What is a GiveBack Fund?
What is a GiveBack Fund?
A Giving Fund is also called a Donor Advised Fund. It can be used as a tool to become more organized in making donations to charities.
You can name your Giving Fund after your team'or after someone special. For example: The Cardinal Basketball GiveBack Fund or The James Johnson GiveBack Fund.
Who are Community Partners?
Community Partners are groups of people who work together in sharing resources to make the world a better place.
Just like being part of a sports team, you understand that different members have different roles. Not everyone on the team does the same thing or has the same skills. It is the same way in our communities and we all use what we have to help each other win at the game of life!
How do you find your passion?
Just like learning a sport, it takes time and practice to learn about areas for giving back.
Practicing Philanthropy through sports programs keeps it fun and engaging and there are always new players getting involved every year. Below is a video to help you understand your passion.

Executive Summary and Spotlight on Sow Good Now
Since 2015, The Sillerman Center has engaged in studying and working with the field of youth philanthropy. Broadly defined, youth philanthropy is a model of participatory grantmaking that provides young people money, mentorship, and decision-making power to directly fund nonprofit organizations and support their communities. However, youth philanthropy goes beyond grantmaking. The term “philanthropy” means the love of humankind, which includes learning about and practicing acts of kindness; and that is central to youth philanthropy and social justice philanthropy. 1
