Last week, Alton’s New York office took part in our Pledge 1% volunteer day initiative, once again teaming up with West Side Campaign Against Hunger (WSCAH) in Manhattan to help alleviate hunger in the city.    WSCAH’s crucial work ensures all New Yorkers have access with dignity to a choice of healthy food and support services. In support of the organization’s community-focused mission, the Alton team helped prepare 1,490 bags of fresh or shelf-stable food to serve more than 600 families in New York.     Each year Alton supports Pledge 1% https://lnkd.in/eW_ANjH, where we not only donate 1% of our revenue, but also 1% of our time to charitable causes.       Please join us in helping West Side Campaign Against Hunger with its impactful work by donating here: https://lnkd.in/d3eDAKJ   #community #socialresponsibility #corporatecitizenship #givingback #WSCAH #Pledge1%

According to Forbes Advisor's 2023 report, Nevada ranks second-lowest in charitable giving rates with only 39% of residents donating to charities in the past year. (https://lnkd.in/gmqCXdzn) Volunteering rates in Nevada are also lower than the national average. Studies by AmeriCorps and the Corporation for National Service consistently place Nevada among the bottom states for volunteerism, with rates around 17% or lower.

Here's the thing to remember this Giving Tuesday: Donors already have the resources to equip grassroots nonprofits with everything they need. There are $228.89 billion in charitable assets sitting in donor-advised funds (DAFs) in the United States. On average, only 22.5% is actually granted out each year. The rest just sits there. We started our Get Off Your Assets campaign as a call to our partners to move more money, more urgently to historically marginalized communities. And our community answered the call: Tides Foundation DAF partners give double the national average. Now we’re asking other donors, DAF providers, and philanthropy as a whole: Get off your assets and join us. Get involved: https://lnkd.in/eVs9Tyqx

5 for the Future: Building a Stronger Muscatine County! Did you know that over $331 million is expected to be transferred from Muscatine County estates in the next 10 years? Thanks to the new "5 for the Future" initiative by Iowa Community Foundations, a portion of those funds could be reinvested right here in our community! What is 5 for the Future? It's a program that encourages individuals to donate just 5% of their estates to their local community foundation. In Muscatine County's case, 5% of that $331 million translates to over $16.5 million! Planned legacy giving can help protect, grow, and spread resources that may otherwise lose roots.
