Performance Leader's Feedback for Good program sees us donate up to 2.5% of our software licence fees back to three charities nominated by the client. It's really simple idea: every time someone provides real-time feedback to a colleague using our fast feedback platform, they get to drop a virtual token into one of three charity buckets. At the end of the year, we donate to the three charities, in proportion to the allocated tokens. (A bit like buying a burger at Grill'd or shopping at Waitrose, except our clients choose their charities). If you're a Performance Leader client and you want to set this up in your firm, reach out to Logan Balavijendran. And if you're not a client, but you're curious about how this might work in your firm, please get in touch! #performanceleader #forgood #feedbackforgood

Why It Matters:

Crisis, such as the tragic fires in and around Ruidoso, reveal the character of people and businesses. Such as the extreme leadership of MATI’s Godfrey Enjady working tirelessly with friends, such as PVT’s James Meyers, to restore vital communications within and outside of their own service areas. Or the local businesses working together to meet the needs of those impacted. Local businesses matter and will be there when needed. I so appreciate the efforts of PVT’s employees organizing this effort to bring supplies to those in need. Chris & Tabitha Davis , Cassie Florez , Daniel Rodriguez, SHRM-CP and Ross Horner.

Besides this being an amazing story; one that deserved its own post, there was talk of (at least) five other projects that will tell the story of rural perseverance and community excellence in Humboldt. And I have nowhere to tell these stories. What will it take for people to invest in rural content again? Because that is what it is; an investment of time and resources into ensuring these stories get told. I've heard over and over again in the past two years that there's no money for freelancing, but how else are organizations creating a strong news stream for their communities? We need more local content.

It's heartwarming to see the Shoprite Mobile Soup Kitchens in action, providing warm meals to those in need during these challenging weather conditions in the Western Cape. Your dedication to serving communities in WC is truly commendable. #ActForChange Your efforts are an example of compassion and community spirit. Keep up the great work!

This initiative to donate breakfast items to FareShare UK in partnership with Arla Foods UK is commendable and addresses a crucial need for vulnerable and disadvantaged populations. However, it's important to critically examine the impact of such donations in the broader context of addressing food insecurity. While immediate relief is provided, long-term solutions to systemic issues of poverty and inequality should also be considered. Additionally, assessing the sustainability and scalability of such partnerships is essential to ensure lasting impact beyond the immediate donation.

⭐ A Simple Way to Decrease Expenses for Your NonProfit - Part 1 ⭐ While talking with one of my clients, they told me about how a local pizzeria donated pizza to them once a week during one of their group sessions they had with children. They explained the pizzeria loved what they were doing for the community and wanted to contribute by donating pizza. The non-profit was very grateful as it was one less expense they didn’t have to worry about. There are other businesses who’s willing to do the same, they just need to be aware of your non-profit. These types of donations are not only limited to food, but they can also be supplies, equipment, and even services. As a result, businesses feel good knowing they helped the community. Additionally, when their products and services are used, they have their name on it, providing them with marketing and name recognition. So, the next time you are making a purchase from a business, tell them about your organization. 🙂

We are getting really low on dishes! If you're looking to get rid of kitchen items, please donate them M-F 9am-4pm or Saturday 9am-noon. #mission605 #makinghousesintohomes #nonprofitlife #nonprofitorganization #nonprofit #501c3nonprofit #southdakota #southdakotalife #siouxfalls #siouxfallssd #sleeptight605 #repurpose #reuse #recycle #upcycle #donate #donation #blessed #blessing
