Such an incredible milestone... Over the past 8 years, I've spent most of my time on initiatives that reduce the cost of financial advice and services so more people can access them. This is a 💯 example of how software is making that a reality. It's also why we've built Estately specifically for financial advisors and their clients right on top of the most used estate planning software in the US.

#SERACS Ltd is pleased to announce the establishment of our corporate foundation, #SERACS_Foundation. Since 2009, we have been extending support to churches and pastors on an ad hoc basis under the main organization - SERACS Ltd. However, in 2023, we took a significant step by formally incorporating the Foundation. This move has enabled us to establish a separate entity that will now focus on managing our community support initiatives such as donations, charitable works, and capacity-building trainings. The Foundation’s philosophy revolves around people, with a mission to empower and strengthen Christian churches and ministries. We achieve this by offering donations of Bibles, financial assistance, training, and other essential supports to pastors, ministers, priests, and church leaders not only within our project areas but also across PNG. Our primary vision is to catalyze positive transformations in people's lives through our programs, donations, training, and charitable endeavors. These efforts are anchored in four fundamental pillars: #Spiritual_Enhancement, #Partnership_Development, #Community_Support, and #Capacity_Development_and_Training.

This #GivingTuesday please join me in helping Team Rubicon Canada Bring Hope Home for communities recovering from disasters.   As the holidays approach and I eagerly await having my kids home for their winter breaks, I'm thinking about the families in Jasper who lost their homes last summer. I knew about Team Rubicon's work through my husband Geordie's involvement, but it was my first mission as a Greyshirt in early September - helping families find precious items and gain closure amid devastating loss - that really brought it to life for me.   Team Rubicon's veteran and "kick ass civilian" Greyshirt volunteers bring hope to families in a way that is different from other humanitarian organizations. A lot of their work relates to people's homes - providing safe access during blizzards, removing debris following floods, bringing much-needed resources and helping people find cherished items and offering closure to communities impacted by wildfires, like the families we supported in Jasper.   Team Rubicon Canada volunteers are doing just that - volunteering - they just need enough people to donate so they can mobilize volunteers and resources to help when and where they are most needed. (Team Rubicon Canada's impact on the ground is a vital complement to the services provided by the larger, older, better known humanitarian charities - whose name recognition and marketing budgets drive disaster-related donations that may even exceed their budgets; a great reason to support Team Rubicon Canada this year!)   If you were looking for a #humanitariancharity where your donation will make a pivotal difference this #GivingTuesday, please consider donating to Team Rubicon Canada. Every donation makes a difference.   #bringhopehome #humanitarianresponse #disasterrecovery

“You see, the premise is all wrong. Nonprofits mistakenly think that the student, homeless, rainforest, family, etc. are their customers. Your clients or causes are not customers…they got no money. Successful nonprofits understand that donors are the object of their mission, and must be served before people in need.” -Jimmy LaRose #fundraising #nonprofit #philanthropy #NonprofitExecutiveTraining #NANOECertification #FundraisingExpert #ContinuingEducation
