Bolder Giving Launched!

Bolder Giving launched in May 2007, the brainchild of More than Money founders Anne and Christopher Ellinger (formerly Anne Slepian and Christopher Mogil).   Since then, Anne, Christopher, and a dozen other 50% League members have been presenting and speaking to the media around the country. See our CBS News spot, here!  Read more:

 
How Much Can You Give?

The simple answer is . . . whatever you don't need.  But to figure out what you need can be daunting, especially in an uncertain world where people assume more is always better.  To discern what you need, three long-term plans are helpful:  a life-time financial plan, a legacy plan, and a strategic giving plan.  Bolder Giving helps affluent donors get these in place.

We also encourage Quick Experiments in Bolder Giving. Read  the many ways ambitious donors decide how much to give.
Ways To Raise Touchy Questions

If you work with donors, you may be hesitant to ask about their giving levels.  Perhaps it seems none of your business.  Or you're afraid to seem self-serving.  Yet our reluctance means that most donors are left completely alone to sort through one of the most difficult questions for givers: How much can I give?

How might you raise the issue tactfully with your clients, family members, or colleagues?  Click Here
