Giving Is A Skill

Just like other skills in our lives, learning how to give takes consistent time and intention. Contrary to popular belief you don’t need to wait until you are rich or retired to make a positive difference in the world around you. In fact, starting now can make your future giving exponential. Your time, talents, and money can be used for good starting today, regardless of the amount. Join me, Grant David Collins, every Tuesday as we work together to develop the skill set of giving.
