Happiness 101: Build a Family Philanthropy Plan

Building a family culture of philanthropy, whether that is through monetary efforts, or through gifts of time and energy, can strengthen family bonds, create a lasting legacy, and make an important difference in our communities. Is now the time to be intentional with your family about giving back to your community? Start the conversation and see where it leads.

Fall Into Philanthropy

Fall always feels like a season of giving. What better time to be intentional about conversations with family to come up with ways to give back, pay forward, however you want to label it?

Be creative. Involve the littles, the tweens, the teens, your college students, and your adult children. Make it a fun and meaningful conversation about how blessed you are, and learn how each would give back if there were no limits. Remember, the most valuable contributions are often not monetary. Think outside the box to build your family philanthropy plan.
