World Nomads’ Post

We’re almost at our £1billion target in legacy income for charities! So today we're hearing from our partners at Surfers Against Sewage (SAS). Lizzie Cresswell and Franka Fueller built out their first first successful legacy campaigns for SAS with Farewill. Dorka Voicu, their account manager, tells us how much she enjoyed working with the team, and how good it was to see them getting confident with the demographic data provided through Spotlight, our industry-leading dashboard. Partners can read a case study and an interview with Lizzie in our Partner Hub. In the meantime, here’s what else they’ve said about working with Farewill: "Farewill’s platform is such a powerful tool for us. It’s really helped us expand our legacy income, and offer supporters a new way to support our work. The free will package allows us to give back to our members, while also helping us protect the ocean for decades to come. Plus, we’ve been so supported by Farewill’s team throughout – and the will-writing journey is super streamlined." Surfers Against Sewage have been campaigning to protect the ocean for more than 30 years - they’ve delivered new legislation to protect marine ecosystems and empowered communities everywhere to fight for our seas. With the help of gifts in wills, they can continue to defend and champion this vital life source, and leave a thriving, protected ocean for every generation to come. 💙 #legacygiving #charityfundraising #legacies

Can corporate partnerships between businesses and charities ever really work? Or have Tesco and WWF shown that the potential to muddy the waters is simply too great? Both have denied that a report showing the #supermarket's supply chain was destroying the River Wye has been pulled as a result of the ongoing partnership, worth over £6m in donations since 2018.

I am really excited about Severn River Association's #oysterrestoration program this summer! It's kicking off next month in three big ways: 1) We are putting in 10 MILLION #oysters on our #restoration reef at Traces Hollow 2a with the help of our partners Oyster Recovery Partnership -- and with YOUR HELP (see the match grant alert below): https://lnkd.in/g9UgCMY7 2) Our #MarylandersGrowOysters program participants will be planting their home-grown oysters on a different area of Traces Hollow starting June 1. SRA has the largest MGO program with over 300 households growing oysters in cages off of docks/piers for nine months while the spat on shell grow big and strong enough for planting on a #reef. 3) With our boat Sea Girl finally repaired and back in the water, we will be fitting her with a newly designed instrument. Late this summer that instrument will pump oyster #larvae onto yet another #restorationreef for 'direct setting', a new technique that may be able to supplement (but not supplant) our other restoration techniques. This is thanks to a grant from Chesapeake Bay Trust and the Chesapeake Oyster Alliance. #ConnectProtectRestore #OysterRestoration #SevernRiver #EnvironmentalConservation #OysterReef #MarineConservation #SustainableFuture #EcoFriendly #CommunityImpact #MarylandersGrowOysters #ReefRestoration #SpatOnShell #OysterRecovery #HealthyEcosystems #SupportLocal #NonProfit #ChesapeakeBay #ChesapeakeOysters #OceanHealth #AquaticLife #ConservationEfforts #SeaGirl #InnovationInRestoration #OysterLarvae #RestorationTechniques

Aspen Future Leader and The Pew Charitable Trusts Senior Associate Andrea Snyder discussed wildfire mitigation and management funding in a recent Pew article. The article addressed how federal, state, and local governments can improve wildfire spending data, along with the importance of additional investment in wildfire mitigation activities and greater accessibility for state and local governments seeking to access federal funds.

In this webinar with the Association of Charitable Foundations and the Environmental Funders Network, we will share findings from the #EveryonesEnvironment programme and consider how funders can empower charities to take action on the social impacts of the environmental crises.

EM community! Let me tell you about an amazing VOAD called Project:Camp. They set up pop-up, trauma-informed day camps for children in areas that have been affected by disaster. They are currently on the ground in New Mexico setting up one such camp in response to the wildfires. Unlike most NGOs, they put children's care and well-being at the forefront of response. I love their mission and happy to be getting more involved. If you like their mission too and, as an EM professional, can see they may be able to aid your communities post disaster, I have a few asks: 1) Please like/share this post to boost their visibility 2) Please reach out if you are or know of the right POC in your community to begin building a relationship before disaster strikes. 3) Please consider donating

Tanka Fund Executive Director, Dawn Sherman, shares why it's important to have funding in order to support our Native rancher partners. Our MISSION is to RETURN BUFFALO TO NATIVE AMERICAN LANDS, LIVES AND ECONOMIES. Tanka Fund is a 501(c)(3) that is Native American-led and staffed. Since 2014, we have been working to provide animals, grants and technical assistance to Native American owned/operated or managed Buffalo ranches that are family or community based. Tanka Fund’s rancher partners now represent more than 1,800 head of Buffalo over 100,000 acres of land. Our 5-year goal is to increase that to 500,000 acres and 5,000 Buffalo or more. To support The Return, visit TankaFund.org. 🦬 #TankaFund #LandsLivesEconomies #Donate #Buffalo #Bison #TheReturn #NativeAmerican #Indigenous #Resilience #ClimateRestoration #CommunityEmpowerment #EnvironmentalSustainability #SustainableRanching #BuffaloRanching #CulturalRevitalization #Biodiversity #TankaImpact

Climate change is having such a huge impact on our world, and we are committed to making a positive contribution to the communities in which we do business through our staff volunteering and charity partnerships.  In 2023, natural disasters caused £299 billion of economic losses which, in turn, cost the #insurance industry around £92.2 billion - 31% over the average across the 21st century. We know we - and our entire industry - have a responsibility to make improvements, and you can read more about our charity partnerships here: https://carbonuw.com/esg/ #MGA #MGU

Our planet is at a tipping point, so we're calling on our generation to reverse nature loss, halt climate change, and secure livelihoods before we run out of time.
