Friends keep asking "Hey Kelly, why a book and why now?' Well, the truth is, my why hasn't changed since I started in the benefit auction industry. I want to help worthy nonprofits raise BIG MONEY at their events using effective strategies. I want fundraisers to be able to maximize revenue and minimize headaches. If this book can reach more fundraisers and help them better their communities then I'm living that mantra I love so much - "When the tide comes in, all the boats rise." I want to help raise boats. I want to see nonprofits get the resources they need to better serve their clients and neighbors. And I want to use my voice to strengthen communities. It's time for a book so I can teach more fundraisers how to eliminate wasted time and focus on strategies that produce results. #letsgoraisesomemoney

If you are planning to start a nonprofit organization, it’s important to understand that your organization must be organized and operated exclusively for any of these purposes: ✔️ Charitable ✔️ Religious ✔️ Educational ✔️ Scientific ✔️ Literary ✔️ Testing for public safety ✔️ Fostering national or international amateur sports competition ✔️ Preventing cruelty to children or animals if you are applying for tax-exempt status. Organizations that want to apply for recognition of tax-exempt status under IRC 501(c)(3) will complete and file a Form 1023-series application. The application process on https://hubs.ly/Q02473TD0 includes a step-by-step guide explaining how to apply for tax-exempt status. #tax #taxexempt #nonprofit #notforprofit

🎳 Come and join us this Thursday evening 🎳 How the format works: Working in teams of two, you each take turns playing 1 frame at a time, alternating on each go. The aim, is to be the team that destroys the pyramid as quick as possible by successfully eliminating all blocks. In the below example, if on your first ball, you score a 5. You have a decision to make: - If you wish to ‘bank’ the 5 and destroy that pin from your sheet, then you would proceed to throw your second down the gutter so that the total frame score after 2 rolls is a 5 | -, you would then cross off a 5. - If you wish to go for more pins and you roll your second ball and you then get 4 more pins. Your score would read 5 | 4, totalling 9 and you would then cross off a 9. Our team will be on hand to help you with any questions throughout the game!

Lessons learned from running 78km this month for Anika Legal's Giving Day fundraiser (lessons I believe can be applied to life generally)... - Good tunes make things easier. - The 2-day hangover, sadly, does exist. - Running for a cause is extremely motivating. I wouldn't have gone nearly as far without one. - Running this far is a great achievement, but it wouldn't be possible if I didn't have a safe home. I wouldn't have been able to do it without a comfortable place to come back to, clean up and rest. The housing crisis means many renters are struggling to find homes. And without access to safe, secure and affordable housing, we can't fully participate, not just in exercise but also in education, employment and our communities. If you're able, please consider donating to my Giving Day page today - https://lnkd.in/d6TcBQrF Donations are doubled, so every dollar makes a big difference 

What a lovely thing... A certificate from Bookmark charity congratulating me on completion of my first volunteering on the Bookmark reading program. 'You've srarted a sentence, within a paragraph, within a chapter of that child's life'.... I look forward to the next programs after the school summer holidays. Very fulfilling #bookmarkreading #bookmarkcharity #bookmarkprogram #bookmark #readingtogether #readingtochildren #bookmarkreadingcharity #volunteer #volunteerreading

Today's the day! End of year (EOY) giving is crucial to the nonprofits you most care about, and we could certainly use your support to close the calendar year on a high note. This unrestricted support will help fulfill the needs of our general operations and keep our three pillar programs running strong! Some quick stats from OneCause on how important this giving is: 28% of nonprofits raise up to 50% of their annual donations during year-end campaigns. 12% of all nonprofit giving happens within the last few days of the year. As you discuss your charitable giving plan with your family, please keep Camp Fire First Texas top of mind: https://lnkd.in/gyHXXq3J

Some teams do one game a year fully immersed in activations around a non-profit. Others might do 3-4. And then there's the Texas Legends. Every home game fully themed out supporting a philanthropic mission. 100%. We don't wear our traditional home jerseys (although we are still forced to buy them - which puzzles me to this day). Why? Because we believe that sports are a platform to something bigger. A platform to lift people up. Bring people together from all backgrounds to have a shared experience together. A platform to give back. Not sometimes. Not part-time. 100% of the time. Only in Legends Land.

🎶 It’s Christmas time…🎼🎅🎅🎅 When I’m not dispensing some of the best financial planning in the UK (according to my mum), I also chair Harrison School in Fareham’s PTA - working with a team to raise money to plough back into the school to enrich all pupils’ experience there (recent examples include playground revamp, leavers’ hoodies, teddy bears picnic). Our biggest fundraiser is always the Christmas Fayre and this year we’re hoping to make it bigger and better than ever. And you can help! 🎅if you’d like to donate a raffle prize and get shout outs on social media, school emails plus the warm fuzzy feeling of being nice - give me a shout! 🎅if you run a business making craft stuff (haven’t got a really technical term) and would like a spot to sell your wares - give me a shout! 🎅if you’d like to donate to help us cover the costs - give me a shout! 🎅if you happen to have a snow machine that you’d like to lend us / rent to us - give me a shout! thanks LinkedIn! #accountants #directors #fun
