Topic
When charitable giving becomes a compulsory, routine obligation of function rather than a joy of service, we miss out on God’s joyful intent for our lives. Jeff Smith, founder of Generosity NY, believes that we can shift this paradigm. Not by focusing on the needs, but on the heart of the giver. Simply, by putting the joy back in charitable giving.
Generosity NY helps givers focus on what’s in their heart, to share their passion and learnings in community – and magnify their impact. Then, philanthropy becomes a fulfilling experience – celebrating and sharing the generosity springing from the heart of an individual, to ignite a community of like-minded givers. Jeff will share applicable stories and tools to make your giving more strategic, impactful, and fun.
