As grassroots nonprofit leaders, your tireless efforts to protect communities act as a beacon of hope 💡 . Recently, Colorado’s Governor recognized this, granting $1M to nonprofits helping to secure places of worship against violence. Enhancing security measures, installing cameras 📸, setting alarms 🚨, providing emergency response training...your work isn’t unnoticed or unappreciated. We understand that while bolstering the physical safety of communities, you might wonder how best to market your venture to ensure its sustainability and expand its reach. Never underestimate the power of story📚, your story. It’s the most potent tool in connecting with donors, volunteers, and communities. It’s your “why” that stirs hearts, motivates action, and fosters changes💪. Stay inspired and remember that what you do matters. The world needs your light, resilience, and hope. Together, let’s continue to #GiveHopeDaily Share your thoughts 🖊️ and tag a nonprofit leader who needs this encouragement today! #nonprofit#communityresilience#businessgrit#marketingmatters#nonprofitsolutions

Yea it’s a five minute video, who watches those anymore! However, if you followed us over the course of Serve Week 2024 (The Ocho) this is an awesome wrap up and great work by the team. We try and use LinkedIn to open a window into our culture. And while Foundry Commercial isn’t perfect and we will always have work to do in pursuit of our standards, I think this is one of the things we get really right. We are a services company and spending time with these amazing organizations, which we encourage you to check out and support, reminds us what true service looks like. It is a week where we try to give back and we always end up getting so much more than we give. Great job Lauren and the entire Serve Week support team. #foundrycommercial #itspersonal #theocho #serveweek2024

(An update for anyone interested in my son Charlie’s nonprofit, Pass the Bricks.) This momentum is amazing. The media coverage is definitely exciting: over 60 outlets in 10 countries, including last night’s segment on NBC Nightly News. But as I watch Charlie go on this journey, what strikes me most is the incredible outpouring of support he’s received. He's heard from hundreds of people - of all ages and life circumstances - who believe in his mission and just want to help. There are now “ambassadors” (what he’s calling the individuals, families, companies, schools, churches, etc. doing Pass the Bricks) in over 50 cities across the globe. And together they’re bringing “play” to thousands of kids. I’m so happy for him—yes, to have created something from scratch and to watch it scale, but especially because he gets to see first-hand a unique level of human kindness. For a teenager growing up in our chaotic, disconnected, cynical world, this is beyond meaningful. I know it will stay with him his entire life. If you’re still reading... 😉 THANK YOU, for all of the support so far and for spreading the word about Pass the Bricks. IF THE LI COMMUNITY WANTS TO HELP, Pass the Bricks still needs: -support from companies to help with cleaning, packaging, and shipping costs  -additional nonprofit partners (who can get Pass the Bricks sets to kids and families in need) -additional exposure to continue to spread the word THANK YOU AGAIN! https://lnkd.in/gGrvFPfp
