Establishing Year End Philanthropic Goals

By Andrea Young on August 11, 2021

Thank you to Maggi Alexander for leading our November 9th Empower Women Event, Establishing Year End Philanthropic Goals.  Many donors struggle with being “an inch deep and a mile wide” in their giving and aspire to develop a coherent, strategic plan and a clear sense of the legacy they wish to leave to their communities and families.  However, they may not know how or feel rushed at the end of the year to make quick decisions about donations.  This workshop aimed to help participants better define their goals for philanthropy, uncover their deepest interests and passions, and begin the process of zeroing in on a focus and structure for their giving that provides both meaning and impact.  Participants left the program with renewed sense of purpose and practical tools for getting from here to there.
