We're all searching for meaning beyond our daily work. Supporting local nonprofits transforms the dollars we earn into tangible community impact, aligning our professional efforts with our deeper personal values. This #GivingTuesday, I'm supporting three organizations that strengthen our local entrepreneurial ecosystem: The Community Investment Collaborative (CIC) empowers under-resourced entrepreneurs through education, mentoring, and microloans. Their work creates opportunities for business ownership across our community. The Central VA Small Business Development Center (CVSBDC) provides free business consulting and low-cost training to help local businesses start, grow, and thrive. Their services are a cornerstone of small business success in our region. The Fountain Fund offers fair-interest loans and financial coaching to formerly incarcerated individuals, helping them build credit, start businesses, and create sustainable futures. Every contribution matters, no matter the size. What organizations have touched your heart this year? Pro tip:💡Remember to document your donations and discuss them with your accountant—they may help reduce your taxable income while supporting vital community resources.

Leading Oak Nation Entrepreneurial Foundation as a nonprofit founder, without applying for corporate funding in the first 4 years, some of my top resource management lessons for early-stage nonprofits with limited financial resources are: - Think resources over money. There's something you need the money for in the first place. E.g. if you want to do an event, when you think of your need as "hall" instead of "money to rent hall," it changes how you seek what you need and how you see the resources around you. - Relationship is currency. Most of the things we did at ONE Foundation came from the value exchanged with relational currency instead of financial currency. - Don't bite more than you can chew. We ran a fully volunteer-led model for a long time because we couldn't afford to pay a staff member yet. And it worked for the time it could. - Understand that your journey and growth will be in phases. There are times when stability will be much more important than speed. Don't put yourself under undue pressure. Play the long-term game. #FounderStories #NonprofitManagement #OluwatoyinAjiloreChukwuemeka

Many corporations are feeling the pendulum of pressure swing towards removal of DEI programs. An investment in equity is not a pendulum swing. It should be a core value. Or not a core value. It will be interesting to see how other corporations and even nonprofits who swung high in DEI initiatives will sway in the next 12 months. Reach out and ask - especially if you're a stockholder / shareholder or a dues paying member - what is this company's / this nonprofit's dedication and commitment to DEI.
