Lots more to come in the next 18 months, so do watch this space! #learningdisabilities #autism #advocacy #systemsthinking Social Finance Fergus Hamilton Dan Peck

Advocacy, starts with you. Your advocacy, whether it being volunteering your time and talents or your giving dollars, can have far-reaching positive impacts within the communities you live and serve and to various societal problems. Your advocacy: ➡Lifts voices of the unheard. ➡Brings attention to ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) populations. ➡Informs, Leverage, Organize, and Assess. ➡Brings social change. ➡Gives much needed support to individuals, families and communities. ➡And so much more... Consider yourself an advocate for any causes that you support. Advocacy starts with you!

We recently asked our audience on LinkedIn to share successful and innovative public policy changes spearheaded by Canadian non-profits - and you delivered! 🇨🇦 Advocacy is incredibly important, and in Canada, it has led to significant public policy changes across various issues. Non-profits have played a crucial role in driving these changes, demonstrating how strategic efforts and community engagement can lead to meaningful policy changes across the country. ✨ Here are ten advocacy efforts by non-profit organizations that recently resulted in tangible public policy change, from big to small: https://lnkd.in/gMht5F7G Thanks to all who contributed! #futureofgood #nonprofits #publicpolicy #advocacy #canada #animalwelfare #communityengagement #socialchange #disabilityrights #housingforall #greencities #youthactivism #childprotection #sustainablecities #cyclinginfrastructure #caregiving

Social stigma, discrimination, and systemic racism are a few of the biggest barriers that minority communities face in regard to mental healthcare. These issues can be addressed with community-wide education, peer support, and local policy advocacy. #supportlocal #nonprofit #nonprofits #giveback #community #jax #dtjax #NationalMinorityMentalHealthAwarenessMonth #mentalhealth #mentalhealthcare

Many people think it is easier to offer help to people in need than to work to change the systems keeping people powerless and in disadvantage. But it takes both justice and charity to truly help all people in need. 🌿🌿 Following the words of St Vincent de Paul, 'There is no Charity without Justice' the Society advocates strongly for people left behind, who are excluded from our broader community. Advocacy is not about politics, but human rights. By advocating, we help address the root causes of injustice and break the cycle of disadvantage. 🌿🌿 Like, repost and comment to support #Advocacy for people left behind.

Did you know its National Volunteer Week? Since the pandemic, overall rates of volunteerism have declined across the board. 📉 According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, approximately 1 in 4 Americans regularly volunteered their time in 2023, down from over 30% in 2019. Volunteers significantly enhance the capacity of organizations to carry out their activities, helping nonprofits to expand their reach, increase their impact, and tackle more significant challenges than they could with limited staff and resources alone. Kandula partners with nonprofits whose mission is to improve their reputation in the community, build stronger partnerships, find new funding sources and increase advocacy.

Why is fully integrating lived expertise into policy review design and implementation important to you and other kinship families? Lived experience should not just inform policy change but lead it. Policies, programs, and services are more effective, trusted, and used when they intentionally draw on the perspectives of those they seek to serve. It's important to engage #kinship families as lived experts when creating and enhancing public policies, programs and services that impact them. Explore our Kinship Unity Action Agenda and read our full collective action priorities and policy recommendations to support #grandfamilies! https://lnkd.in/dgpuU5jV #PublicPolicy #Government #Nonprofit #Intergenerational #Advocacy

The success of implementing advocacy within nonprofit organizations lies in its ability to mobilize communities, influence decision makers and drive policy changes that address systemic issues. By amplifying the voices of those they serve, nonprofits can effect real change and create a more just and equitable society for the future. #nonprofitwork #PulseForGood #innovation #mentalhealthadvocacy
