Each of us arrives at philanthropy by his or her own path. For most of us, giving is an integral part of who we are and what we believe. The genesis of our giving might be something we learned from our parent, our religious education or perhaps a life-changing event. But we as donors mostly have one thing in common – we have never clearly defined and captured on paper our own personal philosophy about how we can truly leave the kind of legacy we seek.

To address that need, we at ImpactGiving begin by helping you develop your Personal Philanthropy Mission Statement. In helping you craft your mission statement we take you on a journey to uncover the answers to such questions as:

• What are your values?
• Whom do you want to help the most?
• What legacy do you wish to leave?
• How do you hope to change the world, even just a little?

Working with us, you’ll develop a statement that expresses your personal mission – and serves as a guide for your future giving.
