helping-Nonprofits

There are many ways to support non-profits, depending on your interests, skills, and resources. Here are some ideas:
  1. Volunteering: Offer your time and skills to help with various tasks, such as event planning, administrative work, or providing professional services like legal advice or graphic design.
  2. Donations: Financial contributions are always appreciated. You can also donate goods, such as clothing, food, or office supplies.
  3. Fundraising: Organize or participate in fundraising events like charity runs, bake sales, or online campaigns to raise money for the non-profit.
  4. Advocacy: Use your voice to raise awareness about the non-profit's cause. Share their mission on social media, write blog posts, or speak at community events.
  5. Board Membership: Join the board of directors to help guide the organization's strategy and decision-making.
  6. Corporate Partnerships: If you own a business, consider partnering with a non-profit for mutual benefit. This could include sponsorships, cause marketing, or employee volunteer programs.
  7. In-Kind Services: Offer your professional services pro bono. This could include legal work, accounting, marketing, or IT support.
  8. Networking: Introduce the non-profit to potential donors, volunteers, or partners who can help further their mission.
  9. Skill-Based Volunteering: Use your specific skills to help with projects that require expertise, such as web development, data analysis, or strategic planning.
  10. Mentorship: Provide guidance and support to the non-profit's staff or the people they serve.
Which of these options resonates most with you?
Finding local non-profits is a great way to get involved in your community! Here are some methods to help you locate them:
  1. Online Directories: Websites like GreatNonprofits[1] and Yellow Pages[2] list non-profits and charities in your area, along with reviews and contact information.
  2. Community Centers: Visit local community centers or libraries, which often have bulletin boards or pamphlets about local non-profits and volunteer opportunities.
  3. Social Media: Follow local non-profits on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Many organizations post about their events and volunteer needs.
  4. Local Events: Attend community events, fairs, and markets where non-profits might have booths or representatives.
  5. Yelp: Check out Yelp[3] for reviews and information on non-profits near you.
  6. Word of Mouth: Ask friends, family, and colleagues if they know of any local non-profits that could use help.

History of Strategic Philanthropy and Cause Marketing

Corporate social involvement underwent a major shift in the 1980s and 1990s (Smith, 1994).  Prior to that time, corporate social involvement typically amounted to charitable giving and employee volunteering.

Corporations were good citizens “giving back” to their communities. This all changed in the early 1980s when American Express created the first ever cause related marketing effort.

Amex agreed to make 5 cents donation to the arts in San Francisco every time someone used an American Express card and $2 every time American Express got a new member. In three months, the campaign raised $108,000. The approach gained national attention when American Express tried it on country-wide basis. In 1983, Amex agreed to set aside 1 cent for every card transaction and $1 for each new card issue during the last quarter of 1983, to support the renovation of Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. The program was a great success. American Express reported sales increases of 28 percent over the same period  a year earlier with a total of $1.8 million eventually donated to the renovation project.

​What if older and younger generations worked together to solve the problems that no generation can solve alone?

​
We’re living in the most age-diverse society in human history — and one of the most age-segregated. We’re missing out on the complementary skills and talents people of all ages can bring to the table, the power and energy they can create, the divides they can bridge, the communities and country they can build together. No more. At CoGenerate, we envision a world where older and younger people join forces to solve problems, bridge divides and co-create the future.

​The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - ​in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests
