Terrific report from The Chronicle of Philanthropy that affirms our organic findings. "Younger donors don't distinguish between gifts to nonprofits and other types of giving (such as political); they just want to make a difference." #makeadifference #matchedgiving #workplacegiving #livegivesave #spave #GivingTuesday

Ever attend an animal fashion show? It’s hilarious — especially when children are involved. This weekend Spave was delighted to sponsor the Elsie’s Barnyard Uptown Animals Fashon Show and Fundraiser. Founder & CEO, Mandy Fleming, reported they met their fundraising goal before the event started. 🥳💪 Elsie’s Barnyard is a 501(c)3 nonprofit with a mission to restore and strengthen the hearts, minds, and souls of children and families facing adverse medical conditions through interacting with animals and nature. “As parents of a child with special needs, we know the only thing different about raising a child with special needs is there is just…. MORE. More appointments, specialists, medications, phone calls, stress, fear, anxiety, and everything takes a little more time. But with that you also gain MORE. More empathy, respect, compassion, patience, kindness, and most importantly, more love.” — Mandy Fleming To learn more and to support Elsie’s Barnyard’s mission, go to: www.ElsiesBarnyard.com 💗 #specialneeds #adversemedicalconditions #lovewins
