$65 million can change lives. But HOW you use it matters most. MacKenzie Scott's recent donation to LISC is a game-changer.

The Power of Giving: A Human Connection In a world where most things are fast-paced and self-centered, the act of giving stands out as a beacon of humanity and connection. Giving is not just about material gifts; it's about sharing time, offering support, and spreading kindness. It is a fundamental aspect of what makes us human, allowing us to connect with one another on a deeper level. When we give, we create ripples of positivity that extend far beyond the immediate recipient. For instance, a simple gesture like lending a listening ear to a friend in need can foster a sense of belonging and emotional well-being. These small acts of generosity can transform someone's day and, often, their outlook on life. #GiveBack #SpreadKindness #PayItForward #Charity #ActsOfKindness #DonateForGood #SupportLocal #HelpOthers #GivingCommunity #Philanthropy #MakeADifference

With the start of November, Giving Tuesday is just a few weeks away—and for many organizations, it’s one of the most important days of the year. 🌍 It’s a powerful reminder that not everyone is being asked to give—and the opportunity to engage is more significant than we may think. GivingPulse data from 2023 shows that 55% of donors in the first three quarters and 47% in the fourth don’t recall being asked to give. Even more compelling, 9% of people who weren’t asked would have donated if they had been (GivingTuesday.com). This shows that “donor fatigue” isn’t just about being asked too often but about delivering a message that genuinely resonates. Giving Tuesday is an ideal time to reach out with clear, impactful ways for supporters to make a difference. For nonprofits, this day is an invaluable opportunity to inspire new and ongoing generosity! #GivingTuesday #DonorEngagement #NonprofitSupport #Generosity #Philanthropy

Today is GivingTuesday, a global day dedicated to generosity and community impact! While some may refer to this as “giving back,” I prefer to simply say “giving.” Because giving isn’t about making up for something—it’s about showing gratitude, empathy, and commitment to creating a better world. It’s about stepping up because we can and because we should. Last year, Giving Tuesday saw an incredible $3.1 billion donated worldwide, a powerful reminder of how impactful we are when we come together for causes that matter. From supporting education to advancing equity to funding vital healthcare initiatives, these contributions are shaping brighter futures. Today, U Krewers are donating their time at Kids In Distress (KID) and still have the chance to adopt one of 1500 children through our annual Angel Tree supporting nonprofits across the country such as The Wish Project, KID, Children's Harbor, Inc., Community Teamwork, and more!
