The Women’s Giving Circle of Missoula County is delighted to host an evening of learning together with philanthropic advisor Kileen Marshall on Thursday evening, April 10th at Goodworks Ventures.

The program, Where are you in your philanthropic journey? And where do you want to be? will help participants identify where they are at in their own philanthropic journey and offer tools to move from responsive philanthropy (crisis-type giving) to charitable giving (making annual donations, learning a little bit about the cause) to strategic philanthropy (thinking proactively about impact and pursuing new relationships rather than waiting for a nonprofit to approach you), as well as broach the topic of impact investing.

“The goal is not always to move from one phase to the next, but rather to support people wherever they are with their philanthropy and offer tools to continue learning and growing for those who wish to do so.”

Kileen Marshall worked in the non-profit sector for over 20 years and as a philanthropic advisor helps donors think more deeply about their giving and how they might best make an impact that reflects their values now rather than passing those decisions on to others. She facilitates conversations with the next generation about the roots of their family’s wealth and philanthropic goals — and supports non-profits of all sizes in creating, or growing, their major gifts programs so as to sustainably raise dollars needed to fulfill their missions.

We hope you will join us for this special springtime gathering. Members and non-members are welcome — please RSVP and let us know you are coming!
