𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐌𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐲’𝐬 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐞 With only four apartments available, our selection process is rigorous. Our selection criteria prioritizes families committed to change, ensuring that our limited resources make a lasting impact: ✅ Self-Elimination: Some families intentionally seek alternative housing, removing themselves from consideration. ✅ Criminal Offense Nature: Violent offenses against children or the elderly disqualify individuals. However, most other offenses can be considered with the right context. ✅ Willingness for Change: A critical requirement is the mother's genuine desire to change. Without this commitment, we run the risk of being just another housing program, which we strive not to be. Our process is inclusive and does not discriminate based on race, color, creed, national origin, or religious preference. We seek families ready to embrace change, allowing for meaningful support and lasting transformation. If you know families that could benefit from our program or want to get involved, please reach out to Mercy’s Shore. Together, we can create a brighter future for those in need! #NonProfitOrganization #CommunitySupport #TransformingLives #Philanthropy

There is still time to register for this very powerful and informative training. Thank you Catie White, CFRE for provding us with this amazing opportunity to learn. Trauma-Informed Care is a lens in which we interact with our communities to best support their healing and needs. Tenants of trauma-informed care include safety, trustworthiness, choice, collaboration, and empowerment. Applying these tenants to the fundraising space helps empower fundraisers to build a stronger communications and language that works to include donors in the work of justice and healing. Learning objectives will include how to craft narratives that center lived experience without othering or trivializing lived experience, how to practically apply trauma-informed principles to our work, and how to engage donors in the process of trauma-informed systems that lead to healthier philanthropic interactions and stronger community ties.

The Imprint's annual project Who Cares: A National Count of Foster Homes and families is the nation’s first public resource on foster care capacity. The Imprint collects data directly from each state, and combines that with specially obtained federal reports to shed light on two critical questions: How many kids are in #fostercare today? And where are they living? This data collection project takes countless hours of submitting records requests and doing in-depth research. We can't continue this without your support. Will you consider making a donation today so we can continue to provide this important and informative data?

This #GivingTuesday, Arcfield is thrilled to announce the launch of our Community Giving Microgrant Program. This program empowers employees to nominate local organizations for funding within communities where our team lives and works. In our inaugural effort, we’re proud to have awarded $1,000 microgrants to 20 well-deserving organizations that are dedicated to creating positive change. Here are the organizations we’ve had the privilege of supporting this year: Epilepsy Foundation, Shelter House, Inc., KinderMourn, Food & Friends, NMDP, AdoptAClassroom.org, Athletics United, Edu-Futuro, Foundation Fighting Blindness, Society of Women Engineers, Sasha Bruce Youthwork, Community Fruit Rescue, Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, Operator Relief Fund, AliveAndKickn, LAWS Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault Services , Dulles South Food Pantry, Inc. , Little Shop of Physics, and Southwestern Oregon Veterans Outreach. We believe small contributions can create big ripples, and we’re excited to help amplify the amazing work of these employee-nominated organizations. #GivingTuesday #CommunityImpact #ArcfieldCares #WeAreArcfield

Ok - so you may be one of those people who saw all the #GivingTuesday posts and thought it would be good to support them but ended up not doing anything. Well, I have great news for you - today can be #Ididnotletanotheropportunitypass day! And I have even better news - you can do it and get 100% of your donation back! I am talking about supporting one of the amazing Foster Care Organizations in Georgia by making a donation through the Fostering Success Act Tax Credit. As long as you are a Georgia taxpayer, you can be approved (it just takes a few minutes) and make a donation then get 100% of the money back when you file your taxes in 2025. Below is a link to the Goshen Valley website (the Foster Care Organization I support) which has an easy to follow, step-by-step instructions on how to take advantage of this. When you go to the State of Georgia website you will see the other 38 approved FCO's if you want to find one in your area. These organizations depend on our support - and the donations from the tax credit are a GAME CHANGER for them! So there it is...will you let another opportunity go by or will you take a few minutes and change lives for the better? For those of you that support this post, please like or share and help get the word out. Let's make today #Ididnotletanotheropportunitypass day!
