Una vez integrada a la fuerza laboral planeo ser un pilar comunitario de forma financiera ademas de los esfuerzos de voluntariado de los que ya formo parte. Mi meta es poder aportar un 15% de mis ingresos a entidades de mi comunidad enfocadas en el desarrollo sustentable y en apoyar el ambiente. Once successfully integrated into the labor force I plan on being a financial pillar in my community, going beyond the volunteer efforts I am a part of now. My goal is to be able to donate 15% of my total income to organization focused on sustainable development and environmental support.
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]
Step 1
Have a healthy and vigorous dialogue in your class on the general idea of having a personal Giving Goal as a college student.
Step 2
Set a Giving Goal concerning your future giving plans.
Step 3
Share a brief statement of your Giving Goals on The Philanthropy Lab’s portal as a way to inspire others to do the same. You may post anonymously to the public if you wish.
Step 4
Share your permanent email address and phone number with The Philanthropy Lab, for the sole purpose of the reminder mechanism, so we can remind you of your goal in 5 year increments for 20 years into the future.

Part of my giving goals is to provide small donations of money for organizations to be able to aquire necesary materials also do volunteer work since here in Puerot Rico is hard to come by both having the necesary funding and man power to achive both.

My giving goals are: 1. Support at least 3 organizations a year with the donation of at least 5% of my annual income that works with black and Afro-descendant youth in Puerto Rico. 2. Insert myself annually in at least 1 process of granting funds from different organizations in Puerto Rico to ensure transparent and fair processes that benefit the most vulnerable populations. 3. Also, I consider that it is important as a goal to be able to educate other people about the importance of philanthrophy and how this benefits the construction of a better Puerto Rico.

I will donate 5% of my annual income towards environmental causes. Another 5% would go towards organizations focused on covering basic necessities like food banks and shelters. I also commit to volunteer at least once a month in an organization that needs my help.

1. Keep up-to-date with Puerto Ricos most pressing affairs and consider them when donating resources. 2. Develop a personal methodology to decide where, how, and what to give so my donation is informed and intentional. 3. Offer my knowledge and expertise to support nonprofits capacity building.
