More and more, research indicates that one of the keys to success in social impact is mindset. 🧠 Impact mindset is the belief that what a person thinks about themselves impacts their success or future. Across industries, companies are using a social impact mindset to build differentiated products, explore new markets, secure a sustainable supply chain, attract and retain millennial talent, or transform once-contentious regulatory relationships. 🤝 Discover how your company can creative positive change and make an impact: https://bit.ly/4dXKVsy

Gen Z doesn’t see big differences between nonprofits and companies – but they do care deeply about trust, authenticity, and making a real difference. ✨   They are looking for partners – in the form of their employer – to transform the world. 🌎 They are looking for corporations that invest in their community, that match their donations to charitable causes, and that recognize the importance of community volunteering.   As Co-Chair of The Generosity Commission, Blackbaud CEO, Mike Gianoni shares the importance of business and nonprofit collaboration, via Giving USA Foundation: bit.ly/3Tprr82

Most of us are dealing with finances each day. 💰 Whether, you're paying bills or paying for lunch, your understanding of money is reflected in every financial decision. Here are some eye-opening statistics from the United States for you to think to about ⬇️

Stronger, more resilient communities are created when we come together. ✨   Together with the The NFL Foundation, the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Kansas City International Academy community, we celebrated the National Football League (NFL) Kickoff with a day focused on key components of the Character Playbook program - respect, kindness, healthy communication, and gratitude.    After a panel discussion, students broke into small groups where they had the opportunity to write hand-written thank you notes to someone they'd like to show gratitude towards. Notes went to their teachers, principal, and peers. 🗒️   The day wrapped up with an incredible moment of gratitude; students presented their teachers with a donation by Microsoft - tickets to the 2024 NFL Kickoff game!  🎉

The number of states that have mandated financial education has more than tripled since 2008. 👏 However, these mandates often come without the necessary funding to support implementation, leaving schools to shoulder the financial burden of curriculum development, teacher training, and resources. This is where the private sector can step in to make a real impact! ✨ For example, engaging with Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs in highschools offers a direct path for organizations to get involved through critical financial education, volunteering, or mentorship that prepares the next generation for success. EVERFI partners with schools across the country to provide high-quality, no-cost resources, reaching nearly 6 million students annually. Together, EVERFI and organizations can bridge this gap in financial and workplace readiness. Learn how: https://bit.ly/4gfMTpY #FinancialLiteracy #CTE #PrivateSectorSupport #EVERFI
