1. Give responsibly. Be knowledgeable about the causes and organisations
you are supporting. Even if you do not have time to engage directly with the
recipients of your gifts, read the evaluation reports and modify your giving
programme as appropriate.
2. Understand the impact of your giving. What impact do you
seek? What impact do you have on the organisation and on its beneficiaries? How
can you be confident that you are achieving your objectives? How will the results
influence future giving decisions?
3. Seek good advice. There are a variety of sources that can
advise you on your giving programme and on individual investments. These include
professional advisory services - such as tailored advisory services for donors,
financial advisors and community foundations - as well as informal
sources of support - such as family, friends and colleagues.
