We encourage you to use the holidays to begin, or refuel, the regular practice of giving back to community service and charitable organizations. https://lnkd.in/eTkh5efN #regularpractice #charitableorganizations #charitableorganization #givingback #communityservice

This week we have been celebrating the incredible impact of charity trustees 🌍 Trustees' Week showcases the work of Trustees who volunteer their time, energy, and expertise to help charities thrive. It’s no secret that trustee recruitment is difficult and 1 in 3 charities have trustee vacancies. Finding the right trustees can be tough, but it's essential for a resilient charity. Can you help? #TrusteeRecruitment #Rollits #TeamRollits #AwarenessWeek #TrusteeWeek #CelebrateTrustees

Today, is #NationalNonprofitDay, I want to recognize the nonprofits that are doing important work in their communities. I particularly want to turn your attention to Live To Give MN. This Corporation is organized exclusively for charitable purposes, more specifically to educate, bring awareness, provide resources, and be a positive force in the health and well-being of children, families, the poor and the infirmed, and the environment in Minnesota by providing funding, programming and other events and activities to further research and programs targeted at these communities. https://lnkd.in/g2dKJg3y

Such a shame that 4 in 5 (80%) of charities have board vacancies when being a volunteer trustee is such a rewarding role. We have helped charities use open & inclusive recruitment processes to find great trustees who had never thought about the role or hadn't applied because they believed they couldn't do it. Our blog on how charities can find the right mix of trustees, and enable them to have an impact contains useful tips and advice on trustee recruitment: https://lnkd.in/eqkB-NVK Read the NCVO research here: https://lnkd.in/esxpfFYg #TrusteesWeek #TrusteeRecruitment

Giving and receiving gifts is on the top of my love language list! When I get to unlock that gift and give gifts of thanks to donors, it makes my heart sing! Did you know that understanding love languages are an important part of customer service and donor relations? Including the concept of love languages and using it as a metric tool is a powerful tool in donor relations! #lovelanguages #donorrelations #giftgiving #customerservice #yearendgiving #donorstrategy #givingplans

📢 The Power of a Simple "Thank You" ✨️ In the world of charity and fundraising, there’s one lesson I emphasise to my team above all others: 'Never underestimate the importance of thanking our donors.' Donors are more than financial supporters—they're part of our community, united by a shared belief in our mission. When they give to us, they’re offering their trust, their hard-earned pennies, and their hope that we will turn their generosity into meaningful impact. But what happens if we don't acknowledge that? If their gift disappears into a black void of silence? The connection weakens - probably disappears. A genuine, heartfelt 'thank you' changes everything. It's not just good manners—it's transformative. When we thank our donors, we: Reinforce the relationship: They see themselves as part of our community, not just a source of funds. Highlight their impact: They know their support isn’t just noticed but is making a real difference. Encourage future giving: In my experience, I’ve seen thank-yous spark new donations—proof that appreciation goes a long way. This isn't just about retaining donors; it's about building champions for our cause. A thank-you is as powerful as an ask, and it ensures our supporters feel valued, connected, and inspired. When we thank donors, we’re not just closing the loop—we’re strengthening the bond that keeps our mission alive. To all our wonderful supporters - THANK YOU. You’re the heart of what we do and make everything that we do possible. #Fundraising #DonorRelations #Gratitude #CharityLeadership

As many of you know I represent the Arizona Professional Towing & Recovery Association. This year APTRA is trying something different for a fundraiser online. We have partnered with ZEFFY to assist us in this journey. Most of you know Towing Associations aren't government, they don't qualify for grants like the other stakeholders do. Not to say that there are grants out there, there are just not necessarily in the arena we play in. So, they run on volunteers, donations and membership to keep them operating and fund them. Unfortunately, there is not enough of all three. This is not just this association; it is most non-profit associations across the country. Donations of any amount can assist an association in their day-to-day operations. What would the donations be used for? operations, advocacy and education & training. As always out Slow Down, Move Over message is at the top of our list. I would appreciate your help during this giving season with a donation to APTRA. https://lnkd.in/gPydxHeR
