After-School All-Stars, Los Angeles’ Post

In my role at Emory University, I'm involved in two major events, our Day of Giving and Emory Giving Week. Right now is Emory Giving Week, and while I realize that most of my friends and connections are very Michigan centric, I'd like to ask that you consider making a small donation to Emory. There are many participating groups and departments that impact and are impacted by current world events, like... -Student Debt, consider General University Scholarships -Mental Health, consider the Student Well Being fund -Those here who are impacted by the Middle East conflict/war/attacks, consider Muslim and Jewish Life, or related student orgs -Reproductive Health, consider the Center for Reproductive Health Research in the Southeast -Emergency Management, consider Emory Emergency Medical Service fund under the University-wide Initiatives umbrella ...and I could go on. Let me know if you have any questions, and use the link below (yes, for tracking purposes) to explore the options. THANK YOU! #2O36GivingWeek https://lnkd.in/gtWnEiQG

Are we helping or hurting? That is a question many residents of San Francisco ask ourselves in the midst of a stark and increasing equity gap. As a parent, community member, and incoming board member of the Horizons at San Francisco Friends School, I’m keenly aware of the potential learning loss our public school students in the Mission District experience in the summer months without our support. Our city is undergoing another crisis - looming budget cuts threaten vital programs like Horizons at SFFS that provide equitable learning for Mission youth. We urgently need your support to secure bridge funding and ensure our summer enrichment continues. Our scholars and families are relying on Horizons' high-quality academics and social-emotional growth.  Horizons has been successfully leveraging the months when students are out of school to stem summer learning loss for children in San Francisco for ~10 years. The program has also intentionally increased impact by supporting their scholars through their educational journey during the school year and into High School. Last year, Horizons impacted 150+ scholars with targeted small classroom instruction, confidence-building, and joyful community enrichment experiences- thanks to our dedicated summer education workforce. But we can't continue without you. Please join me in supporting Horizons at SFFS today to expand partnerships, engage more crisis-impacted families, and grow our supportive community stronger. In past years, the SF Department of Children, Youth and Families has been a partner to increase access to education for our students. This summer, as we face a potential 40% loss to our summer program due to DCYF funding cuts that have impacted so many vital programs in our city, we’ve decided to celebrate Horizons Giving Day, the whole month of May. Please join me in our movement - your gift saves the summer for San Francisco scholars and helps bridge the educational equity gap in our city. Let’s help together.

"At Market Lane, we’re proud supporters of Children's Ground, a bold not-for-profit organisation that is advocating and making change for a brighter future with, and for, First Nations children, families and communities. There are several ways that we walk with Children's Ground. We’ll summarise these here to hopefully inform and inspire individuals and businesses wanting to develop a meaningful connection and partnership with Children’s Ground and/or other likeminded First Nations organisations, but perhaps unsure where to start." https://lnkd.in/gP7tHMS6

I meet with a lot of young alums and those new to #philanthropy, and I love the chance to teach in these moments. Here are some of my #takeaways from these conversations. If you believe that they are helpful, feel free to share. If you have a question, reach out in the comments or send me a message. -You want to make an immediate impact? Support the #AnnualFund. Every dollar of your gift supports us this year. -You are not sure what to support? Support the Annual Fund. Unrestricted gifts allow our leaders to #innovate, #respond and #pivot. -You worry that your gift does not make a difference? Support the Annual Fund. Collective giving is the hallmark of the Annual Fund, and we are stronger together! (Did you know that gifts under $100 still total over $1M for the university every year!) -You want to create a #habit of giving but forget when each year? Support the Annual Fund. We have forms and planning documents to support you in making your giving to WashU part of an intentional plan. -You wish that XXXX had been a (bigger) part of your experience at WashU?

Embrace the spirit of #GivingTuesday! Today is all about the joy of giving back and making a positive impact, and you can do so for our 3,000+ scholars in #Cleveland. The primary focus for Breakthrough Public Schools (BPS) continues to be literacy. Breakthrough’s teachers and leadership are focused on helping scholars who have been the furthest behind to improve, with the goal of having every child able to read and comprehend at grade level or above. Their efforts in the 2022-2023 school year have resulted in positive gains in literacy! BPS has decreased the number of scholars who are 2+ grade levels behind in reading by 24% and math by 29%. Additionally, the network more than doubled the percentage of scholars on grade level for literacy and math. Let’s keep the momentum going!
