Ann Garson, managing director of funds and foundations for the Jewish Federation of Cleveland, explains why philanthropic activities can benefit children:
“Early experiences shape children for life,” Garson said. “Engaging in philanthropic activity teaches children compassion and empathy. Giving time, talent and treasure can be part of every child’s life, no matter how young. Children learn that people are here to make the world a better place, not just to consume and acquire material things.”
