Your giving is unique

Your giving is unique. How do you give? How do you want to give?

Well, why shouldn't it feel this good?

🍕 Something to look forward to
🍕 A treat at the end of the week
🍕 A feeling of ease
🍕 Warm and comforting
🍕 Delicious
🍕 With friends and family

If pizza can make us feel all these things, so can our giving.

Creating impact with our giving is also making sure it feels good. If it feels good, we are likely to sustain it more. And that is part of impact.

How does your giving make you feel? How do you want it to feel?

We can help ask right questions and start the conversation. Donor feelings + strategic decision = impact. Heart + head. ❤ + 🧠.

No matter the circumstances, we can all make a difference.

How can your giving keep going?

A metaphor for a world which is constantly turning 🌏.

How can we adapt our giving for the uncertain and temporary nature of life?

The same principle holds true when thinking about our giving.⁣

Sunday's are great for some self reflection. A Letter to My Younger Self connects to our why...reminding us of the important experiences, people and values in our lives.⁣

We're the only one who knows why it matters to us. That's what makes our giving unique.⁣

The school year started with my right year old reading The Giving Tree and creating a poster on deforestation. This week, she came home passionate about not using palm oil. She's taped a post it note to my computer reminding me to "get rid of all palm oil in our food". She's scoured the cupboards for offenders.⁣

I love this moment as a teaching opportunity. The story of The Giving Tree is one of seasons and change. The lesson is contested: altruism or selfishness? Much as in any type of giving, it is both.⁣
⁣
🍃⁣
⁣
As the autumn equinox holds us in a temporary seasonal balance, we might reflect on the balance evident in our giving. When are we too altruistic? Too selfish? When is it in balance? ⁣
⁣
🍂⁣
⁣
The answer will be different for everyone. The most important thing is to reflect on what makes our giving unique.⁣

I've loved reading former colleagues tributes to Bill Gates Sr.

One of my fondest memories at the Gates Foundation was interviewing to be his Special Assistant and not getting the job.

I was scared as heck to be interviewing for the role. I think there were five interviews, and I had made it to the final two candidates.

It was his personal phone call and kind, supportive words breaking the news to me that set him apart. After that, I knew that I could, and I would do more in philanthropy.

His impact on this particular family foundation will always be felt.

Yesterday, I shared a LinkedIn post about how @bigissueuk inspired me to create A Letter To My Younger Self as a philanthropic giving reflection.⁣

Today, in Sainsburys, this gorgeous illustration and sentiment by @charliemackesy caught my attention. I loved it was on the cover of The Big Issue.⁣

❤ "Sometimes all you hear about is the hate, but there's more kindness in the world than you could possibly imagine." ❤⁣

How are you giving today?⁣

Strolling thru #ThePaintedHall in #Greenwich, I couldn't help but notice the display of benefactors. I can't tell if the donations are as-is or in thousands of ££££. ⁣
⁣
Regardless, it's an interesting reflection of the giving of #royalphilanthropy, #theChurch, and of many Lords and Sirs.⁣
⁣
Is this elite philanthropy as the Guardian article critiques or is it the preservation of history and art?⁣

What is your giving?
