Greater Good Charities’ Post

Better living through giving. Now is the time to plan for your end of the year giving. Charitable contributions to causes that you cherish, such as church, animal shelter, or homeless shelters, help provide integral funds to nonprofit institutions and are hugely rewarding for you. The Gracestone advisors will be mindful of your philanthropic goals while guiding you in making informed decisions concerning your contributions, which includes establishing and implementing a charitable giving strategy tailored to you and the causes near and dear to you. — #giving #contributions #thisisgracestone

Such a brilliant way to engage with #loyaltyprogram members and make a real contribution to #ESG whilst managing your points liability in a meaningful way. By having a range of causes aligned with your company values you can also build up knowledge on your customer base. Key attributes such as ‘charities’ which are important to your consumers provide valuable data to your business, and personalisation opportunities to really connect with customers on an emotional level.

Hello Chicagoland Network! As some of you know, I volunteer with PAWS Chicago. They are having Open Houses this month to learn more about volunteering. The first one is this Sunday at the Medical Center. Here is the information. If you are an animal lover, it's a great organization to get involved with! Even if you can't volunteer, please consider PAWS Chicago for your donations and Corporate Matching Programs. PAWS Chicago has a 4-Star Rating from Charity Navigator. Less than 1% of charities evaluated by Charity Navigator have ever received a 4-star rating consecutively since 2003, indicating that PAWS Chicago outperforms most other charities in America. Charity Navigator is the country’s premier independent charity evaluator, ranking charities based on their efficient use of donor funds. #animalwelfare #pets #petsarefamily #volunteering #volunteers #volunteeropportunity #volunteersmakeadifference #charity #charitysupport #corporategiving #matchinggifts #corporategift

📜 Don't let your legacy be left to chance... Having a Will ensures your wishes are met after you're gone, providing peace of mind for you and your loved ones. But beyond leaving assets, a Will also allows you to: ✔️ Choose guardians for minor children. ✔️ Express your wishes for pet care. ✔️ Make charitable donations. ✔️ Minimise confusion and stress for your family. #wills #legalservices #lawfirm

Yesterday was Adopt a Shelter Pet Day! Please consider ADOPTING a pet at your local shelter as the shelter crisis continues to overwhelm Texas shelters and rescues. If you can’t adopt, consider helping in the other ways that make a BIG impact on shelters, such as volunteering, fostering, or donating your time. 👉 Call your local shelter and see how to get involved! #AdoptDontShop

It’s not too late to book your holiday family getaway 🛳️ and not too early to book your spring break trip🏝️! These guys are the Disney trip experts❗️ Get a free consultation from Sandpiper Vacations and mention Ronald McDonald House so when you book, 5% of the commission they get from the airlines, hotels, and destinations are donated to RMHC‼️ By the way, I learned from them that even when you try to save money by spending lots of time yourself researching and trying to put a package together, those online travel websites also get commission…even if those big companies don’t manage your trip personally. But those big online aggregators often don’t keep an eye out for ways to lower your cost even after booking. These guys do. And the online agencies often can’t be reached with questions after booking to make sure your needs are met. But this local, small family-owned business has real people you can talk to during the entire process so your family can take off with confidence that everything is set and that you got a great deal!

It's #givingtuesday and I'm curious to know what organizations are close to your heart? I've been supporting the Animal Protective Association of Missouri as a volunteer, foster and even as a part time adoption coordinator since 2010. Witnessing the incredible growth and impact of the organization has been truly inspiring. The APA's work not only transforms the lives of animals but also leaves a lasting positive effect on our community. If you're looking for ways to make a difference, here are a few of my favorite ways to support this incredible organization: 🐾 Volunteer: From dog walking to socializing with cats and dogs, assisting adopters, to participating in fundraising events – there are numerous volunteer opportunities that cater to various interests. 🏡 Adopt, Don't Shop: Rather than paying thousands for a trendy mixed breed, try visiting a local shelter. They've got the best mixes and even pure breeds that are looking for loving homes. You can find any type, activity level, age and disposition in your local shelter. 📲 Follow and Engage: Stay connected with APA on social media to be the first to know about upcoming initiatives and events. Your likes, shares, and engagement amplify the impact of their message. 🎁 Donate: Whether it's gently used items like blankets and towels or new supplies like collars, toys, and bowls, or monetary support every contribution counts. It's a simple yet impactful way to make a meaningful difference. I encourage you to get involved with an organization that makes a difference in your community on this Giving Tuesday!

Host a PATnic with your family, friends, neighbours, work colleagues and pets, and have fun while raising money for Pets As Therapy. We're inviting our volunteers, establishments, supporters, YOU to host a PATnic and raise funds for Pets As Therapy.

Today is National Non-Profit Day, a day to recognize the work that non-profits do to serve their communities. As an organization that is mainly run by volunteers, and that receives no county, state or federal funding, we rely on generous community members, supporters, adopters, and donors to make our work possible. 2023 has been a challenging year. We entered the year with less volunteers, losing some of our key people due to moves, and have doubled our intakes. So far this year, we have already cared for 231 cats/kittens and 88 dogs/puppies. With the increased number of animals, has come increased expenses. This year, we have had a year-to-date 47% increase in expenses related to shelter supplies and veterinary/medical care. If you can, please consider supporting our mission today by liking, sharing or donating to help us continue saving those who need us. You make it possible. #pawsofhertfordcounty #hertfordcountync #adopt #donate #nonprofitday
