to Amara – a bright and determined 16-year-old bursting with hope and ambition. Amara has big goals and the passion to make them happen, but like so many youth in our city, she’s faced some challenges along the way. In Toronto, where nearly 28% of youth live in poverty, dreams are often overshadowed by barriers like financial stress, limited resources, and a lack of support. For Black, racialized, and newcomer youth, these challenges are even more significant, and Amara has felt that struggle firsthand. 🚀 Where You Come In 🚀 But here’s where Amara’s story gets exciting – and where you can play a leading role! With the FYI Future Fund, we’re helping youth like Amara take those crucial first steps toward realizing their dreams. Over the next few weeks, you’ll get to follow along as Amara’s story unfolds, seeing firsthand how your donations and generosity bridge the equity gap and empower them to achieve milestones every step of the way. Donate today to be a part of Amara’s story and help the youth we serve rise to their potential: https://lnkd.in/eRzGjrzV 🎁 Your gift of just $50 today can provide a mentorship session that connects youth like Amara with a youth worker who can support them to develop skills and access resources, growing their confidence to pursue their goals. #givingseason #youthprograms #youthservices #youthwork #communitydevelopment #communityleadership #equity #youthfutures #fyifuturefund #torontoyouth

Your generosity will provide not just school supplies, but hope, dignity, and a chance for these children to pursue their dreams.

I’ve felt the weight of not belonging my entire life. As a transracial adoptee, I enjoyed immense privilege and opportunities, but always felt the need to fit in and hide my differences because of our systems prioritizing academics and athletics as the way to seek recognition in society. This led to a life of self-hatred and loneliness. I don’t want this for my little girl, who will identify as a child of color and feel different because of her appearance. What if we changed the narrative to believe that we are enough, simply by showing up as our authentic selves? 🙌🏽 My mission is to create inclusive systems for children who feel different—whether due to appearance, abilities, how they process information, or how they identify. Our most vulnerable youth and marginalized communities need a champion for change. They deserve someone willing to PLAY it forward and take a risk on them.💜 At P.L.A.Y. Education, we create environments where children can learn, grow, and thrive; just as they are. We focus on whole child school health initiatives rooted in civil rights and social justice, addressing systemic barriers that impact our most vulnerable and marginalized children. Your gift, no matter the size, impacts children today and influences change for the future. Please consider joining us in becoming a champion for change and donate to support this important and vital work.🫶🏽 To give a gift you can: 📱Text G518 to 71777 One time donation: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gaEHDVth Recurring donation: 🔗https://lnkd.in/ge_JW-FC FirstBank and Colorado Gives Foundation are matching recurring donations (up to $100) which is a super fast way to double your impact and help ensure sustainability for our work! #SupportOurYouth #InclusiveEducation #EquityDriven #CivilRights #SocialJustice #TransformativeChange #PlayItForward #ChampionForChange #EmpowerChildren #Fundraising #DonateNow #GivingTuesday #Nonprofit #CommunitySupport #EducationForAll #YouthEmpowerment #ChangeMakers Colorado Women's Chamber of Commerce The Inclusion Initiative Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy (AAPIP) AAPI Women Lead Asian Pacific Fund Thomas Root CATCH Global Foundation Obama Foundation Physical Activity Alliance CDC Foundation

🎙️ Are You Unknowingly Perpetuating the Nonprofit Poverty Cycle? If you're grinding to deliver $80K worth of services for a $10K grant, you're not alone—and it's time to stop the cycle. In this week's episode of #OnAirWithAmberWynn, I dive into how philanthropy can unintentionally trap nonprofits in the poverty cycle by offering less funding than requested without reducing deliverables. Here’s the deal: nonprofits are businesses—with expenses, salaries, and big missions. So why is it okay to expect premium work for discount rates? Spoiler: It’s not. I’ll show you HOW TO RESPOND TO MODIFIED AWARDS: ✅ Establish a partnership without overextending. ✅ Provide clear deliverable options that align with the funding offered. ✅ Maintain your organization’s integrity AND your sanity. 🎥 Catch the reel to understand what NONPROFIT POVERTY CYCLE is and watch the full episode to learn how to advocate for your organization while building equitable relationships with funders. Link to full episode in comments. 💬 Let’s disrupt the cycle together—drop your thoughts below! #NonprofitLeadership #Philanthropy #FundingEquity #NonprofitSuccess #AmberWynn

Today, on International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we shine a light on the harsh realities faced by women, especially young girls, in rural communities. Many are subjected to early forced marriages, abuse, and violence that rob them of their education and dreams. At Cocoa360, we are committed to changing this narrative. Through quality education, we empower young girls and their families to break the cycle of violence, creating safe spaces where children can thrive and grow free from violence and fear. As Giving Tuesday approaches, you have the power to make a difference. Your donation can help protect these girls from violence, give them access to education, and unlock their full potential. Together, we can create a world where no girl lives in fear.

🌟 Let's Break the Cycle of Poverty Together! 🌟 It's time we recognize that it's each one of our responsibilities to help underprivileged children break free from the cycle of poverty. Every child deserves a fair chance at a bright future, regardless of their background or circumstances. I firmly believe that by coming together and collaborating, we can make a significant impact on the lives of these children. One of the most powerful ways we can do this is by taking on roles as mentors and educators. By sharing our knowledge, skills, and experiences, we can empower these children to reach their full potential and pave the way for a better tomorrow. I encourage each and every one of you to consider how you can contribute to this important cause. Whether it's volunteering your time to teach, donating resources to support educational initiatives, or simply spreading awareness, every action counts. Let's join forces and make a difference in the lives of underprivileged children. Together, we can break barriers and build a brighter future for generations to come.

🌟 Together, We Can Make a Difference for Children in Need 🌟 Every child deserves a chance to grow, learn, and thrive in a safe and supportive environment. Yet, millions of children worldwide are still facing immense challenges—whether it's access to education, basic nutrition, healthcare, or simply the love and care they deserve. Today, I want to remind us all that we have the power to make a lasting impact. Whether through donations, volunteering, or raising awareness, each small action can create a ripple of positive change in a child's life. 💡 Here’s how we can help: 🐞 Support organisations that provide education and healthcare to underserved children. 🐝 Volunteer at local children’s shelters, food banks, or mentorship programs. 🦋 Advocate for policies that protect children’s rights and improve their quality of life. 🐻 Consider supporting children’s charities or non-profits that are working on the front lines. By coming together as a community, we can help lift children out of poverty, provide them with educational opportunities, and give them the hope they need for a brighter future. Let's all make a commitment today to be a part of the solution. Every effort, no matter how small, counts. #ChildrenInNeed #MakeADifference #EndChildPoverty #SupportKids #GiveHope #CommunityAction #Philanthropy #SocialImpact
