3 tips help you make the most of your giving

November 23, 2010

Even though not everyone is convinced we are heading out of the recent recession, national surveys show that donors are still ready to give. And, even more than ever, they want to do it more effectively.

We have three tips to make your giving more effective:

  • Learn as much as you can about the organizations you are considering Volunteer, look on-line, talk to others and see if this is a cause you care about.
  • Connect your business to your favorite charity. You may not have as much money to spare as you would like, but perhaps you can share your expertise or the services of your business in a way that will benefit the nonprofit organization of your choice.
  • Partner with your Community Foundation. Yes, you might expect that advice, but it’s true that our Giving Together program gives every Community Foundation fund-holder a chance to partner in a way that leverages their giving.

 

To inspire and encourage your giving, contact Kathryn Corey at 327-3828.
