New/Potential Givers - Getting Started
There are many motivations for giving one's money
and other resources for charitable and philanthropic
purposes, beyond the considerable tax advantages involved.
Some individuals and families want to leave a lasting
legacy in society while making a significant difference,
others wish to give back to the communities that have
nurtured their own success, and still others see their
charitable giving as a way to connect with others
who share their interests and passions. Companies
and businesses may start a giving program or company
foundation in order to support community programs
while building brand recognition.
Whatever your motivations for giving, the process
of getting started in philanthropy can be daunting,
and DVG is here to help. Our knowledgeable staff can
