“A philanthropist is anyone who gives anything-time, money, experience, skills or networks-in any amount to create a better world.”
-Giving 2.0: Transform Your Giving and Our World
The season of giving is upon us. Monday, November 9th marks our 8th annual Philanthropy Day celebration. We can’t wait to celebrate the transformative power of philanthropy with our community. And on November 15th, thousands of people around the world will join together to celebrate the 30th Annual National Philanthropy Day®. Shortly thereafter, GivingTuesday launches December 1st – which promotes generosity and engages our community in a worldwide giving day.
And in order to help you be your best philanthropist, CNE has a variety of resources available. From our upcoming Philanthropy Unwrapped Series to our Effective Philanthropy Toolkit. Each of these resources will help guide you through the process of effective giving. Developing the philanthropist in you is a journey, propelled by internal reflection and deep understanding of your personal values and philanthropic goals.
This season of giving there are many opportunities to give back to your community so take some time to reflect on how you can become your best philanthropist and make smart investments to empower nonprofits.
We look forward to all of these great upcoming days which promote and honor the nonprofit and philanthropic sector!
