Voiceover: There are moments in life that stay with us. Indelibly. 

They inspire us to stop and think.... and for some of us, to take action. 

Speaker: Beth Renner, National Director, Wells Fargo Philanthropic Services, Wells Fargo Wealth and Investment Management

Beth Renner: Technically, the word philanthropy means the love of mankind. It’s about empathy and compassion for someone else and their struggles. 

Philanthropy, I have found, can be very personal.  

I can sit down with 100 different individuals and ask them what's impactful about their philanthropy. It may involve exactly the same cause. Whether it’s education. A health crisis or injustice. 

And they will have 100 different answers. 

Each individual is affected differently by the struggle as they see it. 

So, we’ll often start a dialogue with our clients to help them visualize their philanthropy. 

When they can visually describe the outcome they see from their contribution of time – of money - that's when they understand the true impact their generosity is making.

For many, philanthropy can be purely transactional. But I tell clients, don't miss the opportunity to create transformation in yourself, as well.

Just connect with your relationship manager to get started.
