It\u2019s about fostering a community and investing back into it as much as you can. People always go straight to the thought of donating money, but really there\u2019s a ton more ways to give back than to just write a check. Let\u2019s dig in.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ugb-highlight\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please allow me to introduce myself.<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"ugb-highlight\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tonywodarck.com\"><span class=\"ugb-highlight\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tony Wodarck<\/span><\/a><span class=\"ugb-highlight\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> an award-winning (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ontherise.honeybook.com\/image-makers\/tony-wodarck\"><span class=\"ugb-highlight\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to RTS &amp; HoneyBook\u2019s 20 on the Rise<\/span><\/a><span class=\"ugb-highlight\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) wedding photographer out of Southern California. When I started my business at the end of 2016, I knew I wanted to incorporate some sort of charitable, philanthropic part to my company. I came up with donating 25% of my photography profits to the charity of the couple\u2019s choice. It has been an amazing part of my business that brings me so much joy and helps so many people in need. Surprisingly, this is usually the first time that these couples have ever donated money to any charity. A lot of the times I have to help guide the couple through finding a charity that resonates with them, but some couples have them chosen from the time of inquiry. The couples are including what they\u2019re excited to donate to as they\u2019re reaching out to book me. I love that.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re interested in implementing a sort of give back with your business, here are a few tips I\u2019ve learned along the way about philanthropy.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>The Donation Nuts &amp; Bolts<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When planning for the philanthropy element of each of my weddings, I work through this process. I project my expenses and cost of doing business (CODB) at the beginning of the year and divide that per wedding. This allows me to come up with an estimated profit per wedding: meaning the total amount they paid minus my expenses &amp; taxes = total net profit. After delivering the final wedding gallery (my job is done), I then take 25% of net profit and ask them which charity they\u2019d like to donate to. I make the donation in honor of them. Since I am making the donation I also get the tax break for my business. One little bonus for giving back and prioritizing philanthropy in business.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I keep my followers updated with all the amazing organizations we\u2019ve donated to, how much money we\u2019ve raised for the year, and share the happiness and progress with everyone. It\u2019s awesome. My business was able to donate over $10,000 last year alone! It helps give a lot more purpose to my business. Also, SO MUCH MONEY is spent on a wedding day, it\u2019s amazing to pull a little piece out of that and give back to others in need.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So that\u2019s the financial side. But like I mentioned, there\u2019s more to giving back than just money. Here are some other ways you can give back:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Philanthropy in Business: Ways You Can Give Back<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Donate Your Time<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maybe you are super passionate about the children\u2019s hospital, or the local farm, or people building houses for people in need. Whatever it is, you can donate your time and volunteer to help out. That may mean physical labor, or just seeing what help the organization you\u2019re passionate about needs. Just find an organization you\u2019re interested in and see how you can get involved.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Mentorship<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"ugb-highlight\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of my favorite ways to give back is to mentor other photographers. Back at the beginning of my business I found out about Rising Tide Society and fell in love. The idea of Community Over Competition perfectly fits my passion with my business. I\u2019ve had the opportunity to guest lecture at Brianna Broyles\u2019 Shootout Society events, Bree &amp; Stephen\u2019s workshops, and our local college &#8211; Laguna College of Art and Design.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Free Education<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The majority of my \u201cfree time\u201d I spend creating <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tonywodarck.com\/for-photogs\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">education material<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for other up and coming photographers. These are all the things I wish I would\u2019ve known when I was starting out. Things like workflow, pre-wedding questionnaires, how to book more clients, CODB, pricing, etc. etc. I love creating it and people are so grateful for the information. I have since started creating <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCyXGNB-xoFKIwZyYkanVXkw\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">YouTube videos<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to share what I\u2019ve learned over the years with others. The opportunities are endless for sharing there. Even if you\u2019re just getting started, there\u2019s always someone newer than you in their business that could use your help, so remember free education is a great place to begin giving back.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Free Services<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m a photographer. My talent is in taking photos. So there\u2019s nothing better than me being able to offer someone my skillset for free. One place I\u2019ve worked with over the years is our local farm, The Ecology Center in San Juan Capistrano, California. It\u2019s a non-profit a mile down the street that educates the community on living a sustainable lifestyle. I\u2019ve photographed several of their events over the years and although they have offered to pay me, I respectfully decline as to help give back even more to their organization.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More than anything, find where your passion lies and consider giving back a bit of your talent to people in need.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"ugb-highlight\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like saving money, giving back is an easy thing to put off and tell yourself you\u2019ll do it one day when you have more time or more expendable income. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ugb-highlight\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trust me, there won\u2019t ever be a time, unless you make time. <\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"ugb-highlight\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Figure out some way to start small and incorporate some sort of philanthropic portion to your business. Trust me when I tell you, that you will experience so much joy from helping others. The more you can weave these things into your business and include your clients or your coworkers, the more meaning you will find in the grand scheme of this rat race. Think about the legacy you leave and the people you can impact. Philanthropy should be a main portion of it. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"ugb-highlight\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good luck and get to work!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Ready to dream big about impacting countless others, leave a legacy, and make an impact\u2026 without breaking the bank?
