Many scientists and activists have declared this decade “make or break” for climate action, and if you step outside, it is not difficult to understand why. Whether you’ve experienced extreme heat waves or intensifying drought, it’s clear that the climate crisis is already having a tangible impact on the world around us. With such high stakes, it is essential for groups—both small and large—to take action for a liveable future. However, such action can often feel daunting. The climate crisis is unfurling at a global scale, we might ask ourselves, so is it really possible to make change at the local level? Local action can help us discover solutions that can have a much larger impact than we might originally believe. Plus, it allows us to embody the future we hope to live in, resisting despair and embracing a better world.

If you’re looking for some inspiration, here are 10 climate-conscious projects we love. Read the full story about these projects ➡️ https://hubs.li/Q02lr0Dd0

It’s the end of the year, which means gathering with friends and family, celebrating the holidays, and—yes—fundraising. 30% of all annual fundraising happens during the month of December. This makes the last four weeks of the year crucial for next year’s success, but that pressure can be overwhelming. How do you know even know where to begin? With limited time and capacity, what’s most important to focus on? What’s the best way to demonstrate all that you’ve accomplished this year?

In ioby’s Comprehensive Guide to End-of-Year Fundraising, we’ve compiled a checklist of everything you need to make the most of this month. With decades of combined experience, our coaches help ioby leaders get their projects funded year round. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate! We’re here to help you spark transformation (and fundraise) in December and beyond. Full guide at https://hubs.li/Q02cB5N10.
