In celebration of #GivingTuesday this year, the global day dedicated to giving back, Bruce and Leah share some thoughts on charitable giving.
"Doing good deeds is second nature to many of my friends. These deeds can be small or large. They can be in acts of personal kindness or more global attempts to fix a problem. They can be by writing a check or spending time.
Some say what really matters is the intention or reason for giving of oneself. I don't agree. What matters is the good that is done. A good deed that helps others remains a help to others. So my thought as I reflect on Giving Tuesday is that we need more people to give. We should encourage giving even by those who give out of a sense that they do not want to be judged only by those other things they have done. Who knows the good deed may and should feel so good that it will encourage more positive conduct in his or her life. A journey starts with an intention to take one step." - Attorney Bruce Stanger
"So many nonprofit organizations contribute so much to our society and the quality of life in our communities. Find a nonprofit organization whose mission resonates deeply with you, and whose passion you share. Make sure that the organization is committed to excellence and best practices in all aspects of its operations. Give as generously as you can afford. Then enjoy the satisfaction that comes from contributing to something you care about." Attorney Leah Cohen Chatinover
