How We Got Started

As a parent and founder of a nonprofit for the past 11 years, I found myself pausing one day to reflect on my children and our family's journey. I began to ponder a crucial question: How can we use the act of giving to engage our kids in conversations about money and to fortify the bonds and values that define us?

Drawing from my 15 years of experience in education and working with kids and families, I came to realize that the most impactful lessons in financial literacy start at home, with parents leading by example.

In today's fast-paced world, it's essential to carve out intentional moments to connect with our children and each other as parents. By making giving the centerpiece of our family discussions and actions, we not only impart financial knowledge but also create cherished family time.

This realization inspired the creation of Family Giving By Design.

If your family wants to achieve any of the goals below, then our services might be just what you need:

  • Spend more meaningful time together and invest in your community

  • Take advantage of a Donor Advised Fund and ensure it is donated to something you care about

  • Teach your children to focus less on what they want and more on the impact generosity can have on their lives

Ready to create an impactful and intentional roadmap for generosity that leaves a lasting impact for generations to come? Let’s work together.
