As we approach our 40th anniversary, we’re reflecting on our roots. Our early leaders knew that philanthropy wasn’t just for the wealthy and white to take part in. We are all philanthropists. And in 1991, our then Executive Director, Hayat Imam, developed a new fundraising model based on that very idea. This project would form an endowment for the fund and set us up for success for decades to come. It was called the 2000 Club.“I was playing with numbers, and I said: ‘I can’t believe this, but 2,000 people giving $100 a year for five years adds up to a million dollars!’ The idea was to get a lot of people to give a little bit of money on a regular basis. That would be much easier to achieve than a few people giving a lot of money — and clearly we didn't have the second option.”"Now this notion is out there: that a lot of people giving a small amount of money is a lot of money. I sometimes smile and think: 'we did that first!'” “We're all donors in our own way. We give time; we give money if we can; we do the work. There was this very artificial division between donors and grantees that I found very uncomfortable. It created a hierarchy. And I wondered if we could think differently about this. Couldn’t we all be donors of the Boston Women's Fund, including our grantees?”Head to https://bit.ly/4a7AHEq for the full blog!

The Halo Awards are the highest recognition for outstanding corporate social impact initiatives. That's what makes it extraordinary that the Halos have recognized Arby's and the Arby's Foundation not once, not twice, but THREE times as Halo finalists for our work in 2023.1. The Arby's Make A Difference Campaign is one of 3 finalists in the "Best Intersectional Initiative." 2. The Arby's School Lunch Debt Paydown Campaign was recognized as one of 6 finalists in the "Best JEDI Initiative."3. The Arby's partnership with 3DE Schools was recognized as one of four finalists in the "Best Direct Service Initiative."While there are way too many people to formally recognize for this great work (I'd have to list nearly every single Arby's team member and franchisee), I do want to highlight the following groups for leading and executing this work:The Arby's Foundation Board: Andy D'Agosto, Lou Beccarelli, Mitchell Johnson, Jay Johnson, Anissa Mandell-Chance, Rita Patel, JoAnn Reilly, Stephanie Sentell. Also, grateful for the way Tony Lutfi led throughout his term before rolling off at the end of last year and for John Kelly's above and beyond support of the MADC campaign.The best Foundation team you can find anywhere: Jonathan Adams, Molly Anderkin, Ellis Baxter, Fawn Benberry, Emily Crawford, Jahari Fraser, Aimee Guanlao, Kristin Lutch, Catherine Stranberg, Ryan Van SickleAnd, finally, Christopher Fuller for leading all of Inspire's philanthropic work across all of our brands. #EFG2024 #Impact #Makeadifference #CSRTo learn more and/or to support this life-changing work:

TapKat sweepstakes grow from year to year. The Shelby American Collection ran our first sweepstakes in 2016. After years of barely making ends meet with annual galas, we got the idea to do a sweepstakes for a Shelby GT350 Mustang. In 2016, the sweepstakes raised $255,000. It was more than enough to cover our expenses for the year. In 2017, we decided to build on our success and run another sweepstakes for a Shelby GT350 R Model Mustang. We didn't know if people would enter again. That year, we raised just under $400,000. Every year since, we have run a sweepstakes fundraiser with TapKat and continued to grow. Last year, we raised $1.5M, and we're on track for a similar or better raise this year. Our mailing list is now over 56,000 donors (we started with a list of 800 donors in 2016). Since running sweepstakes, we consistently see 4x more people in the museum than we did before sweepstakes became part of our annual fundraising strategy, which gives us the opportunity to share our mission of preserving the history of Carroll Shelby and the Shelby American team with more people. Our annual events — now more for fun than anything else — are huge, sometimes with 1000+ people in attendance. Sweepstakes fundraising works. Check out The Shelby American Collection's current sweepstakes, closing September 3rd, at the link in comments. #fundraising #TapKat #fundraisingideas #nonprofitfundraising

For those of you who know me well, education was my ticket out of a very unpredictable and unstable upbringing. One of my many joys in life has been to give back to underrepresented youth. And one of the most important organizations my wife Devon Gold and I have committed our time and resources to is Peninsula Bridge, a Bay Area-based non-profit that serves more than 900 students each year – all from low-income backgrounds – on a 13 year path from 4th grade through college graduation. Here are some measures of the organization's incredible effectiveness:-- 100% of Peninsula Bridge students graduate high school admissible to UC/CSU compared to 30% of low-income students in California;-- 100% of Peninsula Bridge students are admitted to 4 year colleges and universities;-- 94% of Peninsula Bridge students are on track to graduate college in 4-6 years compared to 11% of low-income students nationallyThis past summer, The Trium Group hired two amazing interns, Victor Hernandez Barajas and Luis Mendoza Ramirez. And last week, my wife and I attended the annual fundraiser where I personally pledged to amplify my impact by reaching out to my network to ask for support. This is that outreach. If you are looking to commit your energy and resources to an organization that spends 90% or more of its budget on directly impacting and changing the lives of low-income students, their families, and our communities, there are three ways to help:-- You can donate directly at https://lnkd.in/gYUFihvi-- You can volunteer to mentor-- You can hire an intern for the summer of 2024Thank you for simply considering to support such an important organization.

I can always count on Todd S. Healy, MSW®, CLU®, ChFC®, AEP®, CAP® for a thought provoking, intellectual and entertaining experience. This evening was no exception!Legendary advisors Marvin Blum and Thomas Rogerson discussed their revolutionary approach to “the business of family” and how estate planning should really be founded on FAMILY, not MONEY.I’m regularly talking to families grappling with how to sustain the very best of their family culture across generations. A few conversation starters, shamelessly borrowed from Tom’s presentation:🔴 have you involved your family in crafting your legacy plan?🟠 have you ever considered designating resources so that your heirs can invest in their relationships? From my philanthropic lens, this could mean setting aside a portion of the family philanthropic fund that is awarded to charities through a collective decision making process.🟡 how are you creating an atmosphere of interdependence, where entrepreneurial spirit is best positioned to thrive? Engaging your children in family financial decisions and encouraging their input is a great place to start. Some families are creating “generational DAFs” where generation 2 or generation 3 share a pool of charitable funds.If you’re an advisor, how are you starting these conversations with your clients?
