Sybil and Fred review the data behind why people give, talk through the research, and they add their own special opinions about why people give based on their own over three decades worth of experience working with donors and nonprofits. Fred and Sybil look at the research from studies to answer the question, “Why do people give?” 

Episode Highlights:

• Why knowing our motivation for giving matters
• Where are people giving?
