“I’ve often thought we could multiply the impact of
the resources God has entrusted to us many times over if we
did strategic planning, if we studied the things that really
work and don’t work, and if we concentrated our resources
in the areas where we’ll get the greatest return. That’s
precisely the kind of service you can provide - and I don’t
know anyone who knows more about the nonprofit sector or is
a better analyst of what is happening than you. In any event,
I just want you to know that I really am behind what you’re
doing and believe that you can have a very significant impact
in assisting donors to be even better stewards.”
-- Charles Colson, Author and Chairman, Prison Fellowship Ministries

of how our personalities, passions and experiences can work

these elements together and utilizing your plan for implementation.
Leveraging modern technology to facilitate this process was

go through this process, regardless of net worth and past
charitable activity, and should have an interest to do so.
The lasting impacts from more effective stewardship are tremendous!”
-- Jason Huntley, Chief Investment Officer, Cornerstone Capital
Management, Inc.

"Through a constellation of processes used by the MyGivingCoach
professionals, especially their insightful personalized reports,
I discovered I have a philanthropic philosophy or personality
that is unique to me. Consciously or unconsciously it governs
my giving behavior. I recommend retaining their philanthropy
coaches to assist you in understanding your own philanthropic
bent. A coach can help you develop a mission statement and
show you how it serves as a touchstone, guiding the direction,
structure and implementation of your giving plans."
