VOLUNTEERING WITH YOUR FAMILY

While the relationship between volunteering and giving has been documented in several previous studies, a new report from Independent Sector illustrates that volunteering as a family is perhaps an even more effective way of passing along a philanthropic tradition to one's children. This month's issue of Family Giving News features additional information about this report, an excerpt of volunteering from Inspired Philanthropy: Your Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Giving Plan, and several other online guides and articles describing how to make the most out of volunteering as a family.

Why do families choose to volunteer together? What are your rights and responsibilities as volunteers? And how can you identify and initiate a family volunteer project? Read for answers to these and many other related questions.


AMERICA’S FAMILY VOLUNTEERS: CIVIC PARTICIPATION IS A FAMILY MATTER
This new report from the Independent Sector addresses trends in volunteering with family members and suggestions for how to engage families in service. The report documents the influence that family volunteering has on the likelihood of future volunteer service by an individual and the types of organizations that families typically volunteer with as a group. Among the important findings from this study:

  • Americans volunteering with family members gave a higher average household contribution ($1,401) than those who did not volunteer as a family ($898).
  • Volunteers who participated with family members averaged 4.3 hours per week compared to 2.8 hours for those who did not volunteer with family.
  • 42.5% of individuals who saw both parents volunteer as a child later volunteer as a family, versus 29.8% of individuals who saw neither parent volunteer as a child.

The report provides suggestions for promoting and supporting family volunteering, as well as a list of some helpful resource organizations.

VOLUNTEERING AND SKILL SHARING: TIME IS ALSO A RESOURCE
This excerpt from Inspired Philanthropy: Your Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Giving Plan, includes an outline of “What the Nonprofit World Offers,” as well as a declaration of “The Volunteer’s Rights and Responsibilities.” Key rights include the right to be assigned a job that is worthwhile and challenging with freedom to use existing skills or develop new ones and the right to expect that your time will not be wasted by lack of planning, coordination, or cooperation within the organization. Key responsibilities include the responsibility to accept only those assignments that you can handle, and to fulfill your commitment or notify your supervisor early enough so that a substitute can be found. As the authors note, “Volunteering your time on behalf of a cause or group you believe in can be just as valuable and rewarding as writing a check. And while volunteering is not a substitute for the cash nonprofits need to keep the lights on and the rent paid, it’s another way of giving and full of its own rewards.”

FAMILY VOLUNTEERING
This article from the Bay Area Volunteering Information Center describes how volunteering can become “a family affair,” and describes trends in family volunteering over the past 10 years.

VOLUNTEERING WITH YOUR FAMILY
This briefing paper from Energize, Inc., provides suggestions for how families can initiate and choose a family volunteer project. Suggestions include:

1)       Make a list of current volunteering activities by family members. Determine if there is a shared interest in any of these activities.

2)       Invite individual family members to suggest a community problem of concern to him or her. See if one or more of these ideas are intriguing to the whole family, and use the Yellow Pages, internet, or local volunteer center to determine appropriate organizations to work with.

3)       Make lists for “Things we know how to do” and “Things we would like to learn how to do.” Make sure that every member of the family has something listed for both categories.

WANTED: PROFESSIONAL VOLUNTEERS
This opinion article by Betsy Nelson, president of the Baltimore regional association of grantmakers, describes the need of local nonprofits to identify professionals willing to volunteer in a particular area of expertise, and several resources available to help them do this. “There are endless ways to reach out and donate time," writes the author."Perhaps one of the most satisfying is volunteering in one’s own professional specialty, and it seems nonprofit organizations are craving this type of pro bono work.”

MONEY’S ONLY A PART OF THE GIVING
And from the west coast, this article from the San Francisco Business Times describes the expanding agenda of the Social Venture Partners Bay Area. Members of the Bay Area SVP have each pledged a minimum of $6000 over two years to give to local nonprofits as a group. To leverage these gifts, SVP members also typically agree to provide their knowledge, background, and connections in assisting these nonprofits. “It’s about building a relationship with a new area,” says Linda Brewer, a management consultant and founding member of the group. “Giving money is easy, but really getting involved and feeling a part of something was what we wanted. It’s like building anything. You get very involved.”

SPOTLIGHT ON...
FAITH AND FAMILY PHILANTHROPY

Though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
- 1 Corinthians xiii. 2.

Family, philanthropy, and faith—many argue—are inextricably linked in American Society.

According to Robert H. Bremner in American Philanthropy, “The real founders of American philanthropy . . . were men and women who crossed the Atlantic to establish communities that would be better than, instead of like or different from, the ones they had known at home.” He goes on to discuss the contributions to American philanthropy of Puritans, Quakers, Jews, among others. And this is only the beginning. Both philanthropy and the number of religious and ethnic groups in the U.S. have and continue to grow exponentially.

A search of a Foundation Center database of the 10,000 largest foundations reveals that over 20 percent of them fund religious causes. And we know that the vast majority of the remaining 60,000 plus foundations are family-run and were probably founded, at least in part, out of a religious conviction. Also a recent Independent Sector study on the relationship between faith and philanthropy shows that most philanthropy in the U.S. is directly related to religion. According to Rush Kidder, president of the Institute for Global Ethics, “If giving is a central part of sustaining a free, democratic, civil society, then let’s not be too hasty to dismiss the role of congregations. Separate church and state, yes; that protects both. But don’t forget that most people give and volunteer in a congregational context. “

The National Center for Family Philanthropy has been collecting information on how faith motivates and guides families in their philanthropy for several years. The Center shares some of these stories in Faith and Family Philanthropy: Grace, Gratitude, and Generosity, which features profiles of families with cultures as diverse as Native American and African American and religions as varied as Coptic Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Catholicism, and Protestantism.

With Ramadan and Hanukkah just behind us and Christmas and end-of-the-year charitable giving just ahead, this is the perfect time to sit back with a cup of hot chocolate or chai tea and explore this fascinating topic.


WEALTH AND GIVING: NOTES FROM A SPIRITUAL FRONTIER
[A FAMILY GIVING NEWS Exclusive!]
What are the relationships between faith and wealth, on the one hand, and faith and giving, on the other? How can families of faith, who are also families of wealth, approach this question with some kind of orderly process, in ways that ensure a useful outcome that is both based on their faith and consistent with their family responsibilities? David Trickett, an advisor to wealthy families, has written this essay both to help families address the important links between their faith, spirituality, and philanthropy and as an educational tool for wealth advisors to use in their work with families.

EQUIPPING THE STREET SAINTS: HOW TO BUILD CAPACITY WITH STRUGGLING SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURS WHO ARE CHANGING LIVES FOR THE BETTER
In this intriguing article from Philanthropy magazine, author Barbara J. Elliott underscores the importance of the private sector’s support for grass-roots faith-based organizations. Share argues that faith-based nonprofits—particularly in the areas that require intensive, personal work, such as drug addiction, criminal behavior in at-risk youth, and adult criminality—are helping to heal social maladies that have resisted secular cures, homeless care, AIDS hospices, food pantries, welfare-to-work, refugee services, and job training. Because the cumulative civic value of these organizations is enormous, Elliot offer strategies foundations can follow to identify and appropriately support the most effective faith-based organizations. This is an inspiring and practical article for donors seeking to make a tangible difference in people’s lives.

FAITH AND PHILANTHROPY REPORT SHOWS DONORS TO RELIGION ARE
ALSO MOST GENEROUS TO OTHER CAUSES
“Households that give to both religious and secular causes give more money and volunteer more than households that give to only one type of organization,” according to a recent Independent Sector and National Council of Churches report entitled Faith and Philanthropy: The Connection Between Charitable Behavior and Giving to Religion. This study explores the links between faith and charitable giving and illustrates how the values and beliefs of religious-giving households influence their decisions to make donations and volunteer to all types of nonprofit organizations.

FAITH AND PHILANTHROPY: DOES CHARITY BEGIN WITH WORSHIP?
Why is Rushworth Kidder, the president of the Institute for Global Ethics, watching Friends on television and linking it with faith and philanthropy? In this article, Dr. Kidder takes a provocative look at the importance of congregational giving and volunteering in our secular society. He makes the point that all nonprofits benefit from philanthropy that stems from religion and that these values go hand in hand with other tenets of a civil society.

LINKAGES BETWEEN RELIGIOUS CONGREGATIONS AND NONPROFIT SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS RELIGION / FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS
Political leaders have called for faith-based organizations to play a greater role in providing social services. But popular discussions often fail to distinguish between churches and faith-based nonprofit organizations, with even less regard for how these organizations interact. This study investigates churches and faith-based nonprofits, their interactions, and their relationships.

The study was designed to address these questions: What social services do faith-based nonprofits provide? How are they similar to or different from secular nonprofit services agencies? How much do congregations interact with nonprofits? Who benefits from this interaction? What are the implications of the interaction in terms of separation of church and state? How does it affect government programs to facilitate church involvement in service provision?

READER FEEDBACK...
DEALING WITH A DECREASE IN ASSETS

Many readers have written to thank us for highlighting articles related to the increasingly important issue of how to respond to a decline in philanthropic assets... and asked for more! Here are several new reports and briefing papers dealing with this topic, including new studies from Guidestar and the Minnesota Council on Foundations, a recent interview with the founder of the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund on the need for foundations to give more now, and a fascinating report from the Colorado-based Needmor Fund, titled, "Assessing Needmor's Grantmaking and Roles: Grantee Perspectives, Needs and Advice."

Have you developed or heard of an effective strategy for how to stretch your philanthropic assets or be strategic in your giving in the current climate? The National Center wants to hear from you! Send your suggestions to Deborah Brody at Deborah@ncfp.org or call her at 202.293.3424.


ASSESSING NEEDMOR’S GRANTMAKING AND ROLES:
GRANTEE PERSPECTIVES, NEEDS AND ADVICE
This report, commissioned by the Colorado-based Needmor Fund in June 2002, was developed to help the Fund's Board address the many difficult questions raised by the recent sharp decline in the Fund’s assets. The report outlines a variety of important questions and potential scenarios for the future of the Fund, and includes specific suggestions and reactions from 26 grantees interviewed by the report’s author, Larry Parachini. Some of the questions discussed include:

  • Given the decline in its assets, should Needmor continue grantmaking at its current level, risking further shrinkage of its endowment as well as future restrictions on and possible termination of its grantmaking?

  • Alternatively, should the amount of money allocated for grantmaking be reduced in the short-run to help assure that sufficient assets are available for the long-term?

  • If current grantmaking is reduced, what should be the magnitude, timing, and duration of the cutback?

  • How would a substantial and/or prolonged cutback in Needmor’s grantmaking affect achievement of their objectives and the work of grantees?

By asking these questions directly of the nonprofits they fund, the report shares the important, and at times surprising, perspective of these grantees.

MINNESOTA GRANTMAKING 2003 OUTLOOK REPORT
AND PHILLIPS FAMILY FOUNDATION ANNOUNCEMENT

This report from the Minnesota Council on Foundations provides further evidence that grantmaking declines are significantly affecting all regions of the country. The report notes that 49% of the foundations surveyed had experienced a drop of 15% or more in assets from December 2001 to October 2002, but that 43% of respondents still expect their total grant amounts to increase in 2003 by small amounts.

The Minnesota Council on Foundations website also includes an announcement of the recent decision of The Jay and Rose Phillips Family Foundation’s decision to increase grants in 2003. This announcement notes that the Board had previously discussed the possibility of increasing payout, and that, according to executive director Patricia Cummings, “Their response was that the time for us to raise our payout is in bad times, not good times, because that is when the funds will be needed most.” Cummings adds that “All indicators are that things aren’t getting better anytime soon,” so the board made the decision to now increase payout.

GUIDESTAR SURVEY REVEALS DROP IN PHILANTHROPY
FOR FIRST TEN MONTHS OF 2002

This new report from GuideStar confirms the national trend that contributions to most nonprofits have decreased or remained flat during the period January-October 2002 compared to donations during the same period in 2001. "Most nonprofits responding to our survey reported decreased or stagnant donation levels for the first ten months of 2002,” said Robert G. Ottenhoff, GuideStar's president and CEO. “This year's traditional giving season, where nonprofits often receive a majority of their donations, will be more important than ever.”

 

“It’s taking significantly more effort to achieve lower donation revenues,” said Daryl Oats from the Washington Academy of Performing Arts. Guidestar notes that lower revenues during the period studied were caused by across-the-board drops in corporate gifts, private foundation grants, government funding, and individual donations.

REPORT PREDICTS DEBT WOES FOR CHARITIES
The decline in grants and individual contributions has had wide and varied effects on charities, including a sharp increase in the number of nonprofits that are borrowing money to help keep the lights on. According to this article from the Chronicle on Philanthropy, Moody’s Investors Service now reports that in the past year the amount borrowed has increased by over 25%.
