We all strive to help the young people in our lives grow to be kind, caring, compassionate individuals. What are the youngsters in YOUR life passionate about? Giving Tuesday is a great way to involve children in meaningful giving that affects their community. So here’s an idea: try providing kids with a “giving allowance” for Giving Tuesday, and then letting them choose which nonprofits they want to support on December 3rd. It’s a great start in learning to GIVE! #givingtuesdaynemi #philanthropistsintraining
