Pay it Forward Day with Simple Acts of Kindness

 

TrikleTrade believes in the values of community, giving, empowerment through giving, connection, and connection through simple acts of kindness. Through our Pay it Forward Movement we encourage people who have joined our vision to act with kindness and pay forward each act of kindness when possible to another TrikleTrade community member. Although there is an annual Pay it Forward Day and similarly #Giving Tuesday, we believe every day is an opportunity to #give and celebrate Pay it Forward Day. Please read below to learn about Giving Tuesday and how you can participate in your community or on TrikleTrade.com. (Source: Giving Tuesday | November 27, 2018)

Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving. Since its inaugural year in 2012, #GivingTuesday has become a movement that celebrates and supports giving, philanthropy, and simple acts of kindness with events throughout the year and a growing catalog of resources.

Created by the team at the Belfer Center for Innovation & Social Impact at the 92nd Street Y—a cultural center in New York City that, since 1874, has been bringing people together around the values of service and giving back—#GivingTuesday connects diverse groups of individuals, communities, and organizations around the world for one common purpose: to celebrate and encourage giving. A team of influencers and founding partners joined forces, collaborating across sectors, offering expertise and working tirelessly, to launch #GivingTuesday and have continued to shape, grow and strengthen the movement.

#GivingTuesday harnesses the potential of social media and the generosity of people around the world to bring about real change in their communities; it provides a platform for them to encourage the donation of time, resources and talents to address local challenges. It also brings together the collective power of a unique blend of partners— nonprofits, civic organizations, businesses and corporations, as well as families and individuals—to encourage and amplify small acts of kindness.

As a global movement, #GivingTuesday unites countries around the world by sharing our capacity to care for and empower one another.

#GivingTuesday was founded in 2012 by New York’s 92nd Street Y in partnership with the United Nations Foundation. Together, with a team of influencers and founding partners, a global movement was launched that has engaged thousands of organizations worldwide.

Socially Responsible Investing - Balancing Social Values with Financial Goals

Image
In recent times, there has been a growing interest and curiosity in the concept of ‘socially responsible funds’.  This has lead investment companies offering mutual funds and similar financial products to grow their portfolios to better serve their clients. As a way to keep abreast of changing investment habits, as it relates to social values, investment companies recently surveyed potential clients.  The majority of the responses were from women and people under the age of forty-nine.  These responses indicate that investors believe having choices to be socially responsible in their investments is important.  Traditional core tenets still remain the standard, such as to increase long-term profits through positive customer experience, and incorporate high ethical standards.  However, the new socially responsible investor is looking for corporate social responsibility strategies that go beyond the standard.  Investors are looking for companies that have a proven positive social im

The Benefits of Being Kind to Others

Image
The world is not full of bad people. There are quite a few who perform simple acts of kindness to benefit others. In fact, these random acts of kindness that they perform also benefit their own overall health, with or without their knowledge. These are so simple; you can do them too. It is these acts, that add up to your goodwill, which is more contagious than just smiling at the people you see on the street. These are not just random acts, but go a long way in helping you develop a habit of sharing your kindness that has a lot of nurturing as well as healing power.

He has worked in the banking industry for forty years, which helps him tutor students well. The college doesn’t pay him; he simply does it on his own. He says this keeps him younger and sharper. This is something he chose as he did not want to sit id
