If you work at a financial institution, you know that driving community engagement and compliance is of the utmost importance under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). 🏦 Building programs that are impactful and scalable, as well as keeping track of qualified community development grants and volunteering services can be time-consuming, but that's where Blackbaud can help. EVERFI from Blackbaud and YourCause from Blackbaud help banks scale and track their digital financial education, employee volunteerism, and grantmaking activities. ⬇️ Download this white paper for guidance on fulfilling your bank’s CRA requirements and tracking qualified initiatives: https://lnkd.in/gDTeZbVi

Carefully crafted grantmaking strategies are at the heart of a private foundation's efforts—whether fostering community development, sponsoring education, or supporting sustainability. These strategies ensure effective resource allocation and meaningful change while embodying the foundation's mission. To optimize impact and comply with tax laws, it's important for foundations to thoughtfully develop and refine their approaches. #PrivateFoundations #Grantmaking

Nonprofits are vital for Toronto’s communities, but they are being squeezed out of their own neighbourhoods by rising rents and lack of space. They need more affordable and long-term access to public spaces in their own neighbourhoods, where they are most needed and effective. But the City’s real estate and development practices are not helping them. They are often excluding or displacing them from community-use space. We need the City to implement three recommendations that will help address the space crisis. The second recommendation is to ensure that all municipal real estate and (re)development practices intentionally seek to expand nonprofit community organizations and grassroots groups access to secure and affordable community-use spaces. This includes better community consultation processes and higher standards for assessing community services needs (space, programming) in the area around any development. We need your help to make this happen. Click here to endorse -> https://lnkd.in/eQXDZQUs #SpatialJusticeTO

TOMORROW MORNING (JUNE 29TH) at 9:30 AM our amazing Who I Am Foundation volunteers in #Albuquerque will be having our next Community Clean-Up (ABQ)! For this Community Clean-Up our volunteers will be meeting up at and cleaning Los Altos Park, located at 10100 Lomas Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87112 (Meet-Up will be in the parking lot off Eubank next to Sonic) Youth participation is strongly encouraged, so children are welcome to join! NO OPEN-TOED SHOES Cleaning up loose trash is one of the best ways to pitch in for your community and the environment. Volunteering as a means to help conserve and protect the environment has a lot of upsides. Of course, the first is that you’ll be taking care of our planet, and it badly needs a little love given the myriad ways in which we’ve become adept at destroying it. But beyond that, volunteering for a cause you care about is a great way to meet like-minded people, make friends, and pull yourself out of the blues that sometimes accompany caring a lot about something important – especially if you feel alone in your endeavors. None of us like the sight of litter. Litter spoils the look of where we live but that’s not the only reason for picking up litter. There are a number of benefits from picking up litter that you may not have considered before. Volunteer-led projects such as these are one of the quickest, simplest, and least expensive ways to inspire more community spirit and civic action. A visually appealing community increases property values, attracts businesses, and improves the neighborhood's image. Beauty is one of the three most influential factors in community attachment, which means loyalty, to your particular town or city. Some research even shows that a nice-looking neighborhood promotes good behavior. Join us in keeping your community clean!
