Giving Magazine is a monthly digital magazine that will first be published in late
October to connect philanthropists and social investors around the world with content
about charities, causes and giving.

Giving Magazine will be offered at no charge to charitable organisations who are
committed to advancing philanthropy. Charities can then embed their own stories 
into the magazine, before sending it via email to an unlimited number of their supporters.
Giving will be published monthly, so charities will have the option to send it 12
times a year, with their content included, to their supporters.

## Global audience of charities and philanthropists

Giving Magazine’s founder Roberta d’Eustachio says that there are more than one 
million charities around the world, and she aims to get at least 5% of them using
and sharing the magazine to connect with and engage with existing and new supporters.
With these organisations sharing with at least 100 to 500 of their supporters and
followers, she believes [Giving Magazine](http://www.GivingMagazine.com) will reach
between five and 25 million charity supporters globally.

In addition to giving away the magazine to charities and nonprofits, the magazine
will be available through paid subscription to individuals, advisors, foundation
staff, executives and companies. Paying subscribers can also upgrade their accounts
by customising them with embedded stories as well as global, country-specific or
regional sponsorship messaging and advertising.

## Impact

She’s aware that this kind of audience could prove powerful, and not just in spreading
best practice in investing for social impact.  The magazine could also serve to 
influence governments’ civil society policies.
