Step 1 of 12 - Q1

1) Which of the following describes your mother’s cooking?

The house always smelled like a bakery or restaurant. She loved to cook!

She was always busy, so meals were often what she could put together quickly.

It was kind of hit or miss. She had a few special dishes though!

Mom wasn’t the main cook in our household, but she was the first to compliment the chef!

She tried, but if we could have afforded to, we would have ordered out every night.

2) What role did your mother play in the family? Check all that apply.

She was a force to be reckoned with (homework had to be done, curfew hours enforced, chores done).

She was ahead of her time (progressive thinker, worked outside of the home or would have if she were able, was an activist in her own way).

She was the cool mom that everyone wanted to have.

She was the caretaker in the family (dinner on the table, driver to all of the sports and school events, nurturer when we were sick).

She was actively involved in the community (participated in church and/or volunteer work, local politics).

Yes I want to receive occasional emails with updates.

Not at this time.

4) What behavior, habit, goal, whimsy or skills would you say you inherited from your mother? Check all that apply.

She taught me to be compassionate to others by her example.

She taught me life skills that I still use today (managing finances, cooking, gardening, caretaking, caring for animals).

She taught me the core values (religious, social, ethical, etc.) that I live by today.

She taught me to take joy in the world around me, whether through art, travel, community involvement, or connecting with nature.

5) How did your mother teach you about charity or philanthropy?

5) How did your mother teach you about charity or philanthropy?

Her charity was heavily influenced by her faith.

She taught by example, always cooking for someone in need or for a bake sale, or volunteered at the school or local foodbank.

For the most part, she left charitable decisions up to her husband.

She gave to charities that she cared about personally, whether it was a specific cause or activism for positive change.

I learned about charity and philanthropy from someone other than my mother.

6) When thinking about how your mother or the person you honor on Mother’s Day influenced your own attitudes toward giving, which of the following statements best describes your desire give?

I am frustrated by the global issues we face today and want my money to go toward helping solve them.

I want to contribute my professional knowledge and experience to give toward the things I care about most.

I feel I have a responsibility to help the vulnerable and those in need.

I have been part of my community for years and want to see it thrive.

There are many issues I care about, so I give when I can.

7) What would your ideal giving strategy that satisfies your desire to give look like?

Focusing all my giving on one or two important causes or issues.

Supporting a handful or organizations that I know well.

Funding direct, proven interventions that have demonstrable impact.

Supporting several charities where I know even my small donation makes a big difference to them.

I am still trying to envision what my strategy would look like.

8) Leaving a legacy of generosity for their children, family and community is something many women in developing nations have an opportunity to do thanks to the generosity of Heifer supporters like you. Have you ever considered establishing your legacy with Heifer Foundation through a gift in your Will, Trust or by Beneficiary Designation?

I have included a gift for Heifer Foundation in my will, trust, or by beneficiary designation.

I am interested in making this type of gift to Heifer Foundation.

Not now, but in the future I would definitely be interested in making this type of gift to Heifer Foundation.

Not now, but in the future I might possibly be interested in making this type of gift to Heifer Foundation.

I will never be interested in this type of gift.

Please provide me with additional information to help with my decision.
