Giving doesn’t just help the receiver, it helps the giver as well. Those who donate their time and talents have actually been found to live longer. If your company does corporate giving it can help your audience connect with you because they know you share the same values. Elizabeth emphasizes that it’s ok for our giving focus to shift as our life shifts. No need to feel obligated to donate to the same cause every year. She also points out that it’s the many small gifts combined from all of us which really make the difference.
To research a charity and determine if it aligns with your values you can visit www.guidestar.org or www.charitynavigator.org.
