Civic Life Today: Donate

The mindful approach to making an impactful donation.

In This Issue

This issue of Civic Life Today explores the mindful approach to donating money or goods. Donations are critical to the nonprofit sector – they can do good, but they can also cause harm if not done well. This issue thoughtfully helps individuals understand the power of their donations, but also how to approach donating with a critical lens to have the greatest impact.
