My goal is to give in a way that creates meaningful, immediate impact for organizations that are doing important work but may be struggling to secure consistent funding. I am especially drawn to local, community-based nonprofits that are making a direct difference, but often operate with limited resources. I want my giving to focus on organizations where even a smaller contribution can go a long way. Through my experience in this class, I have seen how some nonprofits are doing everything they can to stay afloat while still serving their communities at a high level. That has shifted my perspective on giving. I now prioritize impact and need over size or name recognition. In addition to financial contributions, I hope to give my time and leadership by serving on nonprofit boards later in my life. I want to be actively involved in helping organizations grow, make strategic decisions, and continue serving their communities in a sustainable way. Being part of a board would allow me to contribute not just financially, but also through my skills and commitment.
