They’re looking for ways to make change that’s important to them, rather than just responding to an endless stream of appeals and campaigns. They may have been taught to donate and volunteer as part of their faith or family tradition, but they haven’t learned how to do so in a way that is effective and meaningful.I believe that we can act on our generous impulses to the full if we start from the heart’s desire for connection. Giving that involves personal relationship and engagement is then more satisfying and sustainable.Going beyond the traditional time, talent, and treasure, I encourage giving from the full range of our renewable currencies: relationships, strengths, and resources. I also explore how to make use of the multiplier effect to greatly increase impact.“Connected for Good” gives step-by-step guidance and exercises for creating your own Generosity Gameplan.To find out more and order your copy online, go to http://generositygameplan.com/book.
