🌍 Giving Generously, Giving Wisely 🌍 Arizona, the state I call home, ranked 49th in the latest WalletHub study on generosity. Having worked in and with the nonprofit sector for a few decades, we never let a number define what's possible! Across the U.S., we are a giving nation, with $560 billion donated to charity in 2023, and more than half of it coming directly from individuals - people like YOU. That’s something to celebrate and build on for #GivingTuesday tomorrow. This year, Earth Gives was invited into the #GivingTuesday family and we are thrilled to be using the EarthGives.org platform to showcase more than 100 nonprofits from across the United State focused on urgent needs: climate action, environmental stewardship, and the fight against pollution - air, water, plastic and beyond. These issues affect us all—yet only 2% of all generosity goes to climate and the environment, and only 0.5% to climate justice. The people behind these issues work to protect the water you drink or fish in, the food you eat, the education your kid gets on the environment, the biodiversity we need to live on a habitable planet. At EarthGives.org, you will find one stop shopping experience to explore and support more than 100 incredible nonprofits making an impact. Let's take a lesson from the most charitable states in the U.S.—Wyoming, Utah, and Minnesota. 💚 This GivingTuesday find your cause. Because generosity isn’t just about what we give—it’s about what we protect for future generations. #GivingTuesday #EarthGives #ClimateAction #EnvironmentalStewardship Better than #CyberMonday

PCT update! 🥾 Riordan just passed 700 miles and has entered the Sierra Nevada! This week, he’s reflecting on activism and action during his time on the trail. Read on for some of his experience, and head to this page to learn more and donate: https://lnkd.in/gmk6jnZf “One of the beautiful things about Activism is that there isn't much of a rule book. Sure, there are strategies that might be more effective than others. But, what it really comes down to is one's genuine desire to make a positive impact. By combining this genuine desire with one of your passions, you are effectively joining together different communities in an organic way. As they grow, so does the opportunity for fundraising, idea sharing, and the potential to make a meaningful difference. Whatever your mission might be, it's important to take the leap and start sharing your story with others. You might be surprised by who is willing to listen! “ #SierraNevadaAlliance #SierraNevada #SavetheSierra #Sierra #Conservation #Stewardship #Community #Environment #Activism #ClimateAction #ClimateJustice #ClimateChange #Adventure #PacificCrestTrail #AlchemyLab #ProjectPCT Riordan Cicciu

Climb 4 Climate is far more than a fund raising trek for ecological restoration in the Western Ghats. It is about realising how fragile we have made our environment and how critical it has become now to take an active role in nurturing it.  It is about realising that Climate Change is already inside the door and each and every one of us needs to take an active role in reversing it. It is about realising that this is not a problem that someone else will solve, but, all of us have to be part of the solution. It is about inclusiveness and engaging everyone as we go along. It is about creating stewardship and leadership among local communities to nurture the young forests that we are creating. It is about celebrating the grasses, the insects, the birds, the reptiles, the mammals and realising how privileged we are to be part of the complex web of life on Earth. ... and above all, it is about making choices that heal the Earth ! #ecologicalrestoration #westernghats

Today is Giving Tuesday—a day dedicated to making an impact. It is not just about donations; it’s about giving organizations the boost they need to keep driving meaningful change. Many nonprofits rely on the generosity of this day to bridge critical funding gaps. Often, these donations carry them through the first two months of the year—when grant applications are being prepared, but funds have yet to arrive. This year, I’m urging you to consider supporting Our Climate. Here’s why: We 100% focused on youth in frontline communities. Our mission is clear: empower youth to use their voices for sustainable, meaningful change. Let’s be real—millennials and Gen Xers like me - We have played a part in creating the climate crisis that Gen Z now has to tackle head-on. Supporting organizations like Our Climate is a great step toward correcting that narrative. When you donate, you’re giving youth the tools, skills, and encouragement they need to advocate for a better future—and to know that generations before them are standing by their side. What’s one cause you’re passionate about this Giving Tuesday? Let’s uplift each other and the organizations shaping our world for the better. #GivingTuesday #OurClimate #Sustainability #YouthEmpowerment Onwards and upwards - Asante, C.K.M

In a world where Gen Z has become the loneliest generation, even more so than the elderly, publishers and creators are often creating with the pursuit of cracking the algorithm top of mind, and more often than not, our social feeds are optimised for outrage and addiction rather than peace and unity. You have to question whether this is where we all want to be! Come and be part of the solution on WeAre8.  #weare8 #peoplesplatform #lovenohate
