Inspired Legacies

We dedicate the seeds of our efforts to those who pursue love, forgiveness and true community through spirited and generous engagement.

Inspired Legacies convenes donors, nonprofits and advisors for inspired outcomes. So naturally with wonderful partners and alliances, we want to share just a few projects which we feel are exemplary.

Please fund and share these projects! Use our convienent pledge and gift form. Contact Tracy with questions and comments.

TRANSFORMATIVE PHILANTHROPY AND DONOR EDUCATION

Values based giving: how we give, with whom and for what vision. Without an educated donor and funder community, the status quo and the great divide will continue.

Bolder Giving in Extraordinary Times
Bolder Giving's mission is to inspire and support affluent people to give at their full potential. Our website features over 80 amazing stories of people who have given 50% or more of their income, assets, or business profits. You can download a free PDF of our Bolder Giving Workbook (or order a print copy), receive individual coaching to figure out "how much is enough," or bring us to your organization for a presentation or workshop. We fill a unique niche in the donor education world, and millions have been exposed to Bolder Giving's inspiring message through media in its first year.
