In addition to making financial contributions to the causes you love during Big Day of Giving and year-round, you can make a difference in our community by volunteering, donating goods or extra supplies, and even reaching out to your neighbors to share gratitude and grow the giving spirit.
It's so simple and so meaningful. When you share with your friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors why you care for local nonprofits and their work, you make a difference. Give your favorite causes a shout-out on social media (share their posts or tag them!) and in conversations with friends. When you do, you invite others to think about good causes and plant the seed that they can get involved, too.
Another idea we love is to center conversations with family, friends, and loved ones around generosity. Consider these sample conversation starters for your next gathering, group chat, book club, and more:
What cause is close to your heart? Do you have a lifelong love for a particular cause? Have you been introduced to new causes recently?
What's your earliest memory of volunteering?
Do you remember the first donation you ever made? What did it support?
What does "generosity" mean to you? Who's modeled that behavior in your life? Who inspires you to live with a generous spirit?
