Aperçu
Responsible charitable giving means far more than simply writing a check.
Recommendation
The National Center for Charitable Statistics reports that the US has upward of 1.5 million nonprofit organizations, including many charities. Many more charities operate worldwide. So how should individuals, companies and foundations decide where to bestow their philanthropic gifts? Carrie Morgridge, vice president of the Morgridge Family Foundation and an expert in what she calls “venture philanthropy,” offers valuable, tested advice on the best ways to give to charities. Besides writing donation checks, Morgridge has given more than 10,000 hours of her time since 2000 to assist the nonprofits she supports. If you want to know the best, most productive ways to donate, you will appreciate her counsel. getAbstract recommends Morgridge’s guidance to philanthropists, corporate social responsibility executives, employees of foundations and nonprofits, and anyone who wants to give.
