The Connecting Project teaches the art of giving and provides the groundwork for community stewardship. Its goal is to educate, equip and inspire its participants to create and support sustainable change in our society.

Our goal is to present an engaging educational experience that provides a backdrop of information that can be used to illuminate decisions about philanthropy and community involvement.

In a hands-on, experiential way, The Connecting Project introduces the concept of giving back.

It helps donors and students feel more direct connection with issues they care about. The workshops include education about philanthropy and non-profits, the sharing of knowledge about issues of the day, and the opportunity to connect with inspiring leaders who create important change in our communities locally and globally.

The Connecting Project works with individuals, families, classrooms, and youth groups.

It designs an experience that is specific to each participant's needs and facilitates a new way of seeing your role in philanthropy.
