As you look for opportunities to start your own virtuous circles, keep in mind the following important guidelines:
• Aim your gift at those with the least means, to whom small amounts make a huge difference.
• Give at least $200. Though it may seem like a small amount, it's enough to make a real impact on the poorest recipients and to allow them to address their dreams of tomorrow. If you give less than that, the money can only help with immediate needs.
• Ask yourself if the gift will be able to expand itself, gaining amplitude with each cycle.
• Focus your efforts on gifts that have a global range..
