Executive summary: Beyond individual donations, there are numerous strategies to amplify charitable impact through professional and personal networks, including workplace initiatives and community engagement that can create ripple effects of giving.
Key points:
Professional strategies include hosting “Lunch & Learn” sessions, starting workplace giving groups, offering pro bono services, and implementing donation-matching programs—with some workplace fundraisers raising an average of $30,000.
Personal approaches involve facilitating discussions about effective giving, sharing on social media, and joining GWWC’s Pledge Advocacy Program—which has led to 31 new pledges.
Common challenges like financial constraints or discomfort with discussing philanthropy can be overcome through education and starting small.
Success requires choosing a focus area (personal vs. professional, more people vs. giving more), setting specific action items, and dedicating time to implementation.
Regular giving and automated donations are particularly effective for sustaining long-term impact, with peer advocacy accounting for 8% of GWWC’s pledge growth.
