As the Holidays Season Nears, Get in Shape with the Giving Coach
Happy National Philanthropy Day! In honor of this special occasion, and National Community Foundation Week, November 12-18, we’re launching a new service for Missoulians called “Ask the Giving Coach.”
While she doesn’t have a whistle and won’t make you do squats, our Giving Coach, aka Missoula Community Foundation Executive Director Meredith Printz, knows the rules for saving money on your taxes while benefiting causes that are meaningful to you. And, if you’re looking for a holiday gift for the person who has everything, the Giving Coach has some plays that will score you extra points. The Giving Coach has free advice and personalized giving solutions for any budget!
