Giving Back
24 Savvy is all for giving back and we know we aren't alone! It is a savvy choice to help your community by working with or donating to charities. These days though, there are so many important social causes and organizations supporting those causes that it can feel like a daunting task to decide who and how to designate your resources. So we are sharing some of our favorite tips on how to feel confident in selecting the best option(s) for you.
Take inventory of yourself - Ask yourself these questions: What motivates you? What inspires you? What are your general interests? Make a list and hone in on one or two that are the most meaningful.
Reflect back on your year - Take stock of your past year. What were some of the highlights and lowlights? These events can be good indicators of things you find important.
Do research - Once you decide what initiative you want to contribute to, make sure you research organizations that are legitimate. Be smart and don’t get caught in a scam. A good resource is Charity Navigator.
Take stock of your resources - What are you willing and able to give? Whether that be time, money, or even a single donation of clothing, you’ll still be helping!
We hope this helps make choosing a charity a little less daunting!
