Women in HVACR’s Post

Today is GivingTuesday: a global generosity movement, unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and their world. In times of uncertainty, there’s a fundamental truth that gives us hope – that together we can do extraordinary things. Whether that’s through donations to community organizations or assisting neighbors with everyday tasks, generosity has been making a positive impact on the world. Together, acts of kindness and compassion have been driving forces in overcoming challenges and fostering a sense of global unity.

In a season of spending, giving Tuesday is a chance to give back to organizations working to build stronger communities. I’ve had the privilege of working at I Pour Life for the past 5+ years, and in that time I’ve been amazed at the work of our LifeCoaches. Did you know an average of 1 out of every 4 youth in foster care will become homeless within 4 years of aging out of care? Approximately 25% of foster youth will be involved with the criminal legal system within 2 years of leaving foster care? 70% of girls who age out of foster care become pregnant by the age of 21? Needless to say, statistics are not in the favor of foster youth. BUT there are organizations, like I Pour Life, who are dedicated to providing hope and support for those aging out of foster care. I urge you to find an organization to give back to today, and if providing hope and support to at risk youth is something that is a piece of your passion, please consider giving to I Pour Life.

It's Giving Tuesday! What are you giving today? Did you know that Giving Tuesday began in 2012 and has grown into a global movement? You don't have to make a 6-figure donation to make a difference. Every dollar counts to help nonprofits lift up our communities, care for the vulnerable, preserve our natural resources for future generations, and foster countless programs to educate, engage, and enrich the lives of our neighbors. Just a few things your donation can help give: 🏥 relief for a family caring for a sick loved one 🐶 a warm space for a dog or cat in a shelter 🍎 a meal for someone in your community 🌿 green spaces, clean air and water 📖 a new book for a young child ✨ hope, joy, kindness, love Whether it's your time through volunteering, your support in the form of a monetary donation, or your voice is raising awareness of critical causes and nonprofits in your area, I hope you are moved to give today. If you're in Portland and looking for inspiration, highly recommend checking out the annual GiveGuide at GiveGuide.org to find dozens of mission-driven organizations doing great work in our communities. Wishing all nonprofits a successful day of fundraising and all donors a joyous day of giving! (Just PLEASE, in the name of all that is good, do NOT scorn an incredible nonprofit just because they have "high overhead." It's all overhead, nonprofit workers deserve an affordable cost of living and resources to carry out their programs successfully too 💛 ) #GivingTuesday

Christmas is the best time for #fundraising; here’s why ⬇️ 🎄 More people donating. The spirit of goodwill around Christmas drives a surge in donations, with 30% of all annual giving happening in December alone. 🎄 Larger donation amounts. Donors are more generous at year-end. Data shows that first-time gifts in December are, on average, 52% larger compared to other times of the year. 🎄 Emotional connection. The festive season is emotionally charged, making people more inclined to support causes that resonate with them. The holidays encourage a mindset of giving back and supporting those in need. If you want to capitalize on the season's generosity, now’s the time to act. Plan your #christmasfundraiser via Silent Auction Pro.

For many churches, year-end giving is when a significant percentage of donations come in. This season not only equips churches to move forward into the next year, but also encourages donors to be generous during a specific, focused time of giving. But what makes year-end giving so impactful? And how can churches further encourage generosity during this time?
