Q10. Although the world faces many challenges, we remain full of hope and want to end on a high note: What acts of kindness have you seen and been inspired by recently? #CharitableChat
A9: Your gift, no matter the size, matters! Unrestricted gifts, big or small, allow nonprofit leaders & staff to maximize their time & attention on what matters most – delivering on their critical missions in support of the communities they serve. #CharitableChat@FidelityChrtbl
Q9. As we head into what many call “giving season” with charitable giving at top of mind for most people, what is the TOP thing you want donors to keep in mind this year? #CharitableChat
@FidelityChrtbl A8: Champion the social causes you care about at the dinner table. Talk to your family, explain why and how you give, then ask them about the orgs they support! Consider pooling resources to make a larger gift together than you could make alone. #CharitableChat@FidelityChrtbl
@FidelityChrtbl A7: Share your giving on social media to help spread the word! Introduce other potential donors to the organizations you support. Serve on leadership boards. Lend your expertise as a thought partner on key aspects of the work. #CharitableChat@FidelityChrtbl
@FidelityChrtbl A6 Engage directly and authentically with nonprofits that partner directly with local communities. Listen w/ humility and an open heart, understanding that those closest to the problems will have the most grounded understanding of the issues & the best solutions #CharitableChat
@FidelityChrtbl A6: Start by researching nonprofits serving your community. Perhaps there’s a mentoring program, food bank, or environmental clean-up effort nearby. Leverage local platforms like community boards & social media groups to plug in to pressing needs. #CharitableChat@FidelityChrtbl
@FidelityChrtbl A4 We see a wave of BIPOC-led leadership transitions happening. These leaders need flexible, increased funding to face unique challenges, work expansively, and implement visions. Investing in transformative leadership now will yield outsized impact beyond 2024 #CharitableChat
A4: Burnout & turnover have skyrocketed in the wake of a global pandemic, economic uncertainty & our nation’s racial reckoning. Orgs are in need of flexible, dependable long-term funding to help them weather these challenges & emerge stronger. #CharitableChat@FidelityChrtbl
Q4. A recent survey shows most Fidelity Charitable donors are called to give more to charity during these challenging times. But what should they know about how your needs and challenges shifted? What do you see as the biggest focus for 2024? #CharitableChat
@FidelityChrtbl A3: Do your due diligence: Research the organization’s accomplishments, leadership, and financial stability. Websites like Candid are great resources that gather this kind of information in one transparent place. #CharitableChat@FidelityChrtbl
@FidelityChrtbl A2: Do your research! Reading annual reports is a great way to learn about the specific outcomes your donations are supporting. Attending events and volunteering also allows donors to see the transformative work they are supporting firsthand. #CharitableChat@FidelityChrtbl
@FidelityChrtbl A1: Reflect on which causes truly light your fire and research organizations addressing them! Consider this a great opportunity to connect with your core values and leverage your financial resources to make a meaningful difference. #CharitableChat@FidelityChrtbl
