The power of giving back this holiday season As the holiday season fills the air with joy and celebration, let's not forget the power of giving back. A small gesture - whether it's supporting a family member in need, volunteering at a local shelter, or helping a neighbour. All of these actions and every act of kindness, no matter how small, can ripple out to make a significant difference and create meaningful change. Giving isn't just about big acts; it's about thoughtful, intentional kindness that leaves a lasting impression. How are you going to give back this season? Share your ideas below and let's inspire each other to make this season truly memorable. #kindnessmatters #holidayspirit #intentionalliving #community #gratitude #givingback #payitforward #holidayspirit #kindness #philanthropy #socialimpact Media Source: https://zurl.co/aY9w3 Photo by Alexander Suhorucov on Pexels

At Borealis Philanthropy, we believe that it is our responsibility not only to fund but also to shift power to the healers, agitators, and activists whose collective efforts are moving us all beyond dragonhood. Today, grassroots leaders across the movement ecosystem bring deep dedication, ancestral wisdom, and lived and learned experiences to defending our freedoms while securing “freer and freer and freer” tomorrows. Participatory grantmaking (PGM), which we began employing through our Fund for Trans Generations (FTG) in 2016, is one of the ways in which we collaborate with these leaders to do so. Beginning in 2022, the Black-Led Movement Fund (BLMF) contracted learning partner Social Insights Research to conduct an overview and analysis of Borealis’ participatory grantmaking processes, currently adopted by four of our organization’s nine funds: the BLMF, the FTG, the Communities Transforming Policing Fund (CTPF), and the Disability Inclusion Fund (DIF). With Social Insights’ blessing, our latest blog shares 10 key takeaways—melded with additional insights from across our funds—to provide funders greater clarity on implementing a more community-informed approach to grantmaking. https://lnkd.in/gbwWqT2U #ParticipatoryGrantmaking #GrassrootsMovements #Philanthropy

🏁 Four years ago, Philanthropy Together launched with a mission to democratize and diversify philanthropy through the power of collective giving. Our launch was the result of convening, brainstorms, and discussions between more than 100 collective giving leaders across the U.S. What brought us all together? A shared love of humanity, a recognition for the generations of trailblazers who pooled resources with and for communities for meaningful change, and the release of the 2016 landscape research study which found that a national movement was emerging. 💙 📣 As we gear up to release 'In Abundance: An Analysis of the Thriving Landscape of Collective Giving in the United States' the latest research on collective giving, we're excited to see how far we've come and how, together, we can take our collective impact even further. ✨ Register at: collective.giving #CollectiveGiving #GivingCircles #Philanthropy #MarathonNotASprint

If I had the financial capacity, I would LOVE to create a purpose-built space for young people. This could solve so many of my challenges as well as many others who I’ve spoken to recently! Imagine a vibrant, welcoming environment where young people are welcomed, accepted, and valued. Where we can lead and facilitate safely. A space where every young person gets a chance and where a community is built. Imagine you walk in and can smell dinner being cooked in the kitchen, the sound of music flows to your ears and you hear young people talking and laughing, you feel young again when you see a group of mates stoked to see each other as they rush into the booth to record a song for their latest album. The moment you enter, you are hit with a feeling that cannot be explained. One of youthfulness, of comfort, warmth, and safety. You feel like you belong and that for just a moment everything is okay and despite life's challenges in this moment your world has paused, and you soak in the youthful essence. Any organisations, funding bodies or individuals willing to chat and see if you’d like to help me make this happen please reach out. #youngpeople #youth #youngleader #community #purposebuilt #youthleadership #youthculture #communitywork #philanthropy #philanthropics #funding #fundingbodies #youthwork #communityconnection #communityspaces #youngchange #purpose #youthengagement #opportunity #meaningful #youthful #communityled #communitydevelopment #resource #empower #youthempowerment #youthvoice Philanthropy Australia Paul Ramsay Foundation Vincent Fairfax Family Foundation

🎉Launching our new Strategy 2024-2029: Enabling transformative change from local to global Ignite Philanthropy: Inspiring the End to Violence Against Girls and Boys was launched in 2016 by a group of foundations committed to ending violence against children. Since then, as part of the global community, we have learned much and recognize that our efforts have not been good enough. With the creation of our 2024-2029 strategy, Ignite is committed to making changes and doing better for children. Our new strategy embraces radically different approaches that: 💡Refocus our efforts on the structural factors that lead to violence on the ground – including social, economic, political and environmental; 💡Prioritise partners on the ground – those who best understand what leads to the violence around them – especially frontline lived experience leaders and their allies most affected by violence; and 💡Continue to engage in global spaces, ensuring that our partners’ wisdom and experience inform global conversation and action. Thank you for your support & we invite you to join us in our reinvigorated journey towards a world free from all violence against children.
