Empowering Change through Giving
Hi I’m Alison and I work with individuals and families to identify the resources they have and deploy them for good in our world…….. It’s that simple.
Hey, I get it. Your first question when you hear about what I do is “why would I spend money to give money away or figure out my volunteer time”? We aren’t/I’m not giving away millions of dollars, my family is doing well but not THAT well and volunteering is just what we do, there isn’t strategy behind it. “
But here’s the thing. My guess is that you ARE giving your money and time and expertise away all the time every day. You just don’t see yourself as a philanthropist. You are volunteering on Boards, or serving at your children’s schools and sports teams. Maybe there is a cause that is close to your heart that you make sure to send some money to each year or you always participate in their walk. Maybe your alma mater, maybe it’s the disease that has rocked your family or friends. I bet during COVID you made donations to local food banks or made a special effort to support your local community businesses.
Or maybe you are trying to figure out in the midst of the chaos of life how to teach your children generosity and kindness. How to connect to a larger community, how to pass down the things you believe in and want to stand for. I get it because being a philanthropist isn’t about giving a bunch of money (don’t get me wrong it can be)
What being a philanthropist is really about is:
creating a connection with other humans and our world
making a difference.
But sometimes the issues seem so big and there are so many great causes and opportunities that can make it easy to loose focus and decide to think about that tomorrow.
My aim is to be your biggest cheerleader and hype-girl to get you out there giving.
Let’s bring more purpose to YOUR generosity, so that you get off the sidelines watching other people change our world and start making thoughtful lasting mind blowing change!
