Texas Hospital Association’s Post

We have chosen Ty Hafan to be our Charity this year.👏🏻 We are excited to work closely with Ty Hafan to really make a difference. 🙌🏻 Some information on this wonderful charity Ty Hafan: “Every day, thousands of families in Wales live with the unimaginable reality of knowing their child’s life will be short. Too many families face this without any care or support. They are alone, afraid and isolated. Tŷ Hafan’s ambition is that when a child’s life will be short, no family should have to live it on their own. Imagine a Wales where every child has access to the services they need, where they need them, when they need them. A Wales where families have a choice about the care and support they receive. A Wales where no family faces the death of their child isolated, afraid or alone. At Tŷ Hafan, we don’t just imagine this, we believe in it.” Please follow Tyhafan & support them! . . . #chosencharity #supportingcharity #makingadifference #fundraisingcampaign #fundraisingforacause #accountancyfirm #accountantslife #accountants

It was great to be back at the Chartered Institute of Fundraising's Convention at the Queen Elizabeth Centre this week. There were so many inspirational sessions about how charity fundraisers are striving and innovating to raise vital funds for their charities. A few highlights included: 💵 A panel discussion on navigating the cost of living crisis chaired by Rob Cope MInstF(Dip). In summary: greater demand for charity services x decreasing donations x budget gaps = an incredibly challenging fundraising landscape! 🕵♀️ A really helpful and practical session on how to conduct donor due diligence and create a gift acceptance policy. Key tips included taking a consistent approach to all major donors and developing research checklists and report templates to speed up the process. ✉ A talk on how to deal with 'shrinking databases' and maximise the number of supporters a charity can contact. Some charities have tried to combat this issue by moving a way from a consent based model for direct marketing and using legitimate interest where possible. I'm already looking forward to next year's Convention! #FundraisingFridays

I am really looking forward to working with the panel to help decide who enters the Charity Hall of Fame! Charity Hall of Fame celebrates the most impactful changemakers, preserving their incredible stories to ignite the passion of tomorrow’s social innovators. Community Impact: For those who've made a big difference in their field, especially in service settings, whether by helping people directly, bringing communities together, or driving significant community change. Social Pioneers: For those - such as social leaders or founders - who were the first to tackle an issue or bring about change in their field or community. Justice & Equality: For campaigners or policymakers who have worked hard to fight inequality or injustice, leading to changes in laws, policies, or to raising awareness. Philanthropy: For outstanding funders and donors who have made significant changes through their donations or funding, supporting causes in innovative or collaborative ways. We’re including donors of time, skills and resources in this category too. Does this sound like someone you know, or know of.. if so please do put them forward.

👉🏻News Update: Montana is set to increase oversight on nonprofit hospitals to ensure they provide community benefits in exchange for their tax-exempt status. New rules will require these hospitals to report their charitable acts, yet specifics on acceptable giving are still being defined. 🏥 This move aligns with a national trend to enforce transparency and accountability. #Healthcare #Montana #CommunityCare #NonprofitHospitals

👇 Updated Guidance for Trustees from the Charity Commission 👇 The Charity Commission has updated its decision-making guidance to encourage more trustees to read it. The new version of CC27 is shorter and uses simpler language, as research indicated that trustees were not using the previous version effectively. The legal requirements and expectations remain unchanged, but the guidance is now more concise and takes about 12 minutes to read. The updated guidance, includes seven principles from court rulings and addresses areas where charities have struggled, such as collective decision-making and recording trustee decisions. Trustees are generally confident in decision-making but uncertain about some aspects. #Shropshire #Community #CharityGuidance
