Today is Non-Profit Day and we decided to donate some boxes of food to our local food bank! 💓 Non-Profit Day holds immense importance as it celebrates selfless endeavours that uplift society. Our contribution is our commitment to alleviate hunger and promote community welfare. By donating food, we bridge the gap for those in need, fostering unity and compassion. Such acts remind us that collective efforts, regardless of scale, can bring about positive change. 🌊 As we mark Non-Profit Day, let's recognise the power of giving, encouraging others to join this noble journey toward a better world. 🌍 What are you doing for Non-Profit Day?

A colleague asked me today about serving on a non-profit board. Such important work, but I think most people don't know how to get started: I have been on a non-profit board of some sort for much of my professional career. It is a calling for me; I'm actually on two right now. I find I can't usually get the fulfillment at a moral or ethical level that I seek in a professional job, so a non-profit board is the way I meet that requirement. First, the best way to find an org to be on the board is to find an org that you support and like the mission of. My colleague was looking for animal, queer, immigrant and indigenous interests in the Kansas City area. Here are a few I found with a search (the search was "<topic area> kansas city 990", as an example): https://ourspotkc.org/ https://lnkd.in/g5m_SP44 https://kcpetproject.org/ https://lnkd.in/gAsTCHzR Next step, after you have found one or two you like - go find the 990 and read it (search for the org name withe the number 990 -- the 990 is a form they file with the IRS that tells you alot about the org and how they are doing). Also, read their website. Find the board of directors and approach the board chair or if there's a committee that you can find that does board recruitment and tell them about you and your interest and ask how you can get involved at a board level. All boards need to add board members, and they are looking for people who have an interest in the organization and can help them meet their goals. Some boards and board members help with fundraising, some help with events, some are just a governing board, there are many different ways to serve. Serving on a non-profit board is an easy and fulfilling way to give back to your community. How do you give back?

As you engage with nonprofits, consider exploring innovative strategies to recruit volunteers who resonate with your mission. Angelique Barthel with Variety - the Children's Charity of Illinois graciously shared insights on their volunteer recruitment efforts. Look for individuals who possess a genuine passion for supporting your mission. While skills can be acquired, the heart to make a difference is indispensable. Encourage potential volunteers to dig into local needs, identify fundraising opportunities, and commit their time to your cause. Remember, building a strong volunteer team takes time, but it's essential, especially for small organizations. By attracting individuals who share your excitement for the cause, you'll strengthen your organization and amplify your impact in the community. How do you recruit volunteers? . . . #nonprofit #nonprofitorganziation #volunteer #fundraising #charity

National Non-Profit Day is commemorated on August 17 each year to recognise non-profit organisations’ ongoing efforts to serve the local community. If you’ve ever volunteered, you’re well aware of the significance of these charitable organisations. Nonprofits throughout the country work to promote awareness and offer assistance to individuals who otherwise would not be able to afford it. Their activities contribute to the shaping of our society and provide hope for a brighter future. #NonProfitOrganisations are the glue that hold together many communities across the UK, offering support to people who need it and helping to build #ConnectedCommunities. They do vital work, which can often go under-appreciated. That's why we're celebrating #NationalNonprofitDay, to shine a light on the wonderful non-profit organisations working to make a difference in their area. Why not take some time to familiarise yourself with the non-profit organisations in your area?
