Today we’re joined in the Giving Room with a Gen Z-er, Victoria Baker and a Millennial, David Long. They’ll share what it means to be generous both when you’re just starting out in your 20s as well as when you’re heading into your 30s.
Victoria will encourage you to just start with what you have in order to ensure you’re generous as your ability to give more increases. David will share how you approach generosity when you’re in debt and have a negative net worth and more.
Join Victoria—and 3 Davids – for a practical discussion that will encourage you regardless of your age or stage in life.

We're pulling back the curtain on a philosophy that donors and nonprofits alike have held—the charity with the lowest overhead wins, or, from the donor's perspective, "I don't want my gift to pay for overhead." We'll push back on the statement that "100% of your gift goes to our mission" and encourage you to think strategically.
