Donella enjoys simple and perpetual charitable giving
Donella Graney likes to give back to her community, so being in a position to do so, has made regular donations to a range of local and national charities for some years.
“They all do a good job and are screaming out for money, and with the health-related ones you never know when you will need them yourself,” she explains.
However, Donella was finding that her charitable giving was requiring time and attention, and that she was getting a lot of mail due to the number of groups she was supporting.
“Then a few years ago I listened to a speaker from Momentum Waikato who gave a talk to my women’s group Tuahini,” says Donella.
“I could see that placing money into the care of Momentum simplifies your giving, and that it means your donating can continue forever.
“Some monies then came my way from investments made by my late husband Richard, so I decided to set up my own fund at Momentum, with the income going to the charities I choose.”
