Six tips for smarter giving, summer reading, and team sports
Hello from the community foundation!
We can hardly believe the year is nearly halfway over. It’s been such a pleasure to talk with so many donors and fund holders about all the ways you are pursuing your charitable giving plans for 2024. We’re equally inspired by those of you who have reached out to learn more about getting involved with the community foundation by setting up a donor-advised fund, field-of-interest fund, endowment fund, or bequest to align with your charitable priorities.
In this issue, we’re covering a few topics that we think are especially appropriate for summertime.
–Midyear is a wonderful time to check in on a quick punch list of “need-to-know” charitable giving tips. We’ve selected six items that every charitably-minded person really ought to be aware of, whether for purposes of current giving or future giving. You can scan our list of six items in six minutes or less!
–Summer is a great time to dive into deeper reading, while at the same time take a big picture look at industries and issues. We’re doing just that–with philanthropy. Check out our recommendations for studies and articles about the global role of philanthropy and how it hits home through the work of the community foundation.
–It’s not summer without sports! Fittingly, we’re sharing three ways to look at philanthropy as a team effort and perhaps inspire you to add an even bigger dose of collaboration to your charitable giving efforts. Supporting the community, like many worthwhile activities, is better when it’s done together.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve you and other donors and fund holders who care about our community and strive to invest in both present and future needs of our region. We are committed to growing philanthropic resources to improve the quality of life across generations.
With gratitude,
Angie Tatro,
CKCF CEO
