You might be wondering how to make the greatest impact through your charitable giving. One way to go beyond the surface is by conducting a site visit to the organizations you’re considering supporting.
Site visits give you an up-close look at how an organization operates, allowing you to:
- See their Mission in Action: Giving Tuesday is about creating real change, and site visits let you witness firsthand how your support could contribute to meaningful outcomes.
- Build Relationships: By connecting directly with the people behind the cause, you can develop a deeper personal connection and confidence in the organization.
- Gain transparency into how resources are used: A visit offers insights into how resources are being used, ensuring the organization aligns with your values.
- Make Informed Decisions: Especially during Giving Tuesday, when many organizations seek support, site visits can help you prioritize where your contributions will have the most impact.
To help guide your site visit and focus on the areas that matter most to you, we’ve created a thoughtful questionnaire. It includes questions like:
- What is the organization’s greatest and most urgent need today?
- What are some of the challenges they faced in implementing your program and how did they address those issues?
- What is their plan for future growth and impact?
You can access the full questionnaire through the link below. Take a moment to pick the questions that feel most important to you. This way, your site visit stays focused, meaningful, and aligned with your giving goals.
This Giving Tuesday, consider taking the time to connect directly with the organizations you care about. A site visit is more than just an evaluation—it’s an opportunity to deepen your connection and ensure your contributions create lasting change. Together, we can make this Giving Tuesday truly meaningful!
