About the Book
Become a Causie and harness your passion to make a lasting difference!
Connect with Your Cause
Are you driven by a cause you care deeply about, but struggle to find the time or don’t have the know-how to make a real difference? Looking to discover a cause that calls to your heart? Introducing the Causie — an intentional, talented advocate who transforms their purpose into powerful, lasting change.
Causies make a substantial, long-term commitment to serve their cause with more than a financial donation. They’re on a mission to create change and to lead, often by securing a seat on the board of directors of the organization that best aligns with their passions, values, and goals.
Get started by finding what causes you align with using the MyCauseFinder online questionnaire.
