Set Up a “Giving Allowance”
Learning by doing provides motivation and experience for the next generation to engage philanthropically. This activity teaches children how to handle charitable donations and demonstrates thoughtfulness and intention in the decision-making process.
First, set up a “giving allowance”—an amount that you feel would be age-appropriate. You can set an allowance per individual or ask the children to come to a consensus.
Determine how often you want to do this activity (e.g., monthly, biannually, annually, etc.). Some families choose to do it during the holiday season, on days of recognition (e.g., Earth Day, Veterans Day), or on birthdays
