Send us a textDo you donate money or volunteer your time for charitable causes? If so, you're engaging in philanthropic activities. But would you actually call yourself a "philanthropist"?According to a recent report from the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, there's a major disconnect between the public's understanding of philanthropy and how people view themselves in relation to it.While 60% of Americans donated to charity and 30% volunteered in the past year, only 20% considered themselves philanthropists. Even those actively giving of their time, talents and treasure don't seem to self-identify with that label.In this thought-provoking episode, we'll dive into unpacking this philanthropic identity paradox. Why is there such a divide between our charitable actions and how we perceive ourselves? What's holding people back from embracing the "philanthropist" title?And what might be the advantages of identifying as a philanthropist?Links from today’s episode:"What Americans Think About Philanthropy and Nonprofits"https://scholarworks.indianapolis.iu.edu/server/api/core/bitstreams/b5904a8a-5081-42cd-bd44-56740b98fb67/content ICYMI another episode you might enjoy:Episode#116 MacKenzie Scott's Giving Strategy and What We Can Learn From ItConnect With Genet “GG” Gimja:Website https://www.progressivepockets.comTwitter https://twitter.com/prgrssvpckts Work With Me:Email [email protected] for brand partnerships, business inquiries, and speaking engagements.Support the show
