Families and individuals donate for their own reasons. Sometimes giving is a matter of smart estate or tax planning. Although, a donor’s reason may simply be founded in the fact that they themselves grew up as a child with needs not fully met. Perhaps an individual wants to make a gift in memory of, or in honor of, someone who made a difference in their own life; someone who gave them a hand up. Or maybe, it’s that they see the value in leaving a legacy that will support generations of children yet to be born, yet to be challenged and yet to be hungry.
