The holidays are a time for warmth, family, and of course, giving!
But amidst the twinkling lights and sugar plum dreams, there’s also a wonderful opportunity to cultivate a spirit of philanthropy in your students. Did you know that according to statistics from nonprofitssource.com, roughly 30% of all charitable giving during the year is done in the month of December? What better time than the holidays to teach your students the importance of having a spirit of generosity!
From Holiday Cheer to Year-Round Giving:
While the holiday season might be a prime time for giving, we want to help you foster a year-round giving mindset in your classroom. Here’s how:
- Introduce the 3Ts of Giving: Time, Talent, and Treasure. Discuss with your students how each can be used to make a difference, regardless of age or resources. Use our fun 3Ts handout to help start the conversation!
- Make it a Classroom Value: Make philanthropy part of your classroom culture! Use our free classroom philanthropy activity to encourage students to think of what they care about and how they can make a difference together.
