Managed Giving: An Illustration

What does “managed giving” look like? How can Operation Kids help you? Nothing explains the concept like a real story.

An Operation Kids client wished to make a donation to a major children’s hospital. This donor has a son who suffers a condition that requires research, and they wished to facilitate that effort at the local children’s hospital.

The typical reaction would be writing a check. However, the client turned to Operation Kids for strategic guidance and help reaching out to friends and associates in a very positive way. Additionally, we were able to meet with the hospital and access their existing donor base to further expand the donor’s fundraising efforts.

The net result is the magnification of the donor’s gift, which will be put to work immediately, rather than be held for future development. It has become the catalyst gift for the opening of a new treatment and research wing. This is what Operation Kids does.

We don’t ask you to give more, we help you to give smarter. Allow us the opportunity to strategize your giving, look for leveraging opportunities to increase your gift through others and work with the recipient charities to make sure they use your gift in only the most effective of ways. It is an idea whose time has come, and we would welcome the chance to tell you more.
