Ironically my weakness is talking about strengths. I'm not good at the humble brag, and that can impact me personally and professionally. I'm doing a disservice to my resort by not artfully "bragging" about our under the radar wins. Like any weakness, you have to start by identifying it, pay attention and find ways to turn it into a strength. So I'm starting with a humble brag about Alterra Mountain Company's Community Foundation (AMCCF); of which I am lucky enough to be a US Grant Committee member. There are lots of company's donating to organizations in their communities, but there are few that are working to directly support individuals that work for them AND people who call their communities home. AMCCF does both. You don't have to work for an Alterra resort to benefit from the more than 💲1.41 million in approved grants (so far); you just have to be passionate enough to live in the mountain communities we call home. What can I brag about this amazing foundation? 🎬 How about funding the screening of Paradise Paradox to ensure affected mountain communities learn more about the need for mental health support and how to get it 🏥 What about the $483,010 medical and health care bills covered in three years? 🏡 Or the $462,383 in Essential Living Expenses granted directly to folks in need? ⛷ 🏂 The amazing people who make up the US and Canadian Grant Committees who work diligently to ease the hardships for our friends, neighbors and coworkers. Turns out if you're involved in an amazing organization, doing big things to help the people you care about, it's not so hard to brag. If you live or work in an Alterra mountain community and needs assistance click below to apply. If you want to help people in our mountain communities, click below to donate (no matter where you live).

Giving Appreciated Real Estate can Make a big difference in your giving Strategy. Even if it isn’t for sale the ongoing rental income is considered passive and as a Charity we normally won’t pay any tax on that income. That alone could increase your giving by your effective tax rate. So if you make $100 in rental income and your effective tax rate is 20%, that’s $20 additional for the charities and churches you care about. Strategic giving is doing things a little different to maximize your giving. Why wouldn’t you want to do that! #strategy #philanthropy

We're proud to publish our first ever Saints Foundation impact report, delving into the level of support that we are providing for local people ❤️ The report finds that in the 2022/23 football season alone, 5,316 people engaged with one of our 15 charitable projects, which equates to more than 1 in 50 city residents. With around 16% of Southampton households having no money left after they pay essential bills, the need for support in deprived areas has never been greater, and that’s where we're targeting its support. Around one third of our participants live in one of the 20% most deprived areas of the country, the report reveals. 💬 Greg Baker, Saints Foundation CEO: “We’re proud to see here, in black and white, how thousands of people have made huge strides to improve their lives with our support. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the amazing Saints Foundation staff for the life-changing work they deliver day-in, day-out in our communities.” 💬 Lucy Horne, Saints Foundation Head of Impact and Insight: “As much as I hope the report makes everyone feel proud of what our participants have achieved, I also hope people find it useful for appreciating how football can help drive positive change.” Read a detailed summary of our impact or download the report in full via our website: https://lnkd.in/eBufS4W9 #impact #evaluation #report #annualreport #charity #southampton
