🌟 What Does Giving Mean to You? 🌟 As the year winds down and we reflect on how to give back, many of us ask: 💭 “Why should I give?” 💭 “Is this a meaningful gift?” These are very important questions, but I’d like to add a third element to consider: The Power of Consistency. If you’ve ever wondered how to make a bigger, lasting impact, I invite you to read my latest blog post on why monthly giving matters. It’s not just about generosity—it’s about creating a lifeline and driving real, sustained change. 🔗 Read more here: https://hubs.la/Q030fyB30 When I was a teacher, having my mentor call and check in with me every day made a world of difference. On days when I felt like I couldn’t keep going for my students—when the challenges felt overwhelming—that steady support kept me grounded. (And trust me, there were many!) Consistency matters. Monthly giving offers something similar. It’s a steady commitment that tells organizations like The Teaching Well and the teachers we serve: 💙 I see you. 💙 I believe in your mission. 💙 I’ll stand with you, no matter what. For us, monthly contributions are a lifeline. They allow us to support educators, tackle burnout, and build thriving school communities. Your consistent support enables us to be that steady thread for teachers, just like my mentor was for me. Let’s end the year by investing in our teachers and communities. Together, through consistent support, we can create a brighter future for all. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference. 💙 #ReplenishTheWell here: bit.ly/ReplenishTheWell #MonthlyGiving #TheTeachingWell #ConsistentImpact #SeasonOfGiving

Your team is exhausted. You have been staring at & editing content for ages. Deadlines? Hah! You will finish when you run out of time, right? Yet that’s when careless mistakes slither past you, onto your web page, into your emails and DMs. Sure you can issue an “oops” retraction. But the retraction cannot unsee the sunglass frame section that somehow looks like devil horns in an image from your carefully crafted appeal; can't unsee an unfortunate placement of an adult’s hand near another person. Nor can retractions time-travel backwards to erase poor grammar or inappropriate wording that made your donors and prospects question the professionalism of those in charge of stewarding their precious funds. Let’s whisper together to raise your voice! #nonprofit #dogood #servantleadership #notAI #DataWhisperer

Ways to Give Back to Your Community This Season! The holiday season is a perfect time to spread kindness and make a difference. Whether big or small, your actions can create a ripple effect of positivity. Here are a few simple ways to give back: ✨ Donate Essentials Take a moment to declutter your space and donate clothes, books, or household items you no longer need. Your unused treasures can bring joy to someone in need. ✨ Acts of Kindness It’s the little things that matter—write a kind note, pay for someone’s coffee, or simply share a smile. These small gestures can brighten someone’s day and spread happiness. ✨ Share Your Skills Whether you’re great at tutoring, mentoring, or offering career advice, your skills can empower others to achieve their dreams. Your knowledge is a gift worth sharing. How are YOU giving back this season? #GiveBack #HolidayKindness #SpreadJoy #CommunityLove

As the year winds down and the season of giving approaches, many of us reflect on how we can give back. The question that often arises is: “How much should I give?” One of our mentors shared a simple, but wise approach: “Make it a meaningful gift.” What feels meaningful is deeply personal—only you can determine what resonates for you. But there’s also another powerful question to consider: “How often?” A monthly gift—“no matter the amount—sends a powerful message to an organization: I see you. I believe in your mission. I’ll stand with you, even when things get tough.” Learn more about the lasting impact of consistent giving in our latest blog post by Alia Peera.💙 Link: https://hubs.la/Q030fyB30 #MonthlyGivingMatters #NonprofitSupport #GiveBack #ReplenishTheWell

Empowering minds and changing lives, one page at a time. Celebrating World Book Day with the nonprofit community! 📚✨ #ReadingForChange #LiteracyMatters #NonprofitReads #BooksWithPurpose #WorldBookDay

Can you help us break down barriers to reading? We're raising money as part of the @BigGive #ChristmasChallenge to help us reach more adults who struggle with reading. Research shows us that when people choose to read because they enjoy it, it helps them become more aware, understanding, and open to different cultures. It supports better health and wellbeing, and it enhances the ability to learn new skills and communicate effectively. Last year, we gifted 256,825 books, eBooks, audio titles and resources. By supporting our campaign, you'll help us reach even more adults next year. Together, we can unlock the benefits of reading for adults across the UK. Donate today and your impact will be DOUBLED.
