Thanks so much for writing this post. As a parent I'm always looking for ways to engage my 9 and 12 year olds in giveback activities. I love organizations like Koodooz which are developing new tools and approaches for this. BTW, if anyone is interested in developing a family giving plan, check out my friend Steve Ketchpel's new book "Giving Back: Discover your values and put them into action through volunteering and donating." It has lots of great suggestions on how to involve your kids in giving in an intentional and practical way. Hi Beth! Thanks so much for writing this post.

I also always involved my son in philanthropy. When he was in second grade he decided he wanted to create a cookbook (we had a tradition of concocting new recipes and baking cookies together every Wednesday night) with all of his creations. He wanted to sell them, but insisted that a % go to the nonprofit for which I currently worked. I was so proud! Also, many times I would encourage the donors with whom I worked in setting of donor advised funds to meet annually with their children when it came time to make decisions about where they would recommend philanthropic distributions. These meetings always turned into wonderful family traditions -- and many of those kids have gone on to become thoughtful philanthropists in their own rights. Great ideas.

Involving children in philanthropy is a passion of mine. I believe in it because it not only because I want to nurture their passion for social change, but because I believe it's empowering, gives them perspective and in the end, is a source of happiness. I've been doing some thinking around how nonprofits might help bring children into the philanthropic fold in ways other than asking them to raise money. Here's a blog post I wrote on the subject citing the work of 7 orgs I have found that do this well: http://theosbornegroupblog.com/stewardship/teachichildrentogive/ Hope it inspires your readers to think of ways they can make their mission child friendly!

I don't have any children of my own; however I have the joy of being "Aunt Stephanie" for quite a few kids. You've provided some great ideas for me to use to help them see how important it is to do good things for others and how easy it is to give back!
