"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion to clarity." – Melody Beattie This quote beautifully reflects the heart of nonprofit work and grant support. Gratitude fuels the mission—transforming limited resources into powerful impact, uncertainty into opportunity, and challenges into clarity of purpose. In the world of grants, gratitude is a bridge. It deepens relationships with funders, fosters trust, and inspires communities to work together toward change. By recognizing what we have, we create space for growth and innovation, unlocking possibilities to serve more and do more. How has gratitude shaped your work this year? Let’s celebrate the power it brings to creating change! ??

We must act from this grounded place, especially to protect those most at risk. We can connect even more deeply, uplifting the diversity of views and experiences in our communities which will help us come together.

As we enter the holiday season, it’s important to remember that not everyone experiences this time as joyful. For many, financial strain, loneliness, or personal challenges can make this season especially difficult. The pressure to meet societal expectations – like gift giving, or hosting – can feel overwhelming, while others may grapple with grief or isolation. As we see in our own community, food bank usage and homelessness are both on the rise and are just a couple of the many reasons why we feel it is important to give back. This season offers an opportunity to show empathy and kindness, reminding us that the true spirit of the holidays lies in the compassion and community. Giving Tuesday is a global movement that encourages generosity and charitable giving. It takes place annually on the Tuesday after American Thanksgiving, following Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Established in 2012 by the 92nd Street Y and the United Nations Foundation, it aims to shift the focus from consumerism to altruism during the holiday season. Organizations and individuals participate by donating to causes they care about, volunteering, or raising awareness for nonprofit initiatives. Social media plays a significant role, with hashtags like #GivingTuesday used to amplify the movement’s reach. The day has grown into an international event, inspiring generosity worldwide. Please visit the link below to find out more about the initiative and to discover ways you can get involved. Happy holidays! https://lnkd.in/eAUqA2cD
