There are as many motivations
for a person’s charitable giving as there are people; giving of your resources
and time to help others is one of the most personal acts you can make. But while our
giving stories are all unique, they likely share one or more of the following motivations:
- To help fulfill your life’s goals and passions
- To feel a sense of value and satisfaction
- To leave a lasting imprint on society while making a significant
difference
- To perpetuate a certain viewpoint or philosophy
- To unite family members around a purposeful mission
- To honor or memorialize a friend or loved one
- To give something back to a community
- To fulfill a responsibility or desire to be a leader in a
community
- To connect with others who share our interests and passions
- To benefit from tax advantages
- To express gratitude or to say "thank you"
What are YOUR reasons for giving to charity? It's an
important question to consider as you develop
your giving plan.
