Lost your fundraising mojo? Yesterday, I had the privilege of learning about three incredible projects supported by our Loneliness and Isolation Fund, along with three ground-breaking medical research projects aimed at stopping, preventing, or reversing sight loss. Each of these projects, though unique, share a common goal: improving the lives of individuals with sight loss. Led by experts in the field, these projects are making a profound impact by addressing the specific needs of patients and beneficiaries. From developing treatments for sight loss to fostering community-building activities, these initiatives are transforming lives. Witnessing such dedication and passion in action is incredibly inspiring. How do you reclaim your fundraising mojo, especially when the fundraising climate is so tough? #SaveSightChangeLives #fundraising #CommunityImpact #SightLossSupport #LonelinessAndIsolation #MedicalResearch #MakingADifference #Inspiration #funders #charity www.fightforsight.org.uk     https://lnkd.in/e7WZpZYX

With summer on its way, it is a great time to plan a fundraising event or activity to help change lives. Whether it's a cake sale, or sponsored run, walk, cycle, or swim, what you do will make a real difference to the lives of children, young people and families affected by Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. You may be brilliant at organising events - so why not organise a quiz evening or football match with friends? Or you may prefer to do your own thing with a readathon or danceathon. There are so many ways to fundraise for Juvenile Arthritis Research. Every penny raised supports our vital research, awareness and family support work. The first step to changing the lives of children with JIA is to request a free fundraising pack from Juvenile Arthritis Research at https://lnkd.in/eKrtSeaf #JIA #JuvenileArthritis #JuvenileIdiopathicArthritis #JuvenileArthritisResearch #Kipo #Arthritis #ChildhoodArthritis #ChronicIllness #AutoimmuneDisease #JARProject #JIAWarrior #ArthritisAwareness #charity #CharitableCause #NonProfit #Donate #Support #causes #fundraising #philanthropy #KidsWithArthritis #KidsGetArthritisToo #DontBeAloneWithJIA #InstaCharity #RaiseAwareness #ThinkJIA #AwarenessIsEverything #PaediatricRheumatology

Meet Elizabeth, our Board President at the Endo Forward Foundation! 💛 In this video, she shares her excitement about where some of the funds raised during NTX Giving Day will go—and it’s all about pushing forward education and awareness for endometriosis. For Elizabeth, this mission is personal. After spending 14 years searching for answers and being told by over 40 doctors that everything she was going through was “normal,” she finally learned the truth—it wasn’t normal, and she had endometriosis. That’s why she knows firsthand how critical it is to spread education and awareness about this disease. With the funds from NTX Giving Day, we’ll be creating educational resources, raising community awareness, and pushing for better care so that no one has to go through what Elizabeth and so many others have endured. Your support is helping us break the cycle of misdiagnosis and misinformation, and it’s changing lives. Thank you for standing with us. Together, we’re making sure every Endo Warrior has the knowledge and care they need. 💛 Donate Here: https://lnkd.in/gfseREfv #northtexasgivingday2024 #endometriosissurgery #endometriosissupport #patientadvocate #endoforwardfoundation #endosupport #nonprofitlife #EffEndo #endometriosiswarrior #nonprofit #endometriosisawareness #makingadifference #youmatter #chronicillnesswarrior #endostrong #dallas #texasnonprofit #dfwnonprofit #austin #austinnonprofit

If you could create a legacy fund to support three of your favourite causes… Which ones would you choose? 🤔 For our team, it's...the Canadian Association of Gift Planners Foundation, the Ottawa Humane Society, Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation, and Elevate International. When we work with clients on their estate and legacy plan, one of our goals is to help them support causes that are aligned with their values, while still taking care of their families. 🌟Our overarching goal is to redirect at least $5 million a year of our client’s money from CRA (taxes) to their favorite charities! #athenawealthandlegacysolutions #canada #legacybuilding #charitablegiving #financialplanner
