It's Monday, and we're sharing the truth behind a common misconception in PR & Marketing... Myth or fact? You decide! Myth: They won't work with us, they only work with charities and other not-for-profits. Fact: Not true! We work with businesses of all shapes and sizes; and although we have worked with charities, many of our clients are B2C and/or B2B. #togetherwecan #nonprofitpartner #missiondriven #mythvsfact #mythbustingmondays

Help Restock the Food Bank and Make a Difference! The local food bank is facing an urgent shortage, and it’s time for our community to step up. At Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Preferred Real Estate, we’re joining the effort to restock the shelves. We’re asking everyone in Auburn and the surrounding areas to bring non-perishable food items to our office so we can make a positive impact together. Every single item helps! Why Your Donation Matters: With the rising cost of living, more families than ever are turning to the food bank for help. These donations provide essential nutrition and support to those who need it most in our community. A small contribution can make a huge difference, from providing a warm meal to easing the burden of a tight budget. How You Can Help: Drop off canned goods, pasta, rice, peanut butter, and other shelf-stable items at our Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Preferred Real Estate office.

Everyone’s story is different, and the causes closest to our hearts are just as unique. For one person, it’s clean water access; for another, it’s criminal justice reform. That’s why we’re building a curated list of top-rated charities for every major cause category. By offering a diverse list of carefully vetted charities, Inspired helps everyone discover a cause that truly matters to them. For brands, it’s an opportunity to offer their customers a choice – to pick a cause that aligns with their values, and to feel personally invested in making an impact. This approach also allows brands to understand their customers on a new level, creating a powerful connection that goes beyond the transaction. Together, we’re making every act of giving inspired by what matters most to you.

It’s officially Boxtober 🎁 and International Older Peoples Day! ❤️ Some top tips below for some easy ways to support older people in your area, please do sponsor a box if you are able 🎁

Should I send appeal letters to my major donors? Here’s a thought—do your major donors really want to be the proud owners of yet another generic letter for their recycling bin? Probably not. From personal experience, most donors aren’t fans of appeal letters. They’re impersonal, and frankly, your donor is likely juggling more mail from charities than your average postie sees in a day. The best way to secure support during a campaign or appeal? A personal connection. Meet them in person if you can (bonus points if there’s coffee involved), or pick up the phone if distance is an issue. Trust me, your chances of success skyrocket when you leave the paper trail behind. That said, if you must send a letter, don’t let it go out alone—add a handwritten note. It’s like adding sprinkles to a cupcake. It shows care, and it stands out. If you're kicking of this year and want to review your Major Donor strategy or create one, DM me and let's tee up a discovery call. #bebold #fundraising #donotmail
