There are so many ways to express generosity on GivingTuesday and every day! Whether it’s making someone smile, helping a stranger, or giving to those who need our help, every act of generosity counts, and everyone has something to give. About GivingTuesday: -GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a day that encourages people to do good. -It is a global movement that reached Canada in 2013. It focuses on unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world.

Philea - Philanthropy Europe Association is one of those rare organizations that have set themselves a courageous goal: to truly move our sector of #philanthropy to the next level, to nudge us forward, out of our comfort zones, into the unknown, to embrace what it means to contribute to our world's problems in a way that matches the challenge. Philanthropy has a unique role in our world: it can fund what cannot be funded. It can make impossible things possible. It can raise our aspirations and change mindsets. For that to happen it also has to ask itself some tough questions: - Are we being courageous enough? - Is how we are spending our money fit for purpose?- Are we truly rising to the challenges? - Are we doing all we can? - Are we doing all we must do? And what does that mean for our relationship with #trust in this world, with our partners, with those we serve? I am super excited to explore these questions with such an amazing group of dedicated people next week in #Ghent at #PhileaForum2024 Ashoka #EveryoneAChangemaker with Delphine Moralis Carola Carazzone Raphaela Toncic-Sorinj David Bonbright

“Let’s build something together. And let’s build someone up together.” Eric Liu, cofounder and CEO of Citizen University is a visionary, builder and catalyst of better civic futures.  This wonderful article by Drew Lindsay in The Chronicle of Philanthropy captures the outsized (and even unexpected!) impact that can happen when people come together from different backgrounds and experiences to lift each other up and advance each other's work in additive, generative, expansive - and yes, joyful ways. There’s so much I’ve learned - and gained - from being a part of this extraordinary community. Below are a few additional personal nuggets I've observed about why Civic Collaboratory conveninings are truly "mutual aid on steroids": 💡 "Commitments of Capital" can come in multiple forms. Capital is often talked about in a narrow way usually related to financial resources. Instead, we can think about giving and receiving capital through an abundant lens: social capital of connections, relational capital of supports, intellectual and experience capital of ideas and know-how. Most importantly, the human capital of our presence, curiosity and care. 🔑 Words and rituals matter. When you respond to requests with offers of help, start with the phrase “I commit...” (not "I think" or "I could"). “I commit” communicates clarity, intention, and action. ❤️ When bonds of trust and affection are authentically cultivated and honored, the most incredible things can happen. The partnerships and friendships I’ve made through this unique community have fueled innovative, human and heart-lead civics efforts that have reached tens of thousands of people. (Honoring you… Sam Ball Shamichael Hallman Sanda Balaban Cheryl Hughes Debilyn Molineaux Caroline Klibanoff Kaz Brecher Rich Tafel Daniel Stid Zoey Cane Belyea Paul Beyer Kayla DeMonte Vicki Rubio among so many others!) And then guess what happens? When you experience the personal, social, and communal impact of this kind of environment, you want to re-create it for others.. across diverse geographies, ideologies, and communities. BONUS Listening/ Reading: I've long been hoping to infuse Eric's perspectives into K12 classrooms and learning environments. Several years ago, Tim Fish and I spoke with Eric on the New View EDU podcast. It was one of my favorites and definitely worth checking out even if you're not a teacher! https://lnkd.in/gp4damv3
