As an American Heart Association Teen of Impact, Peyton Bono broke the program’s fundraising record by securing $55,000 for the nonprofit in nine weeks. She hosted community events like a YMCA walk and art show to bring people together! When asked what motivated her to get involved in the community? She stated, "I’ve been involved and volunteering through the Highlander National Charity League Chapter since middle school, and through that organization have gained exposure to the wealth of opportunity in the Dallas area. I knew of the American Heart Association, and having had experience working with fundraising and organizing through the Bhojani campaign, I was confident I would be able to fulfill their ask of me and exceed any expectations, and this experience would allow me to share my personal story as a disabled teenager and drive awareness about heart health to my community.” Born with tricuspid atresia, Peyton’s journey with a heart condition inspired her to support the American Heart Association. This Highland Park High School senior will attend the University of Texas to double major in health and history, with plans to pursue law school and advocate for healthcare. Our members do amazing things! #TeenOfImpact #AmericanHeartAssociation #CommunityService #NCLPride #ParkCities #HighSchoolHero #FutureLeader

Success as a nonprofit is all about community partnership! We were provided the opportunity for a donation of 20+ suitcases (and a full tub of toiletries); which, is not our exact "lane" when working with foster youth; so, we brought them to the amazing OCJ Kids for foster youth aging out of group homes. OCJ Kids fills the suitcases up with all kinds of necessity items that youth need as they transition from foster care and journey into adulthood. #fosteringheroes #fosteringheroesfoundation #partnership #partners #nonprofitleadership #nonprofitorganization #nonprofits #fostercare #fostercareawareness #fosteryouth #fosterchildren #fostering #nonprofitsuccess #nonprofit #nonprofitorganizations #nonprofitwork #nonprofitgrowth #nonprofitimpact #givingback #communitypartners #communitypartnership #communitypartnerships

When your nonprofit is in the early stages, when you are a team of 1 or 2, how do you possibly learn it "all"? Super cool to chat with Khalid Cannon of Put Me In! about the value he sees in The Nonprofit Hive. As an athlete and a former strategic consultant in the for-profit space, everything about the non profit world is new for Khalid. First Giving Tuesday. First year trying to understand state compliance. First year as a paid employee ( 🙌 ). For Khalid, the Hive represents an opportunity to ask questions, to have someone to throw around ideas with. And in return, Khalid has SO MUCH knowledge of strategy and value creation that he can share back with the nonprofit community. Hivers, is there something you WISH you had been told at the beginning of your nonprofit journey? For our in-house founders, any pitfalls you would've appreciated knowing about and avoiding?? ______________________________________ Here is a bit more about the nonprofit Khalid has co-founded. Put Me In! increases access to sports for children of incarcerated parents. Their targeted long-term outcome for the children they serve is: - Increased self-esteem - Increased personal resilience - Unlocking the broad range of positive mental and physical health benefits derived from participation in sports. Learn more about their work and mission here! https://lnkd.in/g7TaKBMA #nonprofit #youthempowerment #philanthropy #philanthropymatters #nonprofitorganization #communitybuilding

This is so right. As someone running a community based organization in an underserved, underfunded, and overpolluted community, I see time and again how institutions reinforce systemic inequities while saying they care about dismantling injustice. It feels like a treadmill sometimes, just watching the resources flow to the established institutional organizations. Whether you're a foundation or agency or individual, if you care about justice and equity, please evaluate why you make the funding decisions you do and if your funding is going to the places you want it to. I see too many government funders pass up funding in underserved communities where the funding would be a game changer because a well resourced organization had a better pitch, or had the capacity to do the work right away, etc. If you actually want to address inequities, look at who is not applying. Consider that your funding will go further if part of your funding actually goes to build capacity. Ask well-resourced organizations to help smaller organizations get the funding.
Co-Founder of Community-Centric Fundraising | Advocate for More Equitable Philanthropy
Hey funders, I’m seeing many of you post content that acknowledges that Native communities receive a minuscule amount of philanthropic dollars; that people of color must be centered in racial equity efforts; that trans-led organizations have limited access to funding opportunities; and that the lack of affordable housing, food, healthcare, mental health services, and childcare are ongoing stressors that disproportionately impact marginalized communities. We know. We know that extractive practices have led to wealth accumulation and enormous wealth gaps. We know that the philanthropy industry was born from white supremacy culture. We know that nonprofits have exacerbated this issue by centering funders and donors, so much so that nonprofits have infantilized donors, fearing that any disagreement or discomfort will lead to a tantrum and pulled funding. We know this when we look at the data. We see this when we look around and wonder what could be accomplished if we had the needed financial resources. We feel this during every conference session, grant application process, and coffee hour/venting session. We don’t need another article or post as a reminder. We need to know what you’re doing about it. Specifically, what are you doing with your philanthropic dollars to end this? Please share how you’ve evolved your philanthropic approaches to redistribute wealth and power, in an effort to correct the inequitable and unjust realities our communities face. (500 characters max 😉) Don’t let this be performative. -- Let’s work together to shift practices and center community.

While financial donations are crucial, there are numerous other impactful ways to support a cause. Volunteering your time can provide direct assistance, whether it's serving meals at a shelter, tutoring students, or helping at fundraising events. Donating goods like clothing, food, or books can meet immediate needs. Raising awareness through social media, community events, or conversations can educate others and inspire action. Advocating for causes by contacting lawmakers, participating in rallies, or signing petitions can bring about systemic change. Let's embrace the many ways we can give back and make a difference. #RedefineGiving #Volunteerism #DonateGoods #RaiseAwareness #Advocacy #MakeADifference #mythbusters #mythvsfact
