It’s probably safe to assume that you value philanthropy, since you are reading this blog post on the Community Foundation’s website. You value charitable giving and are interested in learning more about other ways to achieve your philanthropic goals. But does your family know that this is a core value for you?
Is your family aware of the causes you champion and support through service or financial support? Do you discuss your involvement with them?
Studies show that Americans are not discussing and that their families are completely unaware of their philanthropic goals. One study reports that while 75 percent of all philanthropic gifts are made by individuals and families, only 10 percent of children 17 and under think that their parents give to charitable causes.
It’s time to start the conversation, and we can help. Please call the Community Foundation today to learn more about the options we offer. To learn more about the Community Foundation and its many services, visit www.clevelandbradleyfoundation.org or contact Lisa Geren.
