Giving Awareness

Seminars and Symposia. When awareness increases, giving results. Our seminars and symposia encourage involvement, teach philanthropy and motivate charitable giving. Explore the importance, value and ease of strategic charitable giving through symposia geared toward your interests and needs. Whether you are an individual donor, non-profit organization, corporation, professional advisor, collector or collecting institution, we will raise your awareness of accessible practical philanthropy, and show you why and how to do it well. We can customize any of our existing programs or create new programs for specific needs. Sessions may qualify for continuing education credit. At Results in Giving, we raise giving awareness. Because awareness in giving means giving results.
