Intentional Giving Series: Making Thoughtful Philanthropic Decisions
Amplified is launching a new blog series in which we discuss a range of considerations to help philanthropists make thoughtful giving decisions. Our evidence-based approach encourages readers to become more informed philanthropists, supporting mission-aligned organizations that apply their generous donations of time, money, and resources to create lasting impact.
Looking ahead at the series
The Intentional Giving blog series provides philanthropists and foundations with clear, useful guidance about how to make informed, confident giving decisions. We know that many people are passionate about responsibly sharing their resources and supporting important causes, but they may not be sure where or how to direct those efforts in a way that generates meaningful impact. And at Amplified, we love to help each person or foundation connect with the causes and organizations that align best with their specific goals. Sometimes this looks like one-on-one consultations and creating personalized giving plans, and sometimes you just need a quick resource to guide you through the steps. This blog series is the latter!
Key topics discussed in this series include:
finding a mission-aligned organization
creating a giving mission statement
understanding the 501(c)(3) status
analyzing overhead and fiscal responsibility
Amplified Insight
Giving is about more than merely writing a check and moving on. It is about investing in the people, communities, and initiatives you are passionate about. Taking time to define your philanthropic goals, identify aligned organizations, and understanding their mission, financial stewardship, and impact all contribute to forming stronger partnerships and contributing to meaningful change.
At Amplified Consulting Services, we believe strongly that intentional philanthropy begins with informed decision-making. Whether you’re an individual donor or private foundation, we want to help you take an evidence-based approach to giving and evaluating impact to make sure your time and resources can make a true difference.
