It’s Time to Take the Giving Plunge

I'm a strong believer that those who are more fortunate should give back to the community surrounding them. To that end, I give to Kiva, the MS Society, The American Cancer Society, and soon back to the college that I owe so much of my fortunate situation to. This means giving a significant quantity of money, approximately $25,000 worth to start a scholarship fund for students. This is no small task for a new graduate and my family, but my wife and I both are strongly committed to the future of Allegheny College and the students who attend. There is no other organization that has had such a profound effect on my life and aside from seeing my own children attend this school, their is little else that would make me as proud as creating a sustaining scholarship fund.

So why do you need to know this? Because I need some advice on how to do this. How can I do this most effectively? Has anyone else done something of this scale and have advice on how to start out? I'm all ears (or eyes as the case may be).
