I really like this idea…
‘Piggy’ is a set of two savings banks that nest together. The larger “momma” bank is for a child’s personal savings, and the smaller bank is for the child’s charitable savings.
THE POWER OF PIGGY
Piggy helps teach kids about charitable giving, with the hopes of inspiring new generations of caring, sharing, philanthropic citizens.
With 12,000 children born each day in the US alone, imagine the social impact if just a fraction of them learned powerful lessons of gratefulness and kindness to others.
USING PIGGY
It is suggested that children learn to set aside 10% of their income to charity. Parents can discuss with their kids about who they would want to help most. When the baby bank is filled, a special event can be planned to deliver the money to the charity, or a trip to the bank and post office to mail a check.
The goal is to create positive feelings of doing good will make an indelible mark upon their character and place philanthropy as an important and intrinsic aspect of their life.
