1️⃣ Legacy gifts will be the preferred form of charitable giving. 🎁 In 2022, Americans gave almost $500 billion to charity. 9% of all giving in 2022 was given through bequests. Over the next 15 years, Cerulli estimates that gifts through bequest will equal all other charitable giving. 2️⃣ Legacy gifts allow us and our donors to pass on our faith to future generations. 🙏 A mission without money can’t exist. When an individual leaves a financial legacy to a church or ministry that invests in faith they are providing for others to know God through that organization.

Food for thought: $500 billion in private charitable donations in the US from private citizens. Which arguably has done little to reduce poverty. Venture capital deployed less than half of that which massively reduces poverty from economic growth. Bottom line: we need more people who understand how to run businesses.

One night isn't a lot, but it can make a whole lot of difference. Every night, thousands of Australians experience homelessness. But it doesn't have to be that way. Our Managing Director Phil Allison is helping to raise money for the St Vincent de Paul Society to support Australians in need. For one night, he'll be sleeping outside as part of an eye-opening experience to raise awareness and bring home the realities of homelessness. To help break the devastating cycle of homelessness, your donation can really help. Will you help Phil reach his target? Donating can make a huge difference to people who need it most.
