In a world where kindness and generosity can often seem in short supply, charitable trusts stand out as beacons of hope and compassion. Charitable trusts play a vital role in supporting communities, championing causes, and making a positive impact on the world around us.

Two weeks ago, I had the incredible experience of attending Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in Toronto. The energy was electric—thousands of fans singing in unison, creating a shared sense of connection that was both powerful and uplifting. It reminded me how transformative community can be, and how we can carry that same feeling forward by giving back to others. That’s why #GivingTuesday resonates so deeply. It’s a day to unite through generosity, to create ripples of impact that extend far beyond ourselves. At Aventiv Technologies, I’m proud of the way my colleagues leaned into this spirit of giving, finding meaningful ways to support the communities we serve. When people ask about my favorite part of working at Aventiv Technologies, my answer is always rooted in one word: connection. The power of connection drives everything we do—from building innovative solutions to providing technology that can foster opportunities for upward economic mobility when people return to their communities. And it’s this same spirit of connection that made #GivingTuesday such a standout moment this year. Moments that spark connection should remind us that we’re all part of something bigger, and the bonds we build through purpose and action are what make a difference. Let’s keep that energy alive—whether it’s on stage, in our workplaces, or out in the world. Because as Taylor Swift said “No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.” When we collaborate and reimagine connection with each other, the positive impact we create comes back around, lifting us all. https://lnkd.in/g4PyCW-u

🌟 One of the most inspiring aspects of working in a corporate environment is witnessing the commitment to social responsibility. Many organisations prioritise ongoing workplace giving, and I'm proud to be part of a team that actively contributes to the wider community and supports those in need. Every little effort counts, and it's rewarding to see how our collective actions can make a meaningful difference. How does your workplace engage in giving back?

I read a post on X about someone tying Schwab Charitable to right wing causes associated with conservative Leo Levin. I just want to note that this issue is neither particular to Schwab nor Leo Levin. This is how #DAFs work, and often how many partisan research institutes and think tanks are funded. There are plenty of policy adjacent 501(c)(3)s that masquerade as public charities — and probably should be redesignated as 501(c)(4)s. Note: The most interesting takeaway from the article might be that the 3rd largest recipient of funds from the DAF that year was $120 million to another DAF -> Fidelity Charitable®! We are subsidizing these transfers between wealth warehouses. #philanthropy #charitablegiving #nonprofits #socialimpact

A community of practice is just what it sounds like: a group of people who share a passion for something they do and who learn how to do it better by interacting regularly.

Today is International Day of Charity, and a great day to reflect on how important charitable giving can be in preserving a family legacy. Family philanthropy and charitable giving can strengthen values like empathy, responsibility, and community within a family to create a lasting impact for generations to come. By aligning with meaningful causes, families can give back, instill a sense of purpose in future generations, and demonstrate their values on a larger scale. #InternationalDayOfCharity #Charity #CharitableGiving #FamilyPhilanthropy #LegacyPlanning
