Inspiring Generosity through the Generations


Sharing tangible tips and tools to help you and your family practice generosity at home.

When we’re navigating our everyday lives, jumping from one calendar appointment to the next, rushing to drop off children at school, soccer practice, doctor visits, board meetings, dance class…

Whew…it can be challenging to slow down and acknowledge the positive impact our day-to-day actions have on others. How can families balance busy schedules, center community engagement, and spread kindness while living in a resource-rich environment?

Join us for an intimate and interactive virtual session that will shine a spotlight on where your family glows and has room to grow when practicing generosity inside your family unit and out in our community. You will be guided through a presentation and participatory exercises that will show you best practices for how to be more intentional when actively influencing children and teens to grow goodness around them.


To allow for meaningful participation, the session will be limited to 15 attendees each. 

 



Who is this session for? This session is focused on resources for parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and anyone else who wants to inspire generosity in younger generations.

The sessions are limited to 15 attendees. We ask that attendees be associated with a charitable fund at Greater Horizons (ex., fund founders, spouses, adult children, significant others associated with your philanthropic journey).


Stay tuned for future sessions.
