“When you give, you learn that your actions matter—big or small. That’s the real magic for kids.” — John Bromley, Founder & CEO, Charitable Impact

Family empowerment coach Celia Kibler sits down with John Bromley, founder of Charitable Impact, on the latest episode of her Pumped Up Parenting podcast, to explore practical ways to turn kids into confident, caring givers—no matter their age or allowance size.

Why this episode matters:

  • Make giving a family habit. Learn why talking about charity at home and modelling generosity shapes kids’ lifelong values—and how just a small weekly “charitable allowance” can spark huge lessons in empathy and financial literacy.

  • From pennies to purpose. John explains how donor-advised funds work (think of them like giving-focused bank accounts) and why opening a simple “impact account” for your child can teach prioritization, delayed gratification, and critical thinking.

  • Building community, one child at a time. Discover how you can turn fundraising and volunteering into social adventures that connect families and foster teamwork, all while making a real difference in neighbourhoods and beyond.

Whether you’re juggling busy schedules or figuring out screen-time limits, it only takes a few minutes (and a few dollars) each month to start a “charity habit” that grows alongside your child.

🎧 Tune in now to hear step-by-step tips on setting up your first charitable allowance, choosing causes that resonate, and turning generosity into joyful family bonding.
