Building a more compassionate and generous world requires a focus on fostering generosity. Part of that is asking generous folks to open up about where they think their generosity comes from.

I believe generosity is more than giving, it is even more than giving abundantly- it is giving with willingness and with conviction. I learned that through caring for patients over two decades. The healthcare system is not known to be generous to patients. It is especially not generous with the time it gives patients. Read More>>

My generosity came within and nurtured by my mother. She was called “Ma” in our community because she would take children in our home eventho we did not have much. She would feed the homeless. We weren’t allowed to speak down on people in her presence. She would talk to drug dealers shownlove and tell them God had better plans for them. Read More>>

I think a lot of my generosity comes from feeling like I always had a chip on my shoulder growing up. I didn’t really have the guidance or mentorship I was looking for, whether that was early on or later in corporate spaces. I was always hungry for someone to show me the ropes, and that just didn’t really exist for me. Read More>>

I’ve always been a caring, compassionate person because I’ve never seen the point in treating others poorly. I went through my share of hard times growing up, including being bullied, and when you’re young, those experiences can really shape your mind. They create isolation and pull you into a dark place no one should have to sit in. Read More>>

Generosity is something I didn’t learn from a book, it was lived out in front of me every day. I grew up watching my grandparents and parents open their hearts and their homes without hesitation. My grandmothers, especially, had a way of making everyone feel like family. No one was ever turned away. Read More>>

My generosity comes from God. I always had a heart for helping people, but since I became a Christian, my generosity elevated to a whole new level. I understood that God has blessed us with so much already and keeps blessing us every day. When you realize that not everything is your own personal achivement, it helps you develop a grateful attitude. Read More>>

I used to think generosity meant giving whatever I had, whenever someone needed it. No questions. No pause. No guardrails. Read More>>

I get a lot of comments on how much I contribute and show up for my little section of the local music community I’m a part of. I really do appreciate it…but I hear it a lot. And sometimes it can be hard for me to hear so many good things about myself constantly, but I don’t think this is that. I think it’s because the people who say it are usually the exact same folks who regularly contribute and show up for the community too. Read More>>
