In this episode, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Givesome, Jay Whitelaw, explains the power of being allowed to see the real difference generosity and giving can make. Jay shares the a-ha moment he experienced while teaching in Namibia that helped him realize what’s missing from the generosity journey - seeing the impact. He explains how generosity can be crucial to employee and customer engagement and the ins and outs of the Givesome platform, including the advanced metrics and data that companies receive to report back to employees, partners and others to demonstrate tangible outcomes from giving.
If you give to charities, you might wonder what your donation actually resulted in achieving. Givesome aims to reduce that while moving more people towards generosity as table stakes in daily life. Jay details building a non-profit and how to remain true to your north star, even if outside pressures try to box you in. With a focus on the donor first, Givesome is uniquely positioned to transform philanthropy for individuals and businesses while contributing to causes that can positively impact our communities. This episode is certain to inspire you to examine the other side of any equation to find opportunities.
