International Charity Day is observed annually on September 5th. It was established by the United Nations in 2012 to raise awareness about the importance of charitable activities in addressing poverty, and the world's humanitarian crises. The day serves as a global reminder of the role that charity plays in fostering social and cultural solidarity and encourages individuals, communities, and organizations to support philanthropic causes. International Charity Day is a powerful reminder of the collective responsibility to uplift those in need and to contribute toward building a more equitable, compassionate world. It also emphasizes how every individual has the potential to make a positive impact through charitable actions. Ways to Get Involved: - Donate: Consider making a donation to a charity that supports causes you care about, whether local, national, or international. Even small contributions can make a difference.  - Raise Awareness: Use social media or community platforms to spread the message of International Charity Day. Share stories, data, and resources to inspire others to get involved. Do you know how many types of non-profits are in USA and what types of non-profits accept contributions?  Check out this interesting article - https://lnkd.in/euiaXTnP #interantionalcharityday,#charity,#nonprofit, #philanthropy, #donations

🚨 Nonprofits in Delaware Are at a Crossroads — Your Support Can Drive Action! 🚨 Policymakers’ decisions shape the future of nonprofits and the communities they serve. That’s why the Delaware Nonprofit Action Network (DNAN) is here—to advocate for fair funding, equitable treatment, and stronger support for the nonprofit sector. But we can’t do it without you. Why It Matters: 💡 Nonprofits are struggling to keep up with rising costs as inflation soars. 💡 Unlike for-profits, nonprofits rarely see government contract rates increase to meet demands. 💡 State spending has grown, yet funding for nonprofits hasn’t kept pace, threatening critical services. DNAN gives nonprofits a voice at the table, holding policymakers accountable and pushing for solutions that ensure Delaware’s nonprofits can continue serving their communities. This Giving Tuesday, take action: 👉 Donate today to help us amplify our advocacy efforts and fight for a stronger nonprofit sector. Every dollar fuels the change we need. 🔗https://bit.ly/3Oy08pg Together, we can ensure nonprofits are heard, valued, and supported. Thank you for standing with us! 💙 #GivingTuesday #TakeAction #SupportDENonprofits

Unrestricted Contributions: The Backbone of Charitable Impact With #GivingTuesday just a week away, we’re reflecting on the vital role unrestricted contributions play in sustaining the work of charities. Marie Dietrich, Partner at Grant Thornton LLP and Treasurer/Secretary of the Community Foundation, shares: "Unrestricted contributions allow charities to cover essential expenses like wages, office costs, and occupancy. These funds provide the flexibility to respond to emerging needs and ensure long-term sustainability." (read more here: https://buff.ly/3N61Pcy) Supporting charities you trust with unrestricted gifts empowers them to focus on their mission instead of fundraising. This Giving Tuesday, please consider making an investment in the Foundation's work to help build a vital community for everyone. https://buff.ly/3ID63pJ #GivingTuesday #UnrestrictedGiving #CommunityImpact #HereForGood #GiveWhereYouLive

At Adonis Partners, we believe that success is measured not only by what we achieve in the workplace but also by how we give back to people and their communities.    This video highlights our efforts in transforming a local school in Los Palos, Dominican Republic by building safe infrastructure and creating spaces where children can learn and play.    At our core, we are driven by a purpose: to share, serve, and create value for others. That’s why we donate over 20% of our profits annually to charities and community service organizations. We know that even the smallest action can spark meaningful change.    Altogether, giving back is not just a responsibility—it’s a principle we live by—and the work we do in communities like Los Palos reflects our belief that when we come together, we can truly make an impact.    #CommunityFirst #GivingBack #CorporateResponsibility

Strategic Planning Tips for Canadian Charities: Are You Ready for 2025 ❓ As 2025 approaches, Canadian charities are encouraged to engage in strategic planning to enhance their impact. An inclusive approach is key, involving stakeholders such as the board of directors, staff, volunteers, donors, and the community served. Each group brings valuable insights: boards shape the vision, community members highlight changing needs, and staff offer on-the-ground perspectives. Connecting with donors to understand their priorities is crucial to ensuring financial viability. While not every suggestion will make the final plan, gathering diverse input fosters a balanced strategy that builds support. ✔Visit our website to learn more: CharityLawGroup.ca #onca #PlanningTips #CanadianCharities #canada #ontario #bigcharitylawgroup
