This week, I spoke with Abby Ross, CEO of Network for Good, for an enlightening discussion about the future of digital giving. Her entrepreneurial background brings a fresh perspective to how technology can unleash generosity:   "We think of ourselves as the engine for meaningful giving across the world's most influential platforms" - Abby explains how Network for Good is helping major brands like Walmart, YouTube, and Patagonia create accessible giving moments for everyday donors.   A highlight of our conversation was learning about the new Giving Platform Collaborative, bringing together major players like PayPal and Facebook to reduce friction in charitable giving. As Abby notes, "It feels like the least we can do is make it easier for them." This collaborative spirit is already showing results, with initiatives like their Black Philanthropy Month program.   On meeting modern donor expectations: "Consumer technology has evolved... donors expect a certain level of e-Commerce ease." Abby shares practical insights for nonprofits adapting to these changing expectations.   Her enthusiasm is contagious when she reflects, "I often tell people I have the best job in the world... we've done $5 billion to half a million charities." This impact showcases how technology can democratize giving.   AND DON'T MISS: Last week's conversation with William Warshauer of TechnoServe, where we explored how business solutions are transforming lives in developing nations.

This week, I sat down with William Warshauer, CEO of TechnoServe, who shared remarkable stories of sustainable poverty alleviation through business solutions. Some powerful insights from our conversation:   "Intelligence and industriousness is distributed equally around the globe, but opportunity is not." William shared how TechnoServe turns this reality into action, helping create $5.60 in additional income for every $1 invested in their programs.   The impact is tangible - from Lubaba in Ethiopia, who transformed her coffee farm and sent both children to university (where only 1% of the population holds degrees), to Eugenie in Rwanda, who turned 100 chickens into a thriving business employing 22 people. Last year alone, TechnoServe's work generated over $400 million in additional income for participants across 35 countries.   Key Quote: "If you are doing development work... you want to try to take a long view because your impact is going to be multiplied if you can do it in a way that the people themselves pick up and carry forward."   AND DON'T MISS:  New episodes every Tuesday.

What happens when charitable giving declines in America? The Generosity Commission set out to answer this critical question, and I sat down with two key leaders to discuss their findings. Jane Wales, Co-Chair of the Commission and VP at the Aspen Institute, explains why this matters: 'Civil society is a singular asset of American democracy... powered by everyday givers, everyday volunteers.' She shares how declining participation threatens not just charitable organizations, but the very fabric of our democratic society. Salvation Army National Commander Kenneth Hodder brings this down to earth with a powerful perspective on individual impact: 'If they will commit themselves to saying, I want to feed one person... I'll tell you the ramifications, like a stone falling into a pool, will resonate throughout their lives.' His insights on how small acts of generosity create lasting change are not to be missed. AND IF YOU HAVEN'T LISTENED YET: My conversation with MADD CEO Stacey Stewart reveals crucial developments in the fight against impaired driving. Three key takeaways: Despite MADD's success in reducing drunk driving fatalities by 50% since the 1980s, we face new challenges with a 33% increase in impaired driving deaths between 2019-2022, highlighting the need for renewed focus on education and prevention. The profile of impaired drivers has evolved - two-thirds of fatal crashes involve drivers at nearly twice the legal limit (0.15+ BAC), indicating a deeper substance abuse crisis requiring new approaches and partnerships. Game-changing technology is on the horizon: New federal legislation mandates anti-drunk driving sensors in all new vehicles, with the potential to save 10,000 lives annually - representing a major shift in how we prevent impaired driving. These conversations reveal how organizations are adapting to meet today's challenges while staying true to their founding missions. Subscribe now for new episodes every Tuesday!

This week on The Heart of Giving Podcast, I had an illuminating conversation with Stacey Stewart, CEO of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). She shared powerful insights about MADD's impact and evolving mission.   Key Themes from Stacey's Interview:   - Despite a 50% decline in impaired driving fatalities since MADD's founding, recent years have seen a concerning 33% increase during 2019-2022 - Two-thirds of impaired driving fatalities involve drivers with blood alcohol levels nearly twice the legal limit (0.15 or higher) - Game-changing technology is on the horizon: new legislation mandates anti-drunk driving sensors in all new vehicles, potentially saving 10,000 lives annually   Notable Quotes: ''The world needs a lot of good... I've enjoyed the idea of being able to do good in lots of different ways.''   ''We have to do what is in the best interest of public safety.''   ''If we have a solution that we know exists that can save 10,000 lives a year... the question is why would we not do that?''  

I'm excited to share this week's just-released episode with you. I had the pleasure of speaking with Ruth Holton-Hodson, board member of Solar Cookers International. Our conversation reveals how this innovative organization is addressing hunger, improving health, and protecting the environment in vulnerable communities worldwide.   Ruth shared some powerful insights that really stuck with me. On the impact of traditional cooking methods, she noted:   "One family of four uses one ton of wood a year to fuel their fire. So where's that wood coming from? It's coming from the forests and the woods near the villages, which slowly get cut down, which creates tremendous deforestation."   I was fascinated to learn about their strategic approach:   "We've moved in a policy direction where we actually serve as the hub, if you like, of this worldwide solar cooking movement. And so we divide our work into three pieces: advocacy, research, and capacity building."   Ruth also offered a beautiful reflection on the importance of service in retirement:   "I think for me, service is an essential component about what I need to do. It's not just about filling the time... you get so much more back."   I found our conversation both enlightening and inspiring. Join me to learn about sustainable solutions to global challenges and finding fulfillment through service!

"The larger, largest number of homeless people in some communities - that's 80% of the homeless population - are chemically dependent or alcoholic, and or suffering with an untreated mental illness." "We've had as many as 55 people in our shelter beds who are over 65 years old, and the majority of them were over 70 years old."

Our conversation was both eye-opening and deeply moving.   The war in Ukraine is now entering its third year, and the humanitarian crisis continues to worsen. Yuryi shared with me first-hand accounts of recent attacks on civilian areas and the growing number of families falling into poverty. It's a stark reminder that while this conflict may no longer dominate our headlines, the suffering continues.   In our discussion, Yuryi detailed how Hope for Ukraine is providing crucial aid: • Distributing 1,500 food kits weekly to families in need • Operating mobile bakeries and kitchens near the front lines • Running education and mental health programs for children affected by war • Managing a displacement center for families fleeing conflict zones   What struck me most was the incredible resilience of Ukrainian volunteers who risk their lives daily to help others.
