Fulcrum Partners is proud to be part of GivingTuesday 2020, a global movement of generosity. Your support of others in need could be a critical difference maker in someone’s life. We can’t all devote our lives to charitable service, but we can certainly show our support to those who do by providing the funding that makes valued organizations run. This year we’ve identified 20 charities that have spoken to our lives and our hearts through the beneficial impact they make. We are asking, inviting, encouraging and nudging you to step up and make a gift. As Fulcrum Partners Managing Director & Partner Bruce Brownell shared, “Instead of people feeling frustrated or helpless to change situations they see around them, generosity positions the giver to be part of a movement that genuinely effects beneficial change. When has it ever been more important than it is now to extend a helping hand to lift up someone in need?” Join the Team at Fulcrum Partners in Supporting these 20 Organizations Click on any of the links below to go directly to the donation page for the charity.
