Want to increase the impact of your company's charitable giving? Get your staff involved. Involving Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) in philanthropic giving empowers staff to make impactful, community-centered grants to organizations they're passionate about. Braze, a Tides partner and Pledge 1% member, is setting an example with their ERG Grant Program which has allocated $300,000 in unrestricted grants over the past year to organizations including The Ali Forney Center, Stand with Asian Americans, Black Girl Ventures, GreenLatinos, Every Mother Counts, Ipas, the Sylvia Rivera Law Project (SRLP), and many more.

Love sharing this update --this week we launched the Take Action Center on Tinder, powered by Vote.org. It's more important than ever to provide Tinder users with the tools they need to make informed decisions and take action. Annnnd to make voting HOT. 44% of single voters under 36 are on dating apps, and we know they are a powerful force for change. Through the Take Action Center, we’re making it super easy for young voters to register, find polling locations, and get essential voting information—all within Tinder. This is about more than just voting; it’s about empowering people to protect their rights and shape the future. At Tinder, we believe that protecting reproductive rights and LGBTQ+ is deeply connected to how we navigate relationships and build our lives. That’s why we’re committed to helping our community stay informed and take meaningful action. #TakeActionCenter #Vote2024 #TinderForChange #YoungVoters #Empowerment #Democracy

"Humanising features" are an important element in a successful charity website. When you’re promoting a cause, you need to reach out and make a connection. And, in the digital world, that means keeping it human. When you can’t meet your audience face to face, try showcasing your supporters, writing conversational content and using relatable, people-led imagery. https://lnkd.in/eWWA-FCz does this nicely and this approach continues down the page where they highlight the number of people who have already taken action for the cause. #charity #webdesign #website

Turn your frustration into action. It's Transgender Awareness Week - so I must ask... what are you doing to support the transgender community? Here are 4 things you can do: 👉Talk to your friends about the trans community. Share their stories. Humanize them to those who do not understand. 👉Check on your transgender friends. Practice the 90/10 rule. (90% listening and 10% speaking.) 👉Educate yourself. (I'm happy to provide resources) 👉Donate to an organization that supports the transgender community directly.
