In this episode of Money & You, host Michelle Perkins chats with John Bromley, founder and CEO of Charitable Impact, about a simple idea: you don’t need to be wealthy to start giving, just be intentional.

John explains how donor-advised funds work (think: a dedicated “giving account”). You can contribute when it makes sense for you, get the tax receipt right away, and then take your time deciding which charities to support, without pressure or impulse decisions at the door or on the phone.

The big takeaway?

Close the “intention gap” between wanting to give and actually giving. Start small, start now, and let your generosity grow from there.
