Giving For Impact – Level 1

As a donor, do you ever question whether your donations are having the impact you expect?  Do you often feel like you are just writing checks to organizations because they asked or because it makes you feel good?

Over the past eight years, our program, Giving for Impact, has made a tremendous difference in how people donate and partner with nonprofits.

The sole purpose of our training is to equip attendees with knowledge and help in developing relationships with the nonprofit community.  The training encourages individuals to learn more about who they are as donors by teaching them to identify their personal mission, vision, and core values to create charitable impact.  As a donor, they will be equipped to know how to find fulfillment in their giving.

Once an individual understands who they are as a donor, the program will build on that understanding by equipping them with knowledge of what a strong nonprofit organization looks like.  Donors will learn how to ask the right questions when meeting with a nonprofit and how to determine if they are actually making a difference.  Participants will learn what a healthy nonprofit partnership looks like and be able to create their own personal plan and philosophy of giving.

Giving for Impact is a great training program for individual donors as well as family foundations, financial advisors, wealth managers, CPA’s, estate planners, attorneys or trust advisors. Regardless if you donate $50.00 per year or $50,000.00 per year, Giving for Impact is for anyone who desires to have a clearer understanding of themselves as a donor and has a desire to make a greater impact through their giving.
