This video captures why I am so passionate about my nonprofit Slingshot Memphis, Inc. Businesses spend so much time, effort, and analytical rigor when it comes to trying to make money - imagine if we put forth that same level of time, effort, and analytical rigor to fight poverty and help improve the quality of peoples' lives. Every year, Slingshot raises money through our Accelerate Impact Fund to support nonprofits that are effective (we know which are effective because we study and measure their impact). What is unique is that 100 percent of the contributions go directly to these nonprofits, but in proportion to how effective they are (i.e. the most effective nonprofits receive more funding). This approach ensures our philanthropy has the most impact possible in helping reduce poverty. It would mean a lot to me if you were willing to make a contribution before the end of the year. Any amount makes a different when it supports effective poverty-fighting organizations. https://lnkd.in/e7c36BQF

Announcing The Swell Collective as the latest winner of a #SonyCreateAction grant! The Swell Collective serves communities that historically have been oppressed or marginalized by inspiring, equipping, and amplifying change-agents with positive sum practices. Positive-sum outcomes are those in which the sum of winnings and losses result in a sum greater than zero – in the other words, leaving the world a better place than how we found it. By investing care, peer support, and capacity-building resources into communities, The Swell Collective aims to accelerate the world’s emergence into a positive-sum future. Born out of the #SonyGlobalSocialJusticeFund, Create Action supports underserved, underrepresented communities by amplifying the efforts of local, grassroots nonprofits. The Swell Collective is the 23rd nonprofit to win a Create Action grant, totaling $2.3 million in Sony products and grants to date. As recipients of the grant, The Swell Collective receives $50K funding, $50K in Sony equipment, a custom film promoting their efforts, and more. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/g9eWWNEA #SonyCares"

I'M GIVING BACK 💰👇 (seriously) But first, let me give you a visual 👀 —one that starts with a small nonprofit driven by passion and a relentless commitment to change lives... Yet, despite their unwavering dedication, they face a common hurdle: the struggle to secure the donations needed to make a real impact. Well, this resonated deeply with us all, at Upstart 13. We really get it, how the weight of those early challenges feels, stuck without access to expensive resources. That’s why we decided to do something about it. ➡ Enter the Give Back Program—a personal mission for me. It's not only just donations; it's also about fueling change and amplifying impact. It's about the lives we touch and the stories we create together. In our latest blog post, I finally reveal how the Give Back Program is making a difference, one partnership at a time. https://lnkd.in/e9uA9t9t So, let's make a new journey together. 🌟
