Social capital isn’t just about mentors and industry professionals—it’s also about peer-to-peer connections. When young people participate in programs together, they’re building bonds that can shape their futures. These relationships often evolve into lifelong networks—support systems that grow with them into college, careers, and beyond. Young people are craving these spaces now more than ever, especially as young people increasingly report feelings of isolation despite being "connected" through technology. Right now, Clubs are filled with future lawyers, doctors, activists, and game-changers. Just like Scott Tollett, now President & COO of Victra - Verizon Authorized Retailer, their journeys start here. Let’s keep creating spaces where young people can connect, inspire each other, and build their own social capital. #SocialCapital #YouthDevelopment #YourWorkforceBestie"

Two weeks ago, I had the incredible experience of attending Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in Toronto. The energy was electric—thousands of fans singing in unison, creating a shared sense of connection that was both powerful and uplifting. It reminded me how transformative community can be, and how we can carry that same feeling forward by giving back to others. That’s why #GivingTuesday resonates so deeply. It’s a day to unite through generosity, to create ripples of impact that extend far beyond ourselves. At Aventiv Technologies, I’m proud of the way my colleagues leaned into this spirit of giving, finding meaningful ways to support the communities we serve. When people ask about my favorite part of working at Aventiv Technologies, my answer is always rooted in one word: connection. The power of connection drives everything we do—from building innovative solutions to providing technology that can foster opportunities for upward economic mobility when people return to their communities. And it’s this same spirit of connection that made #GivingTuesday such a standout moment this year. Moments that spark connection should remind us that we’re all part of something bigger, and the bonds we build through purpose and action are what make a difference. Let’s keep that energy alive—whether it’s on stage, in our workplaces, or out in the world. Because as Taylor Swift said “No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.” When we collaborate and reimagine connection with each other, the positive impact we create comes back around, lifting us all. https://lnkd.in/g4PyCW-u  

I read a post on X about someone tying Schwab Charitable to right wing causes associated with conservative Leo Levin. I just want to note that this issue is neither particular to Schwab nor Leo Levin. This is how #DAFs work, and often how many partisan research institutes and think tanks are funded. There are plenty of policy adjacent 501(c)(3)s that masquerade as public charities — and probably should be redesignated as 501(c)(4)s. Note: The most interesting takeaway from the article might be that the 3rd largest recipient of funds from the DAF that year was $120 million to another DAF -> Fidelity Charitable®! We are subsidizing these transfers between wealth warehouses. #philanthropy #charitablegiving #nonprofits #socialimpact

🌟 One of the most inspiring aspects of working in a corporate environment is witnessing the commitment to social responsibility. Many organisations prioritise ongoing workplace giving, and I'm proud to be part of a team that actively contributes to the wider community and supports those in need. Every little effort counts, and it's rewarding to see how our collective actions can make a meaningful difference. How does your workplace engage in giving back?

Warren Buffett's estate planning has left charities scrambling to adjust to potential changes in his philanthropic endeavors. The billionaire's pledge to give away 99% of his fortune has sparked a shift in focus towards a Buffett family foundation supporting abortion rights, potentially reshaping the philanthropy landscape. As the world of giving evolves, it's crucial for organizations to adapt and innovate in their charitable efforts. #Philanthropy #EstatePlanning #CharitableGiving #WarrenBuffett #GivingBack https://lnkd.in/eHpmxEB4

Conversations with the next generation about philanthropy shouldn’t be a one-way street. It’s important to encourage your children and grandchildren to ask questions, get involved, and express their own ideas about what philanthropy means to them. At William Blair, we examine best practices for families to involve the next generation in philanthropy and how to lead charitable activities here: https://lnkd.in/giJtNvSD

👨🎓📚🫶As ever, an informative & very enjoyable presentation by William Hopkin on "Five conundrums for charitable companies". It's such a skill to be able to squeeze so much content & history in a mere hour! The function & role of members & directors of a charitable company can often be confusing, especially where an individual wears both hats. I highly recommend these free educational lectures so do take a look out. Looking forward to attending the upcoming NSC's charities conference & listening to Part 2 in the summer! #nscwebinar #legalupdate #knowledgesharing
