FLEX YOUR PHILANTHROPIC MUSCLES
FOR GOOD
We believe in the power of practicing conscious giving from an early age.
We enable students to flex their philanthropic muscles by facilitating charitable giving programs in schools. Just as children learned that materials could be recycled instead of wasted in class and imparted this wisdom to their parents, the current generation of students has the power to learn the importance of conscious philanthropic giving and pass this wisdom to their parents, and to their future children such that they become the giving generation.
“Imagine, for a moment, if children weren’t taught math in school… Do you think there would still be engineers? I believe the same very much applies to charity. If it’s not taught and experienced, then how is it ever fully grasped?”
The Giving Program
We’ve created a playbook to facilitate conscious charitable giving experiences in schools.
Get Involved
If you are interested in becoming a catalyst for the next generation of givers, there are many ways you can get involved to bring a Charitable Giving program to life in your community.
-
Receive a Canadian charitable tax receipt for funds donated to:
A teacher who needs funding to kick off The Giving Program with their students.
A school or education board in your community who needs founding donors to start The Giving Program.
The Giving Generation to support schools and education boards running The Giving Program who require funding to initiate and keep their annual giving education and experiences going.
-
Give your time to help organize the administration of the charitable Giving program or support classroom activities related to students charitable giving choices, or simply spread the word about the importance of teaching children about charitable giving.
-
Dig into some of the resources we have collected and start a charitable giving program in your family, friends circle, children’s class or school. Explore conversations at the dinner table or out with friends about what drives you to give, how your charitable dollars are used, and ask yourself and your friends and family, what impact do you want to make with your charitable efforts in your lifetime? Enjoy the conversations that follow and share these resources so others can join you in creating the generation of conscious giving.
To learn more about how you can get involved, drop us a note. We are happy to answer any questions and provide you with more information about how to implement our programs in your school, class or education community.
