Time, Talent and Treasure on Clubhouse

Description

Philanthropy can be described as charity, helping someone, giving to someone or a cause, or doing good. Philanthropy is not simply helping someone you know; philanthropy is also helping an unknown person.
Philanthropy is about generosity in all its many forms, commonly referred to as gifts of time, talent, and treasure.
We enjoy giving to charity, but how we go about it can vary widely. For some, we’ve noticed much of our giving seems to respond to requests from family, friends and charities. These tend to be smaller donations and can amount to more than a hundred $500 small gifts annually. The purpose of these gifts seems to be out of a sense of obligation to being asked or rather a true connection to the person or charity.

We also make major gifts in excess of $100,000. These larger gifts are made from an emotional connection we have formed with the person or charity and its purpose. Whether we donate $500 a year or $5 million, our philanthropic mission is our compass to keep heading in the right direction to express your values. “Think of giving not only as a duty but as a privilege."
