Now that you have found your survey results and have found several Giving Communities that might match your interests, here are some suggestions for next steps:

• Visit the Donor Resources page for websites and reading materials about giving and philanthropy
• Explore the Getting Started in Philanthropy page to help you get started exploring your giving
• Browse the websites of the Giving Communities that were recommended to you, and maybe a few others, to see if they may also be of interest
  • See what types of events they offer and what kind of projects they support.
    (Not all Giving Communities engage in pooled funding)
  • Reach out to the contact person and find out more
    (Keep in mind many are very small organizations and operated by volunteers)
  • Ask to speak with a current member

• Jump in and get involved!
  • Attend their social events, teleconferences and any educational workshops they may offer
  • Join the grant making and other committees, if they have them
• Visit the Bolder Giving website and browse our library of extraordinary givers – people who have given anywhere from 20 to 90% of their income, assets, or business profits – and who embody our "give more, risk more, inspire more" qualities.
• Let us know about other Bold Givers that should be featured (please contact )
• Share your stories with us at so that others may become inspired by your giving
• Most importantly, enjoy your philanthropy!
