Support Ukraine Shugart Charitable Giving Fund Many Americans want to support Ukraine but don't know how or if their charitable dollars are really going to support the right causes. Charity Navigator recently created a list of highly rated charities involved in the humanitarian relief, recovery, and peace-building efforts in Ukraine and the surrounding region. Of the organizations on the list, Charity Navigator has given 23 charities a perfect 4-star ranking. Contributions to this campaign will be split evenly among those 23 charities. Contributors receive the tax benefit of making a charitable contribution, and the peace of mind knowing that 100% of contributions will make their way to these charities. What are you waiting for, world-changer? It is time to B Charitable!

Cliff Place Cares Shugart Charitable Giving Fund We've been working hard to simplify charitable giving with our new platform, B Charitable. A big THANK YOU to everyone that has signed up, made contributions and provided feedback. We have a challenge and an invitation for our friends, family and neighbors. Some families from Cliff Place have selected six local charities to benefit from a crowdfunding campaign called Cliff Place Cares. All contributions are eligible for a 50% match from one of our organizers, and each donor will receive a charitable contribution receipt for their donation. So if you give $1, your donation will grow to $1.50 after the match. Through grants to the following charities: Children’s Hospital of Alabama, Community Foodbank of Central Alabama, Magic City Woodworks, Neverthirst, Big Oak Ranch, and Lifeline, this campaign will provide 4,000 meals to hungry children in Central Alabama, dig a well in India that will provide clean water for 18-20 families, provide 3 months of living expenses for a teen needing a chance, teach life skills to 10 orphaned and vulnerable children, teach a trade and life skills to marginalized men, and provide access to world class healthcare for children of Alabama after our goal of $13,100 is reached. Together, we can make a greater impact in the lives of others. I’m excited to see our community rally together and support some amazing causes. Thank you for your generosity in helping others. Please help grow our community's impact by liking, sharing, tagging your neighbors, and commenting on this post.

Mississippi 3/24 Disaster Relief Campaign Shugart Charitable Giving Fund Hey, world changer! As you have probably already heard, severe weather worked its way through Mississippi on the night of Friday, March 24th. According to a tweet from Mississippi's governor Tate Reeves, at least 23 people have lost their lives and the pictures of the damage are heartbreaking. Unfortunately, this number is expected to increase as daylight allows first responders to assess the situation. Mississippians and the organizations helping them need our help! We have created this charitable crowdfunding campaign to help empower our donor network to lead relief efforts. For now, the campaign includes a few major disaster relief organizations, but we will include other charities as we confirm their efforts.  Grants will periodically be distributed to these charities and contributors will receive updates as we go. How can you help? DONATE - every contribution helps. Anybody with this link can make a contribution with a credit card or debit card. Create a free B Charitable account to contribute directly from your donor advised fund, or with a bank transfer, crypto, or appreciated stock.
