As the holidays approach, I’d like to encourage everyone to take a few minutes to discuss your family’s philanthropic goals.  The holidays are a great time to start a new family tradition and to discuss the values important to each member of your family while sharing stories of how your parents, grandparents and other family members came together to help others in need.  By combining efforts, families can create opportunities for family giving that go beyond mere financial donations.  To help your family begin the process of creating a family giving plan, we’ve posted a downloadable Charitable Gift Multiplier Guide on our website.  Simply go to: www.CharitableGiftGuide.com and download the free Guide and we’ll help your family walk through the process of multiplying your impact with truly inspired giving.
