Managing Giving to Increase Results and Impact
When it comes to charitable giving in the United States, there is no question that people are generous. The real question is, “What impact are those contributions having?” Annually, Americans give over $300 billion to numerous non-profit organizations and institutions. Our collective challenge thus becomes to “give smarter” rather than to just “give more.”
The overarching purpose of Operation Kids Managed Giving is to transform charitable giving throughout the world—to make giving more effective, more efficient, and more measurable. Operations Kids applies to charitable giving the same degree of expertise and “best practices” usually associated with legal, accounting and financial services. Much like the services and assistance provided by a lawyer, an accountant, or a financial advisor, Operation Kids can serve as your charitable giving advisor.
Our promise to our Managed Giving clients is simple:
• Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of each donation
• Create a Multiplier Effect on donations
• Identify and measure each donor’s Return-on-Contribution
• 100% of each Managed Giving donation is dispersed to the selected charity
How do we live up to that promise? What makes the Operation Kids Managed Giving model different? We ensure the efficiency and impact of our client’s charitable contributions through our comprehensive vetting and recommendation process. Through our Multiplier Effect, we magnify the size of each donation—always aiming to turn $1 into $2. We are hands-on in order to improve the recipient organization’s use of the charitable gift. Finally, we provide our clients with regular Return-on-Contribution reports tha track the effectiveness and impact of their donations—how many lives were impacted?
And again, 100% of our Managed Giving clients’ donations are dispersed to their selected charities!
