Previously we published a poem titled, “The Dash”, without crediting the author. We recently learned that the poem was written by Linda Ellis of Linda’s Lyrics, www.LindaEllisonline.com. Ms. Ellis owns and has registered the copyright to her poem. We are glad that we can now credit Ms. Ellis as the author and copyright owner of “The Dash”. This poem may not be copied or reproduced without the expressed written consent of the author.

New Philanthropy Training

We define philanthropy as sharing your time, talent, and treasure in a thoughtful, intentional and ongoing way for the good of another or the community.  Our trainings for youth and for adults are interactive and inspirational--guiding one's heart and spirit to connect with the community through philanthropic action.   Each training we facilitate is tailored to the needs of the hosting organization, building and enhancing the strengths the group already has. 

Themes for Philantrhopy Training include:

• Your Philanthropic Heart
• Mission: Philanthropy
• Building a Youth Philathropy Council
• Your Heart and Spirit in Your Community
• Thoughtful, Intentional, Ongoing Service
• Development and Sustainability for Youth Philanthropy
• Youth as Grantmakers
• The Giving Family
