Generosity is a value that people around the world share. How each culture, ethnicity, nationality, religion, or community uplifts and expresses generosity is unique. Across the U.S.—in rural neighborhoods, communities of faith, and multicultural groups—what we do and how we give to help each other differs. Our panel of Aspen Institute leaders discussed generosity’s many forms in our country, how it informs a sense of belonging, builds community strength, and how these different interpretations can influence engagement levels with nonprofits.

This event was hosted by the Program on Philanthropy and Social Innovation in partnership with The Generosity Commission.

Featuring:

• Domenika Lynch, Executive Director, Latinos and Society Program
• Simran Jeet Singh, Executive Director, Religion & Society Program
• Bonita Robertson-Hardy, Co-Executive Director, Community Strategies Group
