“Give Where You Live”

Has Long-Term Benefits

to Local Communities

By Heather Larkin, President & CEO of Arkansas Community Foundation

One of my favorite things about summer is the huge variety of produce and
products available at our local farmer’s markets. There’s one in a church parking lot
just down the street from me where I can get corn just off the stalk, peas fresh from
the field, honey from a local producer and fresh flowers for the table.
I believe that shopping locally should also include supporting the causes
we care about. Throughout all the communities in Arkansas, local nonprofits
are working each day to make their towns better places to live, work and grow.
Becoming familiar with them and helping them meet their funding needs is a smart
way to “shop local” with your charitable giving.
Sometimes it is easier to give to national or global causes we hear about.
And that giving is important, too. After all, most of us go on Amazon when we can’t
find a product locally. But setting aside a good portion of your charitable budget to
give where you live is a smart way to give for several reasons:
Your local nonprofits understand and embrace the climate and needs of the
community they serve. Since the work is done in your community, your neighbors
will reap the benefits.
You are helping the local economy. Nonprofits employ many members of
our communities who buy goods and services and contribute in other ways. The
nonprofit also makes purchases locally.
You can see your donation going to work by stopping in occasionally to
see firsthand the kinds of programs and services these nonprofits provide.
It is always a good idea to plan for charitable giving so that the dollars you
contribute make the most impact on the issues important to your community.
Arkansas Community Foundation serves all 75 counties in Arkansas and
provides easy-to-use tools for giving back to the causes you care about. If you
want to take a look at some of the challenges your community is facing, go to
AspireArkansas.org for county-by-county data on topics like health, education,
families and community engagement.
Or, if you’d like to learn more about creating a donor-advised fund that
provides you with a flexible and efficient way to give to those causes, we’d love to
chat with you.
With the right tools and information, you can “shop local” with your
charitable dollars as you support the causes closest to your heart.
