Book excerpt: The best kind of generosity is done with others, not for others. People of means & substance are growing weary of fundraising run by charity leaders who've adopted the tactics of professional salespeople. They're looking for ways to make change that's important to them rather than just responding to an endless stream of appeals & campaigns. In Connected for Good, John Stanley explores the Generosity Gaps-places where men & women hold back their giving because "It's not the right time," "I don't have enough," or "I might be making a difference but I'm not seeing lasting change." He then presents a fresh playbook for generosity based on the heart's desire for connection. Going beyond the traditional time, talent & treasure, he encourages giving from the renewable currencies of relationships, strengths & resources. And he explores how to make use of the multiplier effect to greatly increase impact. With a clear gameplan for living generously, more & more of us will be connected for good.
