Quite simply, it is because we are asked. Less simple are decisions about where, when, how much, and what to give. Scores of nonprofit organizations vie for our support, so we winnow the list by focusing on those that speak to our values, goals, and aspirations. (And the occasional heart-tugging photograph that catches us at a vulnerable moment!) When, how much, and what we give are frequently related to life stages.<\/p>\n<p>When we\u2019re younger, we tend to make gifts of cash, as we have not yet attained assets such as stocks and bonds, real estate, and other investments. We give when it strikes us and as we are able, with considerations about tax benefits largely out of mind.<\/p>\n<a target=\"_self\" class=\"button button-medium normal yellow \" href=\"https:\/\/sites.allegheny.edu\/ellanash\/2018\/04\/30\/when-how-and-what-we-give-to-charity\/\">Read More<\/a>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"circle alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.allegheny.edu\/ellanash\/files\/2018\/04\/thankyou-299x299.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>Philanthropy in Action<\/h3>\n<p>During our years in college, most of us were blithely unaware of the impact that alumni contributions had on our academic careers. Scholarships, cultural events, conferences \u2014 they just happened. Without understanding the direct correlation between our colleges\u2019 fundraising efforts and our own experiences, it may have taken us a while to begin making our own gifts. The Allegheny Student Advancement Association (ASAA) was established in 2014 by a group of students whose goal was to shorten that learning curve among their peers.<\/p>\n<a target=\"_self\" class=\"button button-medium normal yellow \" href=\"https:\/\/sites.allegheny.edu\/ellanash\/2018\/04\/30\/philanthropy-in-action-2\/\">Read More<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inspiring Women, Informing Philanthropy The Ella Nash Society Newsletter\u00a0celebrates the special gifts of time, expertise, personal connections, and assets that shape women\u2019s philanthropy.
