Christmas in July? That's right! We're announcing our Operation Santa collaboration with Foster SQUAD and we're getting started early to make this a successful initiative! Four Oaks is partnering with Foster SQUAD and 20 other nonprofits throughout Iowa to host over 20 holiday parties for children placed out of home. Our mission is to make sure that every single child in care can submit a wish list and receive gifts from members of their communities. Will you help us? Keep watching our social media pages this month to learn more. Sign up today to be a part of this fantastic partnership: www.fostersquad.org/santa

The mission of the firm I founded, Consero Solutions, is to empower local organizations to enrich communities and protect the environment. We do this by helping to develop organization strategies and processes, find $$$ to implement priorities, and manage projects and programs to achieve desired outcomes. We also know that donating to local non-profit organizations is an important part of empowerment; organizations cannot do their good work without money. If you're in the Sacramento region, I encourage you to donate to your favorite non-profit organizations as part of Big Day of Giving. If you live outside of the Sacramento region, pick today to make a donation to the organization at which a friend works or sign up to volunteer. Communities are built on kind words and incremental effort! Consero's staff picked non-profit organizations to support this year, featured below. Follow Consero Solutions on Linked In and Facebook to learn about local community work and support efforts to make a difference. #BigDayofGiving #Give #NonProfits #MakeADifference https://lnkd.in/gaEikFVu

Looking back on the last four years, we couldn’t have predicted how the pandemic changed all of our lives. It affected our economy in so many ways, especially the nonprofit sector. These critical organizations worked tirelessly throughout the pandemic while watching for profit businesses get support while nonprofits were rarely eligible for the funding. This is where the Michigan Nonprofit Relief Fund was brought to life. We sat down with Joan Gustafson, MNA’s External Affairs Officer, about how the program was built with the State of Michigan to be administered for nonprofits by nonprofits and how small nonprofits depend on contributions that were just not available during the pandemic. Learn more about Michigan nonprofits’ unwavering commitment to their communities by visiting weare501c3.org. Are you engaged in impactful mission-driven efforts? We encourage you to showcase your nonprofit work with the #WeAre501c3 hashtag.
