Center for Generosity Podcast
We are equipping nonprofit leaders with best practices and resources that grow generosity to enhance your mission. In each episode, we tackle a topic related to growing generosity to your nonprofit and answer the three most critical questions for success. Our promise to you is that we won't take up a ton of your time - you have donors to cultivate - and we will give you actionable items you can start using right away. We will focus on foundational donor first principles and best practices. The Center for Generosity provides resources to expand your toolbox and support network with quality programs, video tutorials, templates, and one-on-one attention from our experienced consultants.
