Pepper Rutland, philanthropist and entrepreneur from Baton Rouge, discusses the newest trend in philanthropy and why so many are choosing to gift giving.
2. NEW TRENDS
A new trend that has swept the millennial
generation is to gift philanthropy.
While volunteering and traditional donations are
still very important, offering unique alternatives to
the traditional practices of giving can provide new
life for tired tactics and ignite a new passion in
different audiences.
3. WEDDING FAVORS
Instead of favors at your wedding,
make a small donation in the name
of your guest instead. You can even
order custom place cards to have at
each table setting with
personalized messages showing the
donation.
4. CHRISTMAS CARDS
Companies such as the Charity
Gift Catalog through World
Vision, Kiva, Read Between the
Lines, and The Gift of Giving,
have dozens of card options that
not only offer a hopeful message
but donates portions of their
profit to larger organizations
giving to those in need.
5. GIFT CARDS
Thoughtful companies like
CharityChoice offer a gift card that
allows the gift receiver to choose
up to 3 charities to donate the
money on their gift card to.
Partnering with over 1000 charities,
there is a cause for anyone to
connect to.
