Great question, we specifically designed this special event to be flexible with people's schedules. We know there are graduations, end of school years, summer vacation, weddings, etc. that happen in June. Our thought was if you could give two hours, you can do some acts of kindness. And these two hours could be anytime that works with your schedule (after work, weekend, after school, evening, etc.). And if you find that June is just way to busy, that is ok. We invite you to do your acts at a time that works for you (it could be May, it could be July). We just encourage you to keep your donors and sponsors updated on when you are going to do your acts. And if you could share pictures with them (and us on social media) we all would love that. It also helps them feel like they are doing the acts of kindness with you in spirit.
Any and every donation helps us assist more people get connected with the resources and services that specialise in their unique needs (confidentially and at no-cost). There is no minimum amount to participate. We do encourage each participant to raise $125 which gets you the a special thank you gift. This could be done with five people donating/sponsoring for $25.
We love the idea of businesses or organizations agreeing to sponsor for Kindness Matters (as an event) and your team. Sponsorships are tax deductible since we are a 501(c)3 non-profit. Sponsorships oppertunties start at $500. If you have an interest in learning more about the different sponsorship opportunties, let's talk. KindnessMatters@WeAreTheOthers.net
We differ in a wide variety of ways. We believe in doing acts of kindness in our local communities and neighbors. We suggest that the acts of kindness you and your team choose to do are done locally. We also suggest that acts of kindness (which you can decide what you want to do) be a way of saying thank you to those who donate or sponsor you.
We encourage and invite anyone who is in chaitable need to contact us. It could be the person who needs the assistance, or it could be someone who is contacting because they care about the person. Contacting us is confidential and the request doesn't need to give any identifing information like a name. They can submit a request for help directly on our website home page, here, or by calling us at 775-372-1700. We will assist the person with learning about their need, assigning a case manager and support team, share potential referrals for assistance, follow up to make sure the person got assistance until the case get closed. All done confidentially and at no-cost.
