How much is a personally significant gift?We ask each member of the boards we work with to make a personally significant gift. That often prompts the question of “how much is that?” It’s what you feel is significant to you. It’s not decided around the board table, it’s decided at the kitchen table. If you have a partner, you decide together. If you’re on a board, you should make that organization one of your top three giving priorities. After all, if you believe so strongly in the mission and work of that organization that you are giving of your time and expertise, then it also means you should invest your gifts there, too. It should be a stretch gift – annually. Some find it easier to sign up for monthly giving as you don’t notice a small amount coming out of your account each month. And, depending on your income, you may decide that $10 is your gift. And you should feel good about that. Again, it’s not the actual amount that counts. It’s that you give, that it’s meaningful to you, and now you can be in a position to ask others to join you in making an impact in the community. Now that’s significant. Julie Mikuska. · |
