#GivingTuesday is an important day for nonprofits. It's one where they not only receive a lot of donations (which are needed to continue to do the work they set out to do) but also a way to highlight how people in the local community can participate in their mission beyond financial support. We love to partner with organizations doing work that aligns with our company values. Dana N., our founder, shares a little bit about her background and our why and shares a few organizations we love.

I’m really in awe to see so many wealthy women organizing and chairing events for Hawai’i (*insert group*) for Harris. It got me thinking- how powerful it could be to also focus on increasing the involvement of diverse women in local politics right here in Hawai’i. In the lead-up to this year's primary elections, female candidates raised an average of $23,492, while men raised twice as much. The largest gap between male and female candidates was in individual contributions, where women raised only 23% of total individual donations. There’s a strong focus on advocating for a female president but it raises the question: how do you address the treatment of women in leadership positions within your own local community? Within your organization? High-profile advocacy is very demure, very classy… But I hope the commitment for progress isn’t just a trend/ cause du jour but something that sticks and drives lasting impact, both nationally and locally.

March is International Women’s Month at the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina (the Food Bank) during which we are shining the spotlight on how food insecurity impacts women. https://lnkd.in/eJTsb5Z5 According to the USDA’s most recent data on food insecurity, 12.8% of U.S. households experienced food insecurity in 2022. https://lnkd.in/emDPnhTi Single women with children accounted for 24.3% of these households, while women living alone accounted for 13.2%. These numbers are higher for women of color. On Thursday, March 14, thanks to generous supporters, donations to our International Women’s Month initiative will be tripled. Which means tomorrow only, instead of $1 providing 5 meals, a $1 donation will provide 15 meals. A donation on International Women’s Month Triple Day sends a powerful message of support and empowerment to women in our community.

We all know that giving back isn’t just about donations—it's about the power of collective action. Melinda French Gates often reflects on how her childhood shaped her value of helping others, and how that sense of responsibility drives her work today. In these times, when so many are feeling isolated or stressed, supporting causes that matter can deepen our connections and help combat those feelings. ❤️ Melinda is leading by example through her partnership with Every.org and Pivotal. They are matching up to $1 million in donations for the Vote Mama Foundation and The Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers. These organizations are vital in supporting women caregivers, a group that is often overlooked but essential to our communities. But let’s be clear—there are many ways to give back! Whether it’s your time, expertise, or just your voice, you can make a meaningful impact. Together, we can build stronger communities and empower women to thrive. If you're passionate about making a difference, take action today. Learn how to get involved and contribute to the causes that align with your values. Every little bit counts.
