Most people think that the only way to donate is by giving money. But your time & skills can be just as valuable. Every quarter at Pink Trumpet, I donate to an organization that supports women & girls. In Q1 of 2024, I gave my time & resources. Recently, I supported: → Pastoral Women’s Council (PWC) With their 2023 annual report. For many nonprofits, while an annual report is a great fundraising tool, the cost of creating one can be quite high. It’s instances like this where the gift of time can be the most valuable donation. Check out a few pages of the report here and a link to their website is in the comment below!
