A Workshop Series for Community Foundations

ABOUT THE TOOL

Teach young people the importance of contributing their time, talent and treasure for the common good.

Included in the package are all the resources necessary to conduct a Workshop Series for children whose parents and grandparents are Community Foundation donors. This Series assists in building stronger relationships with donors and enhances donor services.

HOW THE TOOL WORKS

1. Workshop Hosted

The Community Foundation hosts a workshop series for their donor’s children and/or grandchildren (targeted to youth in grades 2-5, or ages 7-11) and their grandparents or parents who have donor advised funds. Youth gain an understanding of philanthropy as a concept and how it relates to money and community.

At the end of the workshop series, the participants and the donor practice philanthropy by donating monetarily to or volunteering for a nonprofit organization that is agreed upon by the donor’s family.

2. Dialogue

Highly Interactive Workshop Series

During the workshop there is an optional opportunity for parents or grandparents to discuss the philanthropic education of their children. Post-workshop, the Community Foundation can continue this dialogue with their donors and play a vital role in teaching the next generation of philanthropists how to be involved in the community and their family’s philanthropy.
