Today is giving Tuesday! There are so many incredible organizations doing deserving work and there no way we can highlight them all so we will just highlight a few we really feel connected to. We encourage you to give and share if you can and that’s accessible to you!
1. The Water Bear Cooperative Land Project is a community center and land trust dedicated to programs of learning, healing, and building for the Black community led by @beezandthingsandflowers. You can donate on their website.
2. The Native Wellness Institute exists to promote the well-being of Native people through programs and trainings that embrace the teachings and traditions of our ancestors. You can follow them and donate at @nativewellness or on their website.
3. Gideon’s Army is a community-based, grassroots organization that uses restorative justice programs to dismantle the school-to-prison pipeline through social activism by children, families, and the community. You can follow them and donate at @gideonsarmyunited or on their website.
4. Play Like A Girl is an organization inspiring girls through sport and active play. They work to level the playing field by leveraging the transferable skills girls gain from sport to give them a competitive edge in the classroom and propel young women into competitive, male-dominated careers in STEM. You can follow them and donate @iplaylikeagirl or on their website. (Our CEO is on their young professionals board and truly loves this organization and their mission.)
We hope you love getting to know these organizations and the incredible people that lead them!
