Connecting People Who Care With Causes That Matter
Donor Profile
The Richard and Deborah LoPresti Family Fund
“We believe that abundance and scarcity are states of mind and have nothing to do with bank accounts. When you live with an abundance mentality, you believe that there is plenty to go around and that you have enough to share. We have observed that people who have an abundance mentality appear to live happier lives than those who do not. In our family, we have learned that the “formula” for living with an abundance mindset is to share your time, talents and treasures with others.
Deb and I established our donor-advised fund in 2007 in part to model behavior we hope our children will follow. In fact, we encourage our three daughters to recommend deserving organizations they would like to support with a grant. Doing this allows our family to live with an abundance mentality. Over the past two years, we have been able to support about ten different local organizations as well as a few national non-profits whose causes we are passionate about.
CFNEG, through its outstanding leadership, is able to support numerous worthy causes in Northeast Georgia because many others in our community have an abundance mentality and know that not only is this rewarding in itself, it is what we are called to do.” ~Dick, Melissa, Anna, Hope and Deb LoPresti
