How I approach giving

Three rules I will not break.

01

Service before scale.

Local schools, neighborhood institutions, and the people in front of me come first. Marquee causes can wait their turn.

02

Verifiable or it does not exist.

If a third party cannot confirm a gift or an hour of service, it does not live on this site. Memory is not a citation.

03

Quiet record, not press.

The work shows up where it is needed. The record speaks where the press cannot reach.
