We’re excited to celebrate 28 years of We Care, a yearly event bringing holiday cheer to children across North America and now the UK. We Care brings together local design firms, MillerKnoll dealers, and non-profits like the Boys & Girls Clubs of America to help children in local communities create crafts and gifts for family members during the holiday season. We can’t wait for this year’s lineup of national events, from December 4-19.

What is the role of schools? Is it simply to educate, prepare students for exams, and ensure university placements? At AIS, we believe it’s so much more. Schools should inspire students to be compassionate global citizens, approach the world with curiosity, and ask themselves, How can I make a difference? As Nelson Mandela said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” True education doesn’t just teach—it nurtures values, builds character, and empowers students to contribute meaningfully to society. Working with Barbara Lee and her incredible mission at Child at Street 11 Ltd has been a humbling reminder of the transformative power of education. Barbara’s dedication to giving every child an opportunity to thrive and break the cycle of disadvantage is awe-inspiring. Seeing this aligns deeply with what we strive for at AIS: fostering an education that nurtures Respect, Opportunity, and Achievement for every child. A special thank you to Trent Green for leading this initiative, Farhana Suhaimi for quickly pulling together a powerful video, and our amazing Elementary School student leaders for embodying our core values: Respect: Celebrating diversity and the unique potential of every child. Opportunity: Offering avenues for growth and supporting communities through meaningful actions. Achievement: Making a tangible impact through compassion and leadership. As I witness the incredible work of our AIS teachers, I can only hope that the children at Child at Street 11 receive the same opportunity for an education that sets them on the right path. Charity begins at home, but its ripple effects can reach far beyond. Together, we can make a difference. 🌍 #EducationForChange #GlobalCitizens #AISRespectOpportunityAchievement
At AIS Elementary, we’re excited to support Child at Street 11, a wonderful organisation nurturing children from all backgrounds, through our Festive Arts & Craft Donation Drive. With our 4 houses (Lachlan, Murray, Fitzroy and Derwent), our students can each pick an item to purchase from our Festive Giving Wishlist, wrap it with care, and bring it to your classroom’s collection box. Together, let’s bring joy and spark creativity with every gift of art supplies we collect! 🗓️ When: November 11 - December 5 Let’s spread festive cheer and support the children at Child at Street 11 this holiday season! #WeAreAIS #AustralianInternationalSchool #FestiveGiving #StudentLeaders

What is Runners Pledge? 1. Get folks to move. Virtual 5k's are a low barrier to entry and something you can do with friends. 2. We donate a percentage of registration earnings to various non-profits. We are also accepting suggestions of non-profits for future 5k's. 3. Spread awareness for runner safety. More and more women are coming forward regarding the harassment they've experienced. We hope to contribute to awareness and education to communities to put a stop to senseless harassment and attacks on women runners/walker/hikers.

Building a community isn't just about growing our network; it's about working WITH the community to HELP our community. It's a beautiful thing when neighbors help neighbors. It's part of what I love about the non-profit space. #nonprofitsrock #bouldercolorado #development #communications #communitybuilding

Sounds fun…
Our Houston Area volunteers teamed up with two of our Weatherford Walks charitable partners, Small Steps Nurturing Center and PTSD Foundation Of America, and dedicated their efforts to giving back to the local community! The One Weatherford Team had a fantastic experience as they rolled up their sleeves, cleaning up classrooms at Small Steps and assisting with garden maintenance at Camp Hope. A big thank you to our volunteers who participated in these events, and to our charitable partners for hosting us. We are looking forward to Weatherford Walks 2024! #OneWeatherford #WeatherfordWalks #Community #Volunteer #GivingBack

What is the value of ”Take Your Daughter to Work Day? We think it is education and empathy, so the child knows what the parent does daily, but it is so much more. It instills lifelong work values. Meahgan Gibson attended a “Take Your Daughter to Work Day” at Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. To this day she reminds me of a few choice words I stated during a staff meeting but she also pursued a career in Leisure and Hospitality. More importantly she picked up values like; everybody is critical to success (especially the lowest paid hourly associates), every person has a story, treat people with dignity and respect, and if they have a name tag, user their name. Grow by trying new things that others shy away from. Powerful words are “thank you” and “can you help me”, and assisting others even if you do not have time. Today this was in my feed. I had no idea she was working on this. Biscuits and socks, who knew? But more importantly, a young professional (from a generation many professionals belittle) leading a project that reflects well on the brand and does good for the community. Also hats off to Dennis Pfaff, Maple Street Biscuit Company and Cracker Barrel for creating an organization culture where young professional growth occurs. Take your daughter to work and as a leader, your relationships matter more than you know. #cio #leadership
TLDR: I've been working on something pretty cool! "The Maple Street Mantra: Help People, Serve Others, Be A Part Of The Community" is why I joined the team. I'm grateful to Maple Street Biscuit Company for allowing me to take on something so near and dear to who we are. *Maple Street Silly Socks* a portion of sock sales will go directly to LifeQuest Organ Recovery Services and U.F. Health, supporting their incredible work to maximize the Gift of Life through organ and tissue donation. This is particularly meaningful because giving back has always been a big part of who I am. From working with the Miami Children's Initiative during my time at the University of Florida to my work with the Harrison County Community Foundation, I've seen firsthand the impact we can make when we come together. Your support means the world and will help create positive change in our community. P.S. The socks are pretty cool as well https://lnkd.in/gKJnfwB6

Spooky Season Alert! Don’t let the eerie silence of incoming grants spook you. If your grant program hasn’t brought in the expected funds recently, fear not. Many grant funders operate on a calendar-year cycle, and their checks often arrive like treats in your mailbox right around the holiday season. So, if your grants seem to be hiding like ghosts, remember they might be brewing in the cauldron of year-end generosity. Uncertain? Want to discuss your grant strategy? Reach out! Our team of grant wizards is here to demystify the process, cast away doubts, and help you navigate funding opportunities. Let’s brew up some grant success together! #GrantMagic #SpookySeason #NonprofitLife #OrangeDoorConsulting #community #philanthropy #nonprofitexperts
