Activity

Our Fall Family Philanthropy

Generosity is a family value — and this activity brings it home, quite literally. Students and caregivers sit down together to discover their family's unique philanthropic identity: the causes they care about most, the ways they already give that they've never named as philanthropy, and the traditions of generosity they want to start or deepen. The conversation it sparks often surprises families with how much they already do.

Students bring this home and fill it out together with the people they love most — a gentle, joyful reminder that some of the best memories aren't made at stores. They're made in the community, with your people, doing something that matters.
