In this episode, I sit down with Kat Murphy, the Director of Digital Strategy for GivingTuesday, to discuss the state of philanthropy and generosity in today's world.
We debunk the myth that financial giving is down and highlight the importance of radical generosity and community care.
Kat shares her personal experience with Todo Para Todos, a mutual aid collective in Chicago, and emphasizes the need for nonprofits to create more on-ramps for people to actively participate in their missions.
Kat gives us her best tips on getting the most out of GivingTuesday, the importance of setting clear goals, developing a multichannel campaign, and engaging supporters in meaningful ways.
Key Takeaways:
- Radical generosity and community care are essential for building a more resilient and equitable society.
- People want to be actively involved in causes and have agency in creating change, rather than just giving money.
- Nonprofits should focus on creating on-ramps for people to participate in their missions and provide opportunities for active involvement.
- Collaboration and community organizing are key to successful GivingTuesday campaigns.
- Nonprofits should think beyond financial donations and offer different ways for people to contribute and participate.
