We’ve created a new and unique 25- to 60-minute class, great for service clubs and other community groups that have regular speakers. Here’s our brief description:
It’s never been more important to give to charity.
- As government services continue to decline, people depend more and more on charities for education, hospital, social and other needed services.
- Charities depend on individuals, couples and families for more than 80% of their donated support.
It’s never been more important to be a smart giver. A smart giver,
- Directs their giving to needs, causes and issues that matter most to them.
- Donates to strong charities doing solid work with the dollars entrusted to them.
- Avoids weak charities and those that spend more on fundraising than on their missions.
Presented by “charity insider” and nationally-known elder law attorney and nonprofit founder Ed Long, “13 Things to Know Before You Give to a Charity” is an interactive program that identifies key information you should know before you give to a particular charity (and tells you how to find it), helping you distinguish strong from weak charities and make the most effective use of your donated dollars and time.
Program length: 25 to 60 minutes (including Q&A) depending on the wishes of the group. For more information on this and other classes see the Classes page at www.smartergivingguy.com, or email staff@smartergivingguy.com, or call us at (310) 612-1146.
