I gave because of love.. “ It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving." - Mother Theresa ❤️

I’m only a student so I can’t donate a lot but I saw one your videos and I genuinely started crying. God save the people of Gaza and free Palestine.

Great people making the most of what they have

Everyone of us can make a difference. The sum of us is larger than our parts. Every penny counts. You can be a force in change. 

EduCare positively impacts the lives of our future, our youth.

The Tutu Fellowship changed my life, and I hope I can help pay it forward to similarly impact the lives of others. Beyond the one year fellowship, it reamins a lifelong community and a safe haven for personal growth and development and learning.

Julianas Animal Sanctuary Inc is a nonprofit organization focused on advocating or providing services for animals. It is based in Edmonds, WA. It received its nonprofit status in 2015.

**🌱 Juliana’s Animal Sanctuary – Love All. Serve All.**

**Juliana’s Animal Sanctuary** is Colombia’s first and only legally registered animal sanctuary, founded with a mission to protect the most vulnerable animals and educate the public on compassion, sustainability, and nonviolence. Nestled in the Andes Mountains just outside Bogotá, we offer a safe, loving home to more than 100 rescued animals—each with their own story of resilience and hope.

From abused cows and abandoned pigs to rescued dogs, sheep, rabbits, and chickens, our sanctuary is a living testament to the power of love and second chances.

**🐄 Who We Are**

Founded in 2006 by **Juliana Castañeda**, a passionate animal advocate and certified nutritionist, Juliana’s Animal Sanctuary began as a humble act of love and has grown into a nationally recognized safe haven for farm animals in Colombia.

Juliana works alongside her husband, **Paul Rodney Turner** (founder of Food for Life Global), and a small but dedicated team to care for the animals, manage the sanctuary, and spread a message of compassion throughout Latin America and beyond.

We operate as a **registered nonprofit charity** in Colombia and as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in the United States. Our work is 100% funded by donors who believe in a kinder world for all beings.

**🐷 What We Do**

**🛟 Animal Rescue & Sanctuary**

We rescue animals from abuse, neglect, slaughterhouses, and factory farms. Every resident receives:

**🌍 Community Impact**

We collaborate with educators, animal rights organizations, and local leaders to:

- Promote environmental sustainability
- Inspire kindness and nonviolence in youth and families
- Challenge speciesism

**🐾 Why Our Work Matters**

While companion animals like dogs and cats are slowly gaining legal protection in Colombia, farm animals remain invisible victims of cruelty and neglect. At Juliana’s Sanctuary, we make their stories visible. We give them names, we share their journeys, and most importantly—we give them **the right to live**.

These animals are not food, machines, or commodities. They are sentient beings who deserve to live in peace. We are here to honor that truth and inspire others to do the same.

**✨ Impact at a Glance**

- 🐮 Over 200 animals rescued since 2006
- 🍃 Hundreds of vegan education sessions in schools and communities

**💵 Become a Monthly Donor**

Recurring donations help us provide consistent, quality care and plan for the future. Even $10/month makes a huge impact.

**🧡 Sponsor an Animal**

**🛠️ Volunteer or Fundraise**

We welcome both in-person and remote volunteers. Have skills in writing, fundraising, digital marketing, or animal care? We’d love to hear from you!

**🌿 A Vision for the Future**

We dream of building a **model vegan education center** on our sanctuary land—complete with workshops, retreats, and school visits. A place where children can meet animals as friends, not food. Where compassion is cultivated, and where the next generation of changemakers can be inspired.

With your help, this dream is possible.

OutFront Minnesota Community Services is Minnesota's largest LGBTQ+ advocacy organization. 

For over 35 years, OutFront Minnesota has advocated for more inclusive LGBTQ+ laws and policies at the state legislature, built more inclusive school environments for LGBTQ+ youth, and provided a helpline and support to LGBTQ+ folks experiencing violence.

OutFront has fought for LGBTQ+ equity since 1987, and our accomplishments are many. In 1993 we led the campaign to pass the Minnesota Human Rights Act to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity; in 2013 we organized to pass marriage equality; and in 2014 we passed The Safe & Supportive Schools Act, one of the strongest anti-bullying laws in the country.

Even in just the past several years OutFront has made enormous strides in organizing our community members and propelling the movement forward for LGBTQ+ rights in Minnesota. With our support—and after ten years of organizing—Minnesota finally passed a law to ban the harmful practice of conversion therapy. We also helped pass a law to make Minnesota a transgender refuge state, solidifying Minnesota as a bastion of LGBTQ+ rights in the Midwest. On the local level, we also passed municipal policies to make Minnesota more inclusive, such as passing gender inclusion policies in some of our largest school districts.

This is in addition to our educational equity work that supports over 3,000 LGBTQ+ youth with the trainings, resources, and events needed to build safer and more inclusive schools. We also support over 300 victims/survivors with our anti-violence helpline, financial assistance, and advocacy every year.

*“[OutFront Minnesota’s] Youth Summit helped me feel more like I can be me and reveal my identity.”* – LGBTQ+ youth participant in our 2023 Youth Summit event

These accomplishments are possible because of the experience, scope, and community-based nature of OutFront. Our work is and always will be based in intersectionality, systemic social change, and trauma-informed care. We have been here to secure the rights and freedoms of LGBTQ+ Minnesotans for over 35 years, and we will continue to do so long into the future.

Pediatric malnutrition treatment – reimagined for scale.

Taimaka has reimagined pediatric malnutrition treatment to make it **more cost-effective and scalable**. We’ve developed a malnutrition treatment model that is:

1. 53% cheaper than legacy approaches and:
2. Leverages digitally-enabled community health workers (CHWs) to deliver care to the most vulnerable communities. 

So far, we’ve used our model to treat 6,000+ children out of existing government hospitals in northeastern Nigeria with world-class recovery rates of 95%+. Our track record has led charity evaluators like [Founder’s Pledge](https://www.founderspledge.com/funds/global-health-and-development-fund) to identify us as one of the most cost-effective nonprofits in global health, with a [cost-per-life saved of $1,644](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16czhbk2xjA1EkhQxebnTV_49cwVC9XYFE23Jal2Yhu4/edit#gid=0). Over the next five years, we’re on track to expand our program to treat tens of thousands of children, while helping governments revamp their outdated programs so that they can double the number of children they reach.

Mutual aid organization supporting neighbors in Washington DC, Ward 2.

What is Mutual Aid?

**Mutual aid is “cooperation for the sake of the common good.” It’s getting people to come together to meet each other’s needs, recognizing that as humans, our survival is dependent on one another.**

Mutual Aid is a practice and politics that emphasizes solidarity rather than charity. It means we recognize that our well-being, health and dignity are all bound up in each other. It means that we understand our survival depends on cooperation, not competition. In this particular moment, we see that our health is also dependent on other people’s health, and we can literally save each other’s lives. Rather than disengage and feel powerless, mutual aid allows us to plug in where we can make the most impact — locally.

Mutual aid IS...

- Getting people together in your community to provide material support to each other
- Building relationships with your neighbors based on trust and common interest
- Making decisions by consensus rather than relying on authority and hierarchy
- Sharing things rather than hoarding things
- Treating no one as disposable
- Providing all kinds of support, ranging from food prep to childcare to translation to emotional support, and recognizing the value of all of them
- A political education opportunity, where we build the relationships and analysis to understand why we are in the conditions that we're in
- Preparation for the next disaster (natural or economic). Next time around we'll already have relationships with each other and know who is vulnerable and needs support
- A great jumping off point for other kinds of organizing and movement work

Mutual aid IS NOT...

- Quid pro quo transactions
- Only for disasters or crises
- Charity or a way to "save" people
- A reason for a social safety net not to exist

The DC Mutual Aid Network (DCMA) is a grassroots community-led effort looking to take care of each other and keep our city as safe as possible.

- DCMA is a decentralized, community-led effort, so there is no single group that runs the network.
- There are autonomous groups for Wards 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Wards 7 & 8 are served together by one group.
- The DCMA Network is governed by the ward groups on topics of social media, website, fundraising, etc. The groups also share resources, best practices and offer referrals to other groups.

Ward 2 Efforts

Ward 2 Mutual Aid is part of the larger DCMA Network. Our concrete activities are:

- **Hotline** - Volunteers staff our warmline, where Ward 2 residents can call and request assistance.
- **Groceries** - We provide a grocery bag delivery to ~150 families that request it through our hotline or building captains. The bags include fresh produce, protein, dry goods, and requested household items.
- **Encampment Outreach** - We organize a supply drop to ~120 unhoused neighbors.
- **Building captains** - We organize with local residents to utilize their leadership and relational networks. Building captains check on neighbors, relay needs, and assist with food donations and distribution.
- **Back to school** - We organize with local parents to host a book and clothing swap.
- **Support for high risk/immuno-compromised individuals** - We have been partnering with local public housing buildings to drop off cleaning supplies, masks, and groceries.

UWC makes education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, over 80% of our students selected through UWC's national committee receive a scholarship. This support allows UWC to continue selecting students based on their potential and merit, regardless of their race, gender or financial means.

Most UWC national committees across the globe are run by volunteers. With selection activities in over 150 countries and territories, this volunteer network identifies promising young students, many of whom would never otherwise have access to a transformative UWC education.

**Why Support UWC**

UWC is committed to making its life-changing education accessible to students from all backgrounds. Scholarships ensure that financial circumstances never prevent talented students from attending.

Your support helps sustain UWC’s mission to make education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future. Donations from alumni, individuals, foundations, companies, and governments make it possible for UWC to continue this work.

*"A UWC scholarship is a great investment in society. We are developing a global community of leaders who are aware of the world’s needs, steeped in the nuances and dynamics of international and intercultural cooperation and equipped with the mindset, skills, sense of agency and the global network to make a tangible difference in the world."* - **Faith Abiodun, Executive Director of UWC International**
