In this episode, Tessa Wardzinski and I continue our discussion about philanthropy and building a generosity habit. We talk about how to make charitable giving a fulfilling and enjoyable part of your life.

There are many ways to give, from fundraising galas to hands-on volunteering and family-based donation traditions, we discuss the ways that giving can fit your values, lifestyle, and even your competitive spirit. Whether you’re looking for ways to involve your kids, strategies to blend giving with your career, or simply want to know why some fundraisers really work, this episode will inspire you to find what resonates and make generosity a joyful habit.

Key takeaways:

• Make It Personal & Fun: Find giving activities you truly enjoy whether that’s organizing family donation projects, supporting causes close to your heart, or even picking up trash together for a sense of instant accomplishment. Giving doesn’t have to be boring or obligatory; it can be creative, social, and fulfilling.

• Leverage Your Skills: Donating your expertise can be just as valuable as financial gifts. Volunteering professional skills not only provides tangible value to nonprofits but can also empower their teams with new knowledge and capabilities.

• Encourage Friendly Competition: If you thrive on challenges, set up giving competitions with your colleagues or friends. Leaderboards and collective goals can boost motivation, create excitement, and maximize your charitable impact.

Whether you prefer to give your time, money, or unique talents, the key is to do it your way and have fun along the journey. Tune into this episode for inspiration on how to create more meaning, fun, and connection in your giving journey.
