GBGH Foundation’s Post

I have been working at Marrickville Legal Centre for 9 years and have never witnessed the type of demand for our services that we are experiencing now. Conditions are hard out there and they're becoming increasingly harder for those that are already struggling. We have an amazing group of staff and volunteers who go above and beyond to try to meet this need but sadly, like many community legal centres, we do not have the resources to help everyone. This isn't fair. People should be able to engage effectively with our justice system irrespective of their level of income. This is why we launched the Low Bono Legal Service (LBLS) in 2020. The LBLS service model offers affordable fixed-fee representation for those who cannot afford private lawyers but are ineligible to access free legal support. Since its inception, the LBLS has assisted 364 clients, recovering $3.4 million in entitlements. The fees generated through this service have enabled MLC to employ an additional lawyer, which means we can help more people. We are also working closely with Women's Legal Service QLD, the EDO and Microsoft Gold Partner, Barhead Solutions, to develop a new legal practice management system called Consensus for Purpose. Built on Microsoft’s Dynamics 365, Consensus for Purpose will streamline the entire client journey and reduce the administrative burden through automation and AI. This will free up our limited resources to focus on legal work and speed up the process for those needing help. These projects capture the innovative culture at MLC that is forever exploring new ways to help more people. We will never receive enough funds from government or donations to meet demand, which is why we need to be more creative in how to do more with less. This year we’re asking for donations to help advance these projects. Every dollar donated to MLC goes further, ensuring that more individuals receive the legal support they desperately need. Your tax-deductible donation will not only make a difference in the lives of those MLC serves but also helps drive the innovation needed to bridge the justice gap in Australia.   We’ve had a very generous offer to match every donation up to the value of $10,000. All donations received through to 30 June will be matched dollar-for-dollar, so your impact will be doubled!   Please consider donating to Marrickville Legal Centre today by heading to mlc.org.au/donate

FAQ: How much of my donation is received by my designated project? Each donation is assessed a flat 5% administrative fee. If the donation is by credit card a 3% card processing charge is assessed prior to assessing the administrative fee. We do our best to keep overhead and expenses low so funds can get where they are needed; directly to the project.

Here’s how it works: TimeBidders request meetings, make a donation, and meet with TimeGivers. TimeGivers offer their time, select charities, and make a difference. It’s that simple! https://lnkd.in/ekQBa2Rv #SimpleImpact #TimeToGive

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a third-party entity established to manage charitable donations from individuals, families, and organizations. One significant disadvantage of a DAF is that it retains more control over the funds than the donor. While donors can offer recommendations on how the funds should be used, the final decision rests with the DAF. #TuesdayTips #TipsbySandi #NonprofitLife #NonprofitAccounting #OutsourcedAccounting #NonprofitBookkeeping #NonprofitTips
