  8. Identifying Values • Questions to ask: • What are your reasons for making an investment in community? • Is it your affinity towards the organization? • Perhaps it is the person who is asking you for the donation? • Did you volunteer your time with them at some point? • Did you seek their services and this is a way of "paying back"?

  9. Your Household Questions • Who lives in your home? • What are your family connections?  How have you defined family? • Think about everyone in your home (including your pet!) - Does your current giving reflect them? • Is your family in the same city as you?  Is where you reside, the same place as where you call home?  Does your current giving reflect this geographical distinction?

  10. Your Community Questions • What does your community look like? • Is it religiously or ethnically based? • How do political parties play into your charitable giving?    • Have you considered how some of your donations might be in conflict with each other?  • In ranking your priorities, does community play a larger role in your philanthropic activities than your family philanthropy?  Is this intentional? • Has direct interaction with a community agency influenced your philanthropic priorities?

  11. Global Connections • In what way do you actively participate with the global community? • What are your consumer choices?  • Do you travel?  How do you travel? • Do you engage in cultural exchanges?

  12. Setting Priorities • What is my purpose for engaging in community? • How much time should I commit to this endeavour? • Who can I enlist to help? • How do I ensure that I see a return on my investment?
