How to give & get more from philanthropy

We’re giving more to charity than ever before.¹ One reason is that giving feels good. It gives us a warm glow that can inspire us to keep giving.²

That’s probably why charitable contributions have increased by 5% over the past few years¹—and experts expect this trend to continue.³

That’s promising, but it could be even better.

That’s because about 2 out of 3 people say they want to give more, but they aren’t. Why?

Because they don’t have a giving strategy—and they don’t know what the impact of their giving will be.⁴
