The concept of philanthropy has been around for a long time. Research shows that families with strong giving traditions are more likely to give and volunteer in their adult life. And there are incredible benefits in prioritizing kindness, and philanthropy and that these practices simultaneously strengthen families and help communities by meeting needs, building resilience, breaking down stereotypes and bringing us together. Knowing that there are such benefits for the person, the family, and the community – how do we inspire children to ignite their passion of giving? In this video, MiaLisa McFarland Millares, J.D., Ed.M., Executive Director of Doing Good Together™ (DGT), shares how to engage your family in philanthropy!
