Motivator
From feeding the poor to helping people around the world learn sustainability, earnings from funds held by Heifer Foundation support the mission of Heifer International and secure an exciting and uplifting future for this international organization.
Heifer International was founded on the simple belief: ending hunger begins with giving people the means to feed themselves. Since 1944, Heifer Project International has helped 9.2 million families in more than 125 countries move toward self-reliance through the gift of food- and income-producing animals, education and training.
The guiding force behind the mission of Heifer Foundation, Ginn has inspired not only her Foundation team into great success, but people from around the world as she teaches them that charitable giving not only changes the lives of those who are receiving donations, but changes the lives of the donors themselves.
Author 
In order to educate others on planned charitable giving, Ginn authored “Circle
of Giving: Donors’ Stories of Wisdom” that, through the telling of Foundation donor stories, shares the heart of our donors and the Foundation. Published by Eudora Press in 2006, the book engages the reader in a way that is personal and encouraging.
