📜 Understanding the Importance of a Will
A Will is a legal document that outlines how you want your assets, property, and responsibilities to be managed and distributed when you are no longer here. It provides clear instructions on who will care for your children, how your belongings will be divided, and who will handle your estate.
Creating a will not only provides peace of mind and reduces stress for your loved ones, but it also allows you to continue supporting the causes you care about through a charitable bequest. By including a charitable bequest, you leave behind a legacy that extends your impact and helps those in need long after you're no longer here.

Hi all,
Last year I lost a close friend of mine from university. This weekend, I -along with 37 members of his friends and family- are participating in the Three Peaks Challenge, where we aim to climb the 3 three highest peaks of Scotland, England and Wales in under 24 hours (Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon).
We are raising money for the charity Papyrus, which aims to prevent young suicide. Suicide is tragically the biggest killer of young people under the age of 35 in the UK, with every year over 1800 young people taking their own lives.
I have attached the link to Finn's sister, Kezia's Just Giving page. If you are looking to donate to a a good cause this week maybe this can be one that is worthy.
I have also attached the link to the interview Finn's dad, Gordon, gave to the BBC earlier this week about Finn and the challenge: https://lnkd.in/enqJWSc7
Thank you for any donations!

Very curious about this as well - how is your NPO shifting donors away from mailing in gifts, or *are* you supporting the shift?
I wonder how NPOs inadvertently turn donors into targets with recognizable reply pieces bearing names, addresses, and CC info (with CVV!)...
Y’all, look at what’s on the mailbox in front of my apartment in Brooklyn 👀
Remember what I shared a few weeks ago about how AARP now recommends not sending checks in the mail because mail theft & check fraud have exploded? 📮
Well the universe was listening and wanted to show me how real that concern is! 🚨
There’s a sign on our neighborhood’s mailbox that someone has been able to break in and compromised it ⛔️
When I read this, all I could think about is how many billions and billions in philanthropic dollars move this way 😱
It’s not just a headache to process gifts that come as checks in the mail, it’s an increasing risk 📈
I’m curious if any nonprofits are making changes to either discourage checks or encourage other methods of giving as a result? 🤔

If trying to get IRA revenue distributed to your charity after a donor's death has been a long, annoying, and privacy-impacting experience, please check out this action alert. And after you do that, take some time to think about the high-value activities you could spend time on if you outsourced your estate administration (including IRA distributions!) to specialists like J Scott Kilpatrick and Lindy Nash' s team at CCK Bequest Management. All that time spent wrangling estates could be spent building donor relationships!

CCO @Grace & Green | Improving access to sustainable period products | Championing period dignity for all🩸Coaching | Consulting | Mentoring | Founder @Seed to Oak
When I joined Grace & Green in 2022 as Head of Growth, my very first presentation to the Board was about how we took what had been created in Period Dignity and use this to have a much wider impact on both the business and the world of work. How would we make Period Dignity the market leader (with very little money to spend to do so)?
I don't have enough space in this post to work through exactly what I set out in that meeting, however it boiled down to:
✌ Understanding the impact we want to have: It's always been about more than supplying products - Education is woven into the threads of Period Dignity.
To achieve period dignity we need access to information, availability of products and acceptance within workplace culture - we designed our offering and continue to develop everything we do around these pillars. This was summed up perfectly by a client (John) who said "Grace & Green don't just supply a product, they create a CULTURE". Exactly John.
✌ Remember who we are and why we are doing it: Unsurprisingly, the workplace space has and is becoming more competitive. This is excellent news, as more businesses embrace free period care as a basic right, and especially comforting how many are choosing a more sustainable providers. As now Chief Commercial Officer, it's also mildly stressful (mildly 🙃 ).
However, dignity continues to be about more than avoiding getting caught short, it's about embracing inclusivity and supporting our Members to deliver dignity for all, no matter of age, gender identity, or how they experience their period. There's still a long way to go, and we've got SO much more coming here...
✌ Treat every customer like they are absolutely making our day. This is perhaps a small business mindset, or when many of the team have done almost every job in the company. We all remember the THRILL of winning our first big contract, the DELIGHT of walking into a shop and seeing our products on shelf, or randomly walking into the bathroom BEAMING seeing our products. We don't take for granted the fact we get to be in people's everyday.
(For me this has never worn off, my heart still skips a little when I process an order, receive a tender award notice, or see a customer talking about us on socials.)
Particularly grateful for our team for supporting our phenomenal YOY 120% growth, for challenging, pushing our vision and positioning, and for being excellent.
I'm incredibly proud of what we and our members are doing to drive inclusivity, awareness and dignity within their workplaces and educational establishments. I can't wait to see what the next two years can hold.
Happy Birthday Period Dignity. x

Urgent Appeal: Help Us Finalize Our Move!
We're transitioning to our new Red Feather Lakes home but need your help to close out our old site in Rist Canyon. We need to remove old fencing — a critical project that requires professional expertise. This project involves dismantling and recycling 13,000 linear feet of fencing and dig guard, weighing over 50 tons. Completing this will save us $2,000 in monthly rent and allow us to focus on our new home and the care of our animals.
Bids for this project were originally up to $250,000. We've secured a contractor for $65,000, but we still need to raise these funds urgently. Since Friday, we've raised more than $11,000 towards this goal. No donation is too big or too small to make a difference. Your support will help us raise the $65,000 needed to finalize our move and ensure our resources go towards caring for our animals. This project is essential for the future of W.O.L.F. Sanctuary.
Your donation today will directly impact the future of our sanctuary and the lives of our wolf dogs.

Hello everyone,
I have an idea for consideration: implementing a rule in our office where tardiness incurs a fine, with the collected funds directed towards charitable causes such as supporting an old age home or assisting those in need. This initiative aims to foster punctuality among us while contributing positively to the community. What are your thoughts on this proposal?
What are the Different Methods Available for Charitable Giving for Individuals and Families?
A strategy of many high net worth and ultra high net worth families include charitable giving.
First, there are often estate tax planning benefits to engage in charitable giving.
However, and oftentimes more important, there is a personal satisfaction that comes with engaging in charitable giving strategies.
There are many ways in which families may seek to advance their charitable giving desires including:
✅ Outright gifts to family members or charitable organizations
✅ Use of Charitable Remainder Trusts or Charitable Lead Trusts
✅ Establishment of Private Foundations
✅ Establishment of Public and Private Charities
✅ Use of Donor Advised Funds
These are just a few of the sophisticated strategies which families can engage in when it comes to charitable giving strategies.
Each of the above strategies have their own unique laws and rules when it comes to establishment and compliance. If you have questions about the use of charitable giving with your estate planning strategy, you should speak with a qualified professional.
