Parte de mis metas a futuro sería lograr ofrecer mi tiempo para la asesoría legal a emergentes y medianas organizaciones sin fines de lucro a nivel de todo Puerto Rico. Asimismo, establecer un porcentaje considerable de mis ganancias personas para donar e impactar a una necesidad social crucial en ese año. En el que pueda lograr donar anualmente impactos en diferentes necesidades sociales. Además, tener como meta participar o coordinar una actividad de voluntariado con una alguna organización sin fines de lucro fuera de Puerto Rico, para lograr impactar más allá de las fronteras.
What is a Giving Goal?
Often, the idealism of youth is lost as one achieves success and acquires material possessions later in life. What was originally considered to be “enough” or even “beyond my wildest dreams” can become just another milestone on one’s quest…
Capturing your current vision of how you wish to give of yourself and your resources in the future could help you plan to give more meaningfully. Revisiting this vision in ten or twenty years could provide a reminder of the ideals of your youth that may shape or re-shape your future actions.
If you have already posted your Giving Goal and would like to update your email for future reminders, please contact [email protected]

I commit to giving at least 5% of my yearly salary! As my salary increase, I hope to get to a point where I can give a higher percentage. If I reach a salary of $100K+ I want to give at least 15% of my salary

Currently, my goal revolves around creating an immediate impact around the community that surrounds me. In this way, with the resources I have, I will strive to mindfully donate small amounts of money and a reasonable amount of time to the causes that resonate with me. On a more micro level, I will hold myself accountable to donate food during the holidays and possibly donate dollars for other initiatives throughout the year. Looking more into the future, my Giving Goal circles around actively creating direct and immediate positive change. In this way, I think there’s less of a necessity to commit to a certain monetary number or percentage of yearly income, but instead an overall impact score of my philanthropic endeavors. Therefore, while I still would like to set a giving goal monetarily of at least 2%-5% of my yearly income, I would also like to set tangible targets for the amount of effect my actions have. While always moving and by nature hardly definable, this tangible target will be adapted as I identify the need for change in the world.

My giving goal is to give some portion of my income to others once I am fully stable myself.
