Take action: Make a year-end giving plan

As you invest your money, invest some time to best understand the issues you would like to support.

• Think about your interests and priorities and research how MSF aligns with your values.
• Review our latest online articles about effective approaches to providing care to those that otherwise would not have access to it.
• Join one or more of our online webcasts, especially our year-in-review with leadership.
• Connect with others in your circle with similar values, to discuss philanthropic giving and share your own passion.

Explore how you might best use your financial resources to fund your giving goals.

• Discuss your philanthropic impact plans with your family or partner
• Consider your financial budget—how might you incorporate charitable giving to advance the values and priorities you care about, now and in the future?
• Create a giving target for both your annual and long-term contributions, including the amount and frequency of your giving.
• Propose allocating funds for a "stretch gift" this year to include in your plans.
• Look into your company's matching gift program to discover if you can multiply your impact through workplace giving. Many companies include retirees and spouses in their programs.
• Consult with your financial advisor on how you can best align charitable giving with your financial wellness planning, personal investment stragies, and develop a legacy plan.
