Your Philanthropy, Your Story 

Philanthropy should be a personal experience for each donor.  At Precision Giving that not only means that where you give is a personal choice, but how you engage in that gift should be reflective of each donor’s preferences and personality.

The services offered below should be considered a ‘menu of options’ from which each donor can determine how, and if, they want to more comprehensively interact with their philanthropy.

Go From	Go To
Making one-off gifts that correspond to a single, siloed capital campaign or organization	Get better “bang for your buck” by investing in organizations and programs that are working collectively with the right stakeholders to impact real and lasting change
An average of 37 cents of every dollar you contribute going to overhead instead of client services	An organization’s overhead rate is a top consideration when building your Philanthropic Portfolio. Initiatives with lower operating costs are evaluated in an effort to ensure your money goes to services, not office supplies
Never knowing the true impact of your gifts	Receiving a personalized Impact Summary that provides year-over-year metrics, complimented by personal stories of how your gift benefited real people, and how the various beneficiaries of your charity worked together to “move the needle” around your philanthropic priorities, demonstrating YOUR unique contribution
Never seeing the true impact of your gifts	Engagements, such as Board placements, volunteer experiences, community tours, educational opportunities and the chance to meet individuals directly benefiting from your support, will be offered as a way to not only see, but amplify the impact of your financial gift
Cutting a check and hoping for the best	Real accountability through the regular reporting of success indicating metrics, along with ongoing “coaching” for recipient organizations to ensure they are operating efficiently and with most up-to-date resources and information
Being recognized as a giver, but not a leader	By facilitating coalitions and investing in “collective impact,” you will be recognized throughout the community as a thoughtleader that is leveraging their resources strategically to impact real change and set a tone for others to do the same
Saying yes... or no... to a solicitation without having strategically analyzed its value	Having a resource to evaluate the organization on both its own merits and as part of the “story” your philanthropy is telling
