Adventures in Giving
Adventures in Giving (www.givingadventures.org) is a unique online tool developed as a collaborative project by the Boston Foundation, Greater Kansas City Community Foundation, Community Foundation of Sarasota County, and The Philanthropic Initiative as a service to donors and philanthropic individuals. This tool leads donors through a journey of simple questions to reflect on their giving, define their philanthropic goals, explore different approaches to giving, and learn about how to make giving more effective. Donors receive a customized report to showcase possibilities for helping their philanthropy make an even greater impact in the ways most important to them.

We can help you make appropriate plans to ensure that your assets provide financial and tax benefits to loved ones when your estate is settled, and enduring support for a cause that matters to you. To learn more call 941.966.3000 to speak with a member of our Donor Engagement team.
