The American Public Gardens Association (APGA) is excited to launch two new membership levels this year! The Allied Membership and Student Membership. The Allied Membership welcomes non-garden, non-profit organizations to join the Association. APGA encourages nonprofit organizations that champion or work with public gardens to join to enhance the work of their organizations and staff members. Allied members who qualify must hold an IRS 501 (c)3 non-profit determination or equivalent non-US designation. Organizations defined as public gardens, botanical gardens, arboretums, or parks do not qualify for this membership. Regarding the Student Membership, college students must be enrolled as full- or part-time students in a compulsory or higher education system. They must provide an active college or university email address and provide current course registration. Students will need to requalify annually. Students also cannot be a full-time employee in the public garden industry. #APGABoston24 #APGAConference #APGA #PublicGarden #PublicGardens #GardenConference #AmericanPublicGardensAssociation #Boston #gardeneducation #gardentips #networking #greenindustry

POV: the ups and downs of running a Community Foundation. In the last seven days at County Durham Community Foundation Last Wednesday A visit to The Genesis Project Middlesbrough to meet with Reverend Kath Dean, as the project has just been granted the Kings Award for Voluntary Service – effectively, the MBE for voluntary services. A community garden where people can plant and pick cabbages, lettuces and tomatoes. An eco-shop, stocked with everything a family needs for a week at heavily discounted prices, a clothing bank, hot meals and craft sessions. A volunteer-led, community hub that focusses on self-sufficiency, Reverend Dean told me it’s all about “lifting people up,” so much so, they’ve been able to offer jobs to some of their volunteers. Last Thursday A phone call with a potential donor who doesn’t believe in foodbanks, who suspects foodbanks are being taken advantage of, who can’t accept the harsh reality of poverty, and the way it steals not just health and wellbeing, but energy, opportunities, time, futures. Thursday is sadly not an uncommon experience! But those conversations serve as a timely reminder that not everyone is going to share your view, understand why you changed jobs to try and make a difference in your community. Today But then there is today, a day with a donor who came in and said "been a fantastic year, let's do it again – I will make a donation in December." Their mantra – "I like my giving to solve problems, big or small, urgently today or longer term." We’re very fortunate to have many such people as our supporters and fundholders, who want to make a difference and trust us to do exactly that. To help us ensure that initiatives like The Genesis Project can solve many problems and maybe "lift" their communities. #CommunityMatters #CommunityGiving Video by the team at Recognition PR

Empowering Communities One Piglet at a Time with Sesera Youth’s Piglet Project In the spirit of community and shared prosperity, the Sesera Youth’s Piglet Project is not just about giving; it’s about creating a sustainable cycle of empowerment. Each family that receives a piglet from us takes on a journey of care and commitment. As these piglets grow and become parents themselves, the original family’s joy is doubled as they extend this gift to two more families—each receiving one piglet. This isn’t just a project; it’s a promise—a promise of growth, support, and community resilience. With every new litter, the promise is renewed, and more families are welcomed into a circle of support that keeps on expanding. Imagine the impact: one piglet becomes many, and those many piglets continue to nurture new lives, new hopes, and new dreams. This is the vision of the Sesera Youth’s Piglet Project, where every contribution is a seed for tomorrow’s harvest. Join us in this beautiful journey of giving and growth. Be a part of a movement that’s more than charity—it’s a legacy of love and life that keeps on giving.

We are SO grateful for our community partners. These partnerships are vital in the success of our mission at Crop & Kettle. Here are 5 ways that community partnerships make us better: 1.) Shared Knowledge - Community Partnerships grant us a richer depth of experience and wisdom with fresh perspectives. 2.) Shared Resources - They bridge the gaps of our independent organizations. 3.) Building Relationships - We love both connecting our partners and being connected by our partners to others through each of our respective networks! 4.) New Opportunities - When relationships are built, new opportunities develop through each other's networks. 5.) Greater Resilience - We're better together! These partnership provide us opportunities to support one another through change and challenges. We thank God for all of the incredible community partners we've had over the years. #CropAndKettle #cropandkettlepa #culinaryprogram #nonprofitorgs #pittsburghnonprofit #community #communitypartners #communitymatters #bettertogether #communitypartnerships #workforcedevelopment #socialdevelopment #culinarytraining #culinaryprograms #lifeskills #jobtraining #beavercountypa #newbrightonpa #aliquippapa #beaverpa #sewickeypa #easternohio #pghpa

Meet Edith. One of our fundraisers for our City2Surf team this year. 👟 Why are you doing City2Surf? To promote the urgent need for more foster carers to care for children. We thought that sponsoring and participating in City2Surf is a good way let people know about MacKillop’s work and to get this message to a wider audience. 👟 Have you been training/how has that been going? Yes I have started walking longer distances and building up my time. I have a way to go yet. 👟 What is your goal for City2Surf? I have a fundraising goal of $1000 which will help recruit and support carers. What’s most important is spreading the word of the vial work foster carers do. Providing stable homes and care of children and young people who are unable to live with their families makes all the difference to the child’s wellbeing and future lives. Foster carers are very special people. #RunWithMacKillop #City2Surf #LetsRunSydney

 📣CALLING ALL RIVERSIDERS TO HELP 💡On behalf of the Greater Riverside Chambers of Commerce's Leadership Riverside Class of 2024, we invite you to join us in supporting a transformative project that will greatly benefit our community: Riverside's First Tool Library. This groundbreaking initiative, integrated within the City of Riverside's library system, will empower residents by providing equitable access to a wide range of tools and resources. Whether it's for home improvement, gardening, or DIY projects, the Tool Library will serve as a vital resource for individuals and families, fostering a spirit of collaboration, sustainability, and self-sufficiency in our community. Learn more and donate now: https://lnkd.in/d3GK5mrH This Helps Riverside Residents in Many Ways: 🔨 Empowerment Through Accessibility: Many Riverside residents may have the skills and desire to undertake home improvement projects, start a garden, or repair items themselves, but lack the financial resources to purchase the necessary tools. The Tool Library will bridge this gap by offering free or low-cost access to these essential tools, enabling everyone in our community to take on projects that improve their living conditions and quality of life. 🔨 Promoting Sustainability: By sharing tools, we reduce the need for individual ownership, which in turn decreases waste and promotes a more sustainable approach to consumption. 🔨 Building Community Connections: The Tool Library will be more than just a place to borrow tools; it will be a community hub where residents can exchange ideas, share knowledge, and support one another. 🔨 Supporting Economic Resilience: In times of economic uncertainty, having access to tools can be a crucial factor in maintaining or improving one’s home, starting a small business, or acquiring new skills. Your support is crucial in making this vision a reality. By contributing to the Riverside Tool Library, you are not just donating to a project—you are investing in the future of our community. Your generosity will help ensure that everyone in Riverside, regardless of their financial means, can access the tools they need to improve their homes, start new projects, and build a stronger, more connected community. 🌟Together, we can build something truly special. 🌟 P.S. Highest donation gets a gift card for two! PLEASE DONATE! PLEASE SHARE! https://lnkd.in/d3GK5mrH #Riverside #RiversideToolLibrary #MakeaDifference
