FightMND is an official charity partner of the AFL – we’ve been standing with FightMND from day one to help create and shape the Big Freeze we all know and love.
In the lead up to the Big Freeze 10, our AFL team in Melbourne came together to show their support for this important cause and recognise the amazing efforts of Neale Daniher and his incredible team over the past 10 years.
A special thanks to the inspiring Charlie Oates and Dr Bec Sheean, Director of Research and Programs at FightMND, who shared their moving experiences.
You can fight the Beast and help FightMND raise $3M by Monday by donating here: https://fightmnd.org.au/#BigFreeze10#TeamUpForBF10

I focus on authenticity, empowerment, the origins and consequences of trauma and abuse, manipulation, and healing from the many challenging personal lived experiences that have shaped me. Founder of Wanderer's Way.
I'm curious about the terms of the Decult Charitable Trust, including details like the non-charitable income beneficiaries, the duration of the trust before its funds are released to a fully formed nonprofit organization, the specific charity or nonprofit it benefits, and the percentage of the trust’s annual income paid as taxable income to non-charitable beneficiaries, if any. Given the prevalence of fraud in the nonprofit sector, I prioritize supporting causes that demonstrate integrity and transparency, managed by well-intentioned individuals.
Wanderer’s Way established a trust, but a US Charitable Remainder Trust in October 2023. Though this allows for a tax deduction for donors, it differs from direct donations to a charitable organization. To avoid misleading anyone about how their contributions are managed, I have not publicized the Wanderer’s Way CRT. Most Charitable Remainder Trusts reserve donations for a nonprofit for 20 years, delaying the nonprofit's access to these funds while 5%-50% of the annual income earned from the investment of the assets donated to a Charitable Remainder Trust are distributed out to the non-charitale income beneficiaries named in the trust as ordinary and taxable income during the 20 years the Charitable Remainder Trust is in effect.
If the assets donated to a Charitable Remainder Trust are well-invested, it is the non-charitable income beneficiaries who will benefit from the trust's earnings over its typical 20-year term. This is why proper donor education, governance, independant third-party oversight, and records transparency are crucial.
I fully support Decult’s mission and purpose but advocate for rigorous third-party oversight. My inquiry is not meant to undermine your efforts; I recognize the challenges faced by those working to address the world’s most egregious wrongs. I'm committed to charitable oversight and transparency, having seen abuses of charitable tax laws. My aim is to support organizations and professionals that tackle trauma, abuse, mental health, and anti-cult/anti-coercion issues ethically and compassionately.
I'm equally dedicated to protecting charity's sanctity as I am to aiding global healing from trauma and abuse. Wanderer’s Way is committed to governance, oversight, and transparency, ensuring our dedication to our cause and the public's understanding of our operations and resource use.
To me, charity is a Heavenly grace, one that I am fully dedicated and determined to protect with the upmost integrity.
Could you please provide full access to the trust document and all amendments? Making these documents public would be a reasonable step towards fostering trust and transparency, aligning with the trust's purpose and the confidence you aim to instill in your supporters and the broader community.
Once more, I remain unwaveringly dedicated and fully supportive of Decult’s mission and purpose. My goal is to foster equally strong confidence in its leadership.

Some wonderful news to share: The Decult Trust is now officially a charity!
You can already make a tax-deductible donation - or check out the sponsorship options. Every dollar for our fledgling non-profit counts to bring cult education and cult recovery therapy to Aotearoa New Zealand at the first DECULT 2024 conference in Ōtautahi Christchurch this October.

At Takk, we believe in taking concrete steps to support the causes we care about. That's why we introduced the +1 program.
It's a simple yet powerful concept: for every donation our team members make to a charity, Takk matches it. This initiative is our way of putting our commitment into practice, not just in words but in actual actions.
In 2023, we doubled the impact on 14 different charities through this program. It's a small step, but one we're proud of.
We also hope it might inspire other companies to consider similar initiatives!
Collectively, we can make a significant difference.

Check out the latest blog post discussing the topic of "Dessin de Jissey Electrique." This thought-provoking article from December 26, 2023, delves into the concept of charity. When an officer's car breaks down on the street, is it truly charitable to start a fundraiser for a new outfit?

As 2023 draws to an end, we are digging into the data we gathered, and have identified the three most popular themes on our LinkedIn page. It gives us a clear indication of what we need to focus on in 2024, so thank you for engaging with us.
The second most popular theme was #Sponsorship - the initiatives we have been proud to support. Many of these posts called for your support too, and you all stepped up to the mark. Thank you 🙏
So to recap this theme, here's the top performing post in this theme.

If you're a small charity, it'd be brilliant if you could spare a few minutes of your precious time to complete this survey on what the future of infrastructure support for small charities should look like ⬇
It's your chance to explain what topics/themes are most important for your org, how your needs have changed over time, and how support should be structured and costed.
This will not only help to shape the future of small charity infrastructure support, it'll also help the sector to build a stronger case for support for why this is needed. This is vital, because, at present, infrastructure support is hugely underfunded.
Here's the survey link: https://lnkd.in/e6Uz5QEe

In union there is strength. 💪
That’s understood by those charities who, despite various challenges, find a way to stand together and collaborate on a shared problem.
Task forces are one such way for charities to work together. They may be formed because charities want to co-ordinate their efforts to achieve the same goal, or because they are all experiencing the same fundamental or recurring challenge.
In this article, we explore how to run a successful task force, from involving the right people to organising action.
