Press Release Body: 5 Tips To Help Business Owners Evaluate Charities Before Giving Teleseminar
Savannah, GA [April 25, 2008]: Maggie F. Keenan, Ed.D., chief philanthropy strategist and expert, is presenting a free teleclass, 5 Tips To Help Your Business Evaluate Charities Before Giving, to explain how business owners can make good use of their charity dollars.
Keenan, owner and principal of givingadvice, has found that most small businesses rarely evaluate charitable organizations before giving. Keenan explains that with thousands of charities out there, it's hard to know which ones are legitimate, trustworthy, using your money well, and doing a good job. She says, "business owners can get caught up in wanting to help out many charities, but miss important steps that can help them make better use of their donations."
Business owners want to give their time and money to charity, but also want to ensure that the organization is successful at what fulfilling their mission but don't know where to go to get information on charities or what to look for to evaluate charities.
In the teleclass, Keenan will teach business owners what they need to know about an organization before giving so that their giving is wise, effective and makes an impact and where to go to get information on charities. She will share simple strategies businesses need to know about a charitable organization for tax reasons; how to access the organization's recent financial audit; seven key elements to getting a glimpse of the overall health of a charity; why transparency is becoming so important across the charitable landscape; and one way not to evaluate a charity.
This information is in a teleclass format. A teleclass is a class taught virtually, over a telephone bridge line. Business owners all over the world may attend at the same time to learn this valuable information, without having to leave the comfort of their own office or home.
The teleclass is offered on May 13, 2008 at 7:00 PM EST (400 PM PST). For additional information about the free teleclass, go directly to http://www.givningadvice.com/events.html
