@FidelityChrtbl Inspired by acts of kindness, like students tutoring peers, families volunteering together, and educators going above and beyond. These gestures remind us of the power of compassion and unity. #CharitableChat 🌟

Q10. Although the world faces many challenges, we remain full of hope and want to end on a high note: What acts of kindness have you seen and been inspired by recently? #CharitableChat

@FidelityChrtbl In these challenging times, philanthropy is a revolutionary act. There is a national decrease in giving. Now, more than ever, your generosity drives change, empowers communities, and shapes a brighter future. Thank you for being a beacon of hope. #CharitableChat 🌟🤝

Q9. As we head into what many call “giving season” with charitable giving at top of mind for most people, what is the TOP thing you want donors to keep in mind this year? #CharitableChat

Q7. On the topic of making more of a difference in your community, our research shows Human Services is the top charitable sector donors supported across the US in the past year. How can people offer support those in need beyond donating dollars? #CharitableChat

@FidelityChrtbl Dive into Durham's heart! Explore local needs with INDY, volunteer with us, stroll through your neighborhood, and engage neighbors in conversation. Understanding our community strengthens bonds and fosters impactful change. #CharitableChat 🏙️✨

Q6. Now more than ever, we see donors drawn to help their local communities. How can they learn about pressing needs? Where would you recommend they start? #CharitableChat

@FidelityChrtbl Acknowledging power dynamics and race in philanthropy is crucial. Only 0.6% of foundations support organizations targeted at women of color. Let's strive for inclusive, empowering initiatives that address systemic disparities. #CharitableChat 🌍✊

Q5. Technology continues to change the philanthropic landscape from how donors give (like social media fundraisers) to what they give (we see you #crypto donors!). What trends are you most excited about? What would you like to see in the future? #CharitableChat

@FidelityChrtbl Our focus for 2024 centers on enhancing student support services, fostering community collaborations, and advancing educational equity. Your continued generosity empowers us to transform lives. Thank you! #CharitableChat

Q4. A recent survey shows most Fidelity Charitable donors are called to give more to charity during these challenging times. But what should they know about how your needs and challenges shifted? What do you see as the biggest focus for 2024? #CharitableChat

@FidelityChrtbl Evaluate charities using reputable platforms like Charity Navigator or GuideStar. Verify their nonprofit status and scrutinize financial reports. Stay vigilant against scams—trustworthy organizations welcome scrutiny. #CharitableChat

Q3. What are other ways donors can evaluate charities they may be interested in supporting? How can donors donate wisely and avoid scams? #CharitableChat

@FidelityChrtbl Look for transparent nonprofits sharing success stories, testimonials, and concrete data. Engage with organizations directly, ask questions, and seek updates on projects funded. Your involvement and trust ensure impact! #CharitableChat

Q2. Our research shows donors are increasingly focused on how their donations influence specific outcomes. How can they know their support is making an impact—especially when the orgs and disasters they’re supporting may be far away? #CharitableChat

@FidelityChrtbl Spend time to find your #why. Sometimes it's relevant to current events, other times, it's deeply personal. Give accordingly. Focus giving by identifying causes aligning with your passions & values. Set a budget, research nonprofits, & prioritize local impact. #CharitableChat

Q1. With so many year-end appeals, mailed solicitations, and requests from friends and colleagues, there's always another worthy cause to give to. What advice would you give to help donors focus their giving and avoid “analysis paralysis”? #CharitableChat

Our hearts are heavy after the tragic Jacksonville shooting. It's more than loss—it's confronting societal shadows and the dualities faced by Black Americans. Our journey to justice isn't straightforward; challenges demand our unwavering determination. studentudurham.org/navigating-dua…
