As we wrap up National Volunteer Week (April 21 – 27), it's important to recognize all the individuals who help charities through their generous donations of time. It's estimated that 60+ million people volunteer more than 4 billion hours annually. While many are motivated to volunteer, we sometimes hit roadblocks or challenges to achieve this objective. Among them is finding the “extra” time to donate. Overcome this and other barriers by considering the following tips when making a volunteer choice: https://bit.ly/3Wo1asO #community #BBB

@thinkclynk makes it so easy to support your community. Got a bunch of bottles & cans kicking around after your holiday gathering? Drop them at Clynk and donate the money to Maine Needs. 🍾There are a couple of ways to do this: Swing by Maine Needs & pick up some pre-tagged Clynk bags. Fill them up and drop off at your nearest Clynk. Log onto your Clynk account. Click on 'Donations'. You can choose to donate part or all of your current balance. You can also enroll to automatically convert your bags tags to Maine Needs tags. When you drop off using your own tags, the money from the bag will be automatically transferred into the Maine Needs account. It's a super simple, set-it-and-forget-it way to support our work all year round. In the past four years, you've raised $13,868 for Maine Needs through Clynk. it truly adds up! maineneeds.org

For us to learn more and to be confident in any recommendations we make to policy makers and funders about funding flows for charities working with the criminal justice system, we need further data. Since kicking off the project in summer 2024, NPC (New Philanthropy Capital) have made good headway in exploring funding flows to criminal justice charities. 📋This survey, which closes on 31 January, will help us understand how support this research, and get a better idea of funding for smaller charities, which we know less about. The survey should take 10 minutes to complete. Learn more and share your views. https://ow.ly/4a4o50UK4WX

As the TRAPS Finance Chair, I'm encouraging everyone to take a minute to donate to the TRAPS CARE campaign. We only have 15 days left, and we need your help to reach our goal - even if it's only $5 or $10 bucks. Every dollar you donate helps TRAPS provide the connections, resources, advocacy, and education (CARE) to continue building the skills and knowledge of parks and recreation professionals, directly translating into enhanced services for our Texas communities. I will personally contribute $1 for every person who donates. No need to tell me the amount of your donation, just DM me or put "done" in the comments so I will know how many people donated. Here’s a few examples of how your donation creates positive change: $10-$25: provides educational resources to keep professionals at the forefront of their field. $50: supports TRAPS scholarships for parks and recreation professionals and students to attend conferences, workshops and professional development courses. $100: helps fund the creation of toolkits and materials to educate policymakers for better park funding. $250: supports TRAPS accredited professional development courses, enabling members to bring innovative ideas to their local communities. $500: contributes to providing annual subscriptions to industry publications and online resources, advancing professional capabilities and community services. $1,000 and Above: supports statewide workshops, maintenance rodeos, networking opportunities, awards, and other opportunities to bring our members together.
