Leadership
Since 2015, @yarrowsociety has been working with Chinese-speaking seniors in their community of Vancouver's Chinatown district, helping them access medical support, housing, income, and government services.
💛
Right now, supporting one another is more important than ever. This year, Yarrow is raising $50,000 to organize, reduce isolation for seniors, and ensure access to health care during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
💛
They've already raised $28,141 - but they still have a ways to go.
Here's how they did it:
✅Told the stories real seniors they've helped
✅Make donations tangible, such as "$10 will buy a bag of groceries"
✅Lots of pictures of volunteers and beneficiaries, plus beautiful art made to promote the campaign
✅Plenty of background information on Yarrow's mission to build credibility
💛
We're so inspired by the amazing work @yarrowsociety is doing! Get the full story at the link in our bio.

Prior to Alice's diagnosis, she was an international flight attendant and accomplished marathon runner. But #MultipleSclerosis changed all that, limiting how she could move and express herself in the world.
💛
When Alice saw the #Alinker on TV, she knew it would help her find new ways to enjoy life. With her crowdfunding campaign, she was able to raise $2,270 - more than enough to buy a new walking bike!
💛
Here's how she did it:
✅Partnership with @@the_alinker_world
✅Photos and videos to tell her story
✅Realistic goal

When @midwestpugrescue was asked to take in 12 dogs from a puppy mill in China, they knew they'd need support from their community. All of these dogs were bred to live in cages, or be sold to the meat markets in China.
🐶
With an emergency FundRazr campaign, @midwestpugrescue is raising enough money to fly these pugs and French bulldogs to the United States, and get them proper care and loving homes once they get here.
🐶
Their campaign has already raised $1,520! Here's how they did it:
✅Timely, urgent story of why these dogs need to be saved
✅Cute pictures help us connect to the animals
✅Micro-campaign to benefit a few dogs rather than their whole nonprofit
🐶

The historic bell tower is a beautiful highlight of @indianhillscollege 's campus. But now, its system is getting old, and if it's not replaced, the bell tower won't be able to ring any more.

By bringing together their community, the school was able to raise $12,044 - 86% of their goal - to keep bells ringing for generations of students to come.
🔔
Here's how they did it:

Mental illness is just as widespread as physical sickness. And just like any other health problem, it should never be a source of judgement or shame.

From loss of jobs to barriers to education, the migrant and refugee community has been one of the hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.
🌍
@edmecocanada is raising money to support young migrant and refugee adults where they're at, especially with mental health support, meeting daily needs and continuing their education.
🌍
@edmecocanada knows how to help, because they've been there too. They were founded by young adults of different immigrant and refugee backgrounds, many of whom arrived in Canada as teenagers, speaking almost no English.
🌍
Their #FundRazr campaign has brought in $3,498 - but they have big plans to raise much more!
🌍
Here's how they did it:
✅Telling us exactly how donations will be spent
✅Sharing exactly how migrant youth have been affected by COVID-19
✅Being open about the charity's journey, and how they're survivors too
🌍
@edmecocanada, we're so inspired by your amazing story! Find out more at the link in our bio.

These small-scale coffee farmers are passionate about their craft, but many are barely earning enough to stay in business. New nonprofit Bridazul sees a solution; pre-paying the farmers for their product, which means they'll have the cashflow to export their coffee, pay their workers, and earn a much better wage.
☕
With FundRazr, they're aiming to raise €5,000 to help local farmers earn more off 5,000 pounds of coffee. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, they've already raised €2,333.
☕
Here's how they did it:
✅Background information on why the farmers need our help
✅Matching funds from a campaign founder
✅Pictures of the farmers at work
☕
Amazing work, Bridazul! Get the full story at the link in our bio.

#ProofCanada, a @uoft food-insecurity research program, found that 1 in 8 Canada households had inadequate or insecure access to food. Worse, this number is an underestimate, since the survey sample did not inclue three groups at high risk of food insecurity: people living on First Nations reserves, people in remote northern areas, or people who are without housing.

Enbridge Energy is attempting to run an enormous new tar sands pipeline through Ojibwe Treaty territory, Minnesota. Throughout the state, Indigenous people, tribes, organizations, and collectives are leading the fight to stop this climate disaster in the making.
✊
@giniwcollective, @theyesmen and #DeepSoupMedia think it's time these frontline communities have the resources to tell their own stories. That's why they're raising funds to provide media production gear and training for Indigenous activists on the frontlines of this fight.
✊
Their fund has already raised an incredible 92% of their goal - that $13,744!
Here's how they did it:
✅ Strategic, collaborative partnership between three like-minded groups
✅ Background information on why the pipeline violates Indigenous rights and sovereignty
✅ Clear and specific goal
✊
We applaud the hard work and courage of these three activist groups! Get the full story at the link in our bio.
