The final of 5 charity merger blogs by Steve Chu summarises merger recommendations specifically for federated charities. Federated charities have to balance the dynamics of maximising impact, effectiveness and efficiency of a shared brand across the entire country, whilst respecting the local independence and decision-making of local charities to respond to local needs. What impact does this have on the dynamics for merger processes? Read the full findings here: https://lnkd.in/eUF6WCeE #charitymerger #federatedcharities

Gatekeepers in media are always looking for ways to attack our #cities and #counties as this piece illustrates. Some key lessons: (1) The person who reported these well intentioned people was not identified or interviewed; (2) The City was given zero airtime to share their side of the story (which is in essence- we have an obligation to follow up when a citizen files a complaint; how the city would love to find a solution and help enhance this fundraiser; etc etc) (3) Most importantly- note that AP is using vertical (9:16) video - to create a social media story with deeper reach and more engagement versus just a standard pull from their newsfeed. This is yet another example of why Canva posts about various happenings and updates on meetings are simply not enough in a dynamic and fast changing media environment. The lesson: strong, strategic social media can combat misinformation from those seeking to make you the bad guy who shut down a little kid and his ice cream stand.

𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗼𝗼𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀... When I was young there were just a handful or so it seemed. Our economy was less mature then and many businesses just hadn't been educated around being 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘧𝘶𝘭 of taking up a cause. There are some 𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀 out there... Logos that stand out ("𝗥 𝘂 𝗢𝗞" springs to mind) and newer charities that bring awareness to problems I/we didn’t even know existed... ...and even charities that come with 𝗥𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲𝘀! So why 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗙𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 - for 2024? → They get 𝗺𝗮𝘅𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗺 𝗱𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 with (over the last 5 years) 𝟳𝟮% making it into the community programs. This gives me 𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥. → In a time when 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 wants to do everything for us, it seems 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 to aim to get money back into the system from the "𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝗽." Small business operators will understand this. And it was 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 that led 𝟯𝘅 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝗻𝘆𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 people to create the charity. → 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, a keystone for young individuals—and 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 can make one of the 𝗯𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀—and in turn, I am guessing one of the 𝗯𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲. → Oh, and it was the 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁-𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸/hours that I ever did (from memory). After making a 𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 (𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭), please let me know in the comments which charity you support and why—𝗜 𝗮𝗺 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 to know. https://lnkd.in/gpApcK4D
