Do you want to raise a child who sees the importance of volunteering and giving back? Try showing them what it looks like to have these values. Sure, reading books about being kind and filling buckets is beneficial. Yes, conversations about this topic are helpful. But when your child sees you volunteering, donating, and supporting causes that are important to you, they learn to invest their own time in energy into these things too. So the next time you're supporting a cause you care about. Consider bringing them with you. Can they volunteer too? If not, can you show them pictures of what you do or what the organization does? Think about ways you can empower them to get involved. For example, here's an easy way to support the students of Toa Tumaini Foundation this month: 1 - Sit down with your child to learn about TTF's work and the children we serve. Show them pictures and videos from our social media. 2 - Invite your child to draw a picture for or write a letter to students in Tanzania. 3 - Encourage them to think of ways to raise money to donate to education in Tanzania: garage sales, selling books to a used book store, birthday fundraisers, etc. Try it and let us know how it goes! What are your favorite ways to teach your kids to give back? #NonprofitOrganization #Volunteer #VolunteerWithKids #KidsThatVolunteer

👩💻 In our continuous pursuit of knowledge to keep us updated and relevant to the social sector, we had the opportunity to discuss the art of fundraising in our learning circle. 💭 We started by listening to Kara Logan Berlin, Founder and CEO of Harvest talk about changing our relationships with money and succeeding in fundraising for NGOs. The talk helped us ruminate about facilitating fundraising for NGOs successfully while keeping corporate needs intact. 👉 You can find the link to Kara's talk here: https://lnkd.in/d523BXY 💡 One of our key takeaways from the discussion was that "Fundraising is relational, not transactional". While the transaction of money is the ultimate goal of fundraising, the relationship between the fundraisers, donors and other stakeholders is pivotal in leading towards that goal. 💡 The relationship between a donor and a grantee begins with successful fundraising, influencing and impacting the decisions made by both parties, thereby creating a larger impact on the ground. Hence, relationship building between the donor and fundraiser is paramount, not just for fundraising but for creating meaningful impact at the grassroots. 🖊 What are your learnings about fundraising? 🖊 How does the donor-grantee relationship influence the programmatic impact at the grassroots? 👇 We would love to know your fundraising stories.

Great top tip in this week's #CatholicsInFundraising newsletter! 🗺How you can expand your fundraising revenue streams for the future.📈 "When diversifying revenue streams, I've found it invaluable to use the charity's warmest, existing networks of governors/trustees, internal stakeholders, senior volunteers and other potential advocates. All of these are well-placed to make strong introductions to your organisation. I've also found that the people they introduce can be broader than fitting within set revenue streams. For example, an individual Major Donor may sit on the board of a Corporate, while also being a Foundation trustee. Building relationships with key decision-makers is vital before approaching them with a request to give. It's also more important than the specific means by which they will choose to support an organisation - this is a choice that sits with them."
