This week's episode of Mindful Money with Amy Schiller is now live!

In this episode, I speak with Amy Schiller; a Writer and Political Philosopher who has spent over 15 years in major gift fundraising. Amy's insights into philanthropy are both profound and practical, as she explores how we can use our resources to truly enrich our communities. We dive into her new book, "The Price of Humanity: How Philanthropy Went Wrong and How to Fix It,"We also discuss the importance of loving humanity in its fullest sense—beyond just survival, but also our ability to imagine, create, and connect. Amy's perspective is a refreshing take on how philanthropy can be more than just a transaction; it can be a meaningful extension of our values and a way to build a richer civic fabric.

Throughout our conversation, Amy shares her thoughts on the current trends in philanthropy, the pitfalls of a purely ROI-driven approach, and the unique role that philanthropy can play in our society. She highlights inspiring examples, like LeBron James' work in Akron, which beautifully illustrates how giving can be rooted in personal experience and community connection. Amy also touches on the balance between government responsibility and private giving, advocating for a more holistic approach to addressing societal needs. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in how we can make our giving more impactful and aligned with our deepest values.
