Whether a gift to charity is $25, $2,500 or $25 million, it’s cause for celebration. Philanthropic support of all shapes and sizes makes a difference. What’s even better, though, is to apply discipline to those dollars so that the strategy matches your enthusiasm. Certainly, media-based philanthropy campaigns are adequate to raise overall awareness about charitable giving, but awareness is just the beginning. At SCF, our team is dedicated to helping you apply your charitable passions to make a meaningful impact by helping you address the root causes of critical issues, above and beyond providing immediate relief to those in need.
A recent Rolling Stone article illustrates how philanthropy can shape leaders by instilling values of empathy and responsibility. The author shares a heartwarming perspective based on participating in charitable activities as a child to rally around a sister with Down Syndrome. This article makes such an important point: When your philanthropic efforts mean a lot to you, you’re more likely to stay engaged for the long term, resulting in significant cumulative community return on your personal investments. It’s really inspiring to see charitable individuals view their contributions as part of their personal and professional development.
Stark Community Foundation is always striving to offer ways for fundholders to involve their children and grandchildren in charitable giving. This involvement is vital in light of the decline in charitable giving, especially among younger generations, which is becoming a significant concern. We encourage you to explore the factors behind this trend and reach out to SCF to discuss potential solutions and ways you can help.
Thank you for your commitment to philanthropy! We are grateful that you’ve chosen to streamline your giving by partnering with Stark Community Foundation.
