Giving seems like a very simple task to do. Often times when we talk about philanthropy it seems like we are referring solely to the giving of financial resources, but there is a lot to philanthropy than just providing financial support. Sometimes just providing your time, expertise, name, brand to certain causes makes a whole lot of difference.

Our willingness to give of our resources to help alleviate the suffering or bring about positive impact is philanthropic in itself. Therefore beyond our financial resources we can give other things that can make a positive impact.

You can start your philanthropic journey by finding a cause you care about and take an action that would lead to positive impact. You can always make a Goodwill Vow to support those cause.
