- **Event Description**: GIVING WITH INTENTION: A SMARTER WAY TO GIVE BACK

Downtown and small-town businesses are generous by nature—but when requests stack up, giving can start to feel reactive, stressful, and hard to manage. This month’s Rise &amp; Learn is designed to help you slow that down and put a plan in place.

Join us for Giving with Intention, a practical, no-nonsense session with Amy Hong, CFP®, Owner of Barrett Financial, focused on helping local shops and restaurants make charitable giving work for their business and our community.

WE’LL COVER:
 • How to set a realistic annual giving or sponsorship budget
 • When giving is philanthropy vs. a promotional expense
 • What typically qualifies as a write-off (and what to track)
 • Simple systems to stay organized
 • How to say no kindly and confidently
 • Optional ways to share your impact with customers

We’ll wrap up with an open discussion so you can talk through real scenarios and leave with next steps you can actually use.

� Friday, January 16 | 8:30–9:30 AM
� Chamber of Commerce Meeting Room
� 819 Commercial Ave, upstairs
