Active Philanthropy Tips
Active philanthropy is more than charity and more than writing checks. Active philanthropy empowers, builds, and triggers resources for the common good. It means more than just making money and investing money. Clients involved in active giving invest their time, their expertise, and their resources to impact their giving by achieving measurable and satisfying results.
To realize the benefits of active philanthropy, InterAct for Change encourages our clients and partners to live the principles that guide us:
- Pursue approaches to giving that reflect the individual, family, or corporation’s highest values, interests, and passions.
- Create a defined focus for giving – for instance a specific issue, population, or geographical location.
- Build knowledge around the focus, so your giving strategy may better serve others.
- Think big and take risks.
- Continuously evaluate against desired outcomes and results.
- Remain flexible to respond to unexpected opportunities.
- Foster cultural diversity and pluralistic values.
- Inspire others through your dedication and purpose.
