What to Give to

You have decided that you want to give. But how do you choose who, or what, to give to?

The giving process may seem somewhat daunting when you think about the multitude of organisations and causes to which you can contribute. When you are deciding who, or what, will be the recipients of your giving, a great place to start is within yourself.

As individuals, we are all passionate about something. What is your passion? What keeps you awake at night, makes you really mad or sad, or has you so excited that you have to tell others about it? Hold these thoughts. Use them to help you to refine and focus your ideas about giving and philanthropy and become effective and strategic in your approach.

To give you additional ideas and inspiration, here are some particular areas of philanthropy for you to consider.
