Developing a Strategy for Improving Your Philanthropy

From the Philanthropic Motivating Factors survey

You have a preference for supporting efforts in your local community but also look at helping out national endeavors with minor support.

You are a global thinker and want to see great things take place as a result of your support and therefore often look internationally for these opportunities.

You are looking for both a solid organization with strong results and public sentiment, but also one that is working to accomplish a worthwhile cause. You feel these two components can't be separated.

You give primarily based upon individual reasons and the accomplishment of your own agenda, but you have also realized that there are relationships that need to be massaged in the process.

You tend to make much of your giving decisions based upon your personal experiences that you've had with a particular organization, however you also allow your emotions to enter into your giving decisions on occasion.

You have had some experience watching others' charitable acts, but you are looking to set your own standards for giving. You are looking to give to those causes that make you happy rather than doing what others expect you to.
