Sybil kicks off this month with her own advice first on how to be clear about why you want to give so that you can be more effective and not leave money on the table or ultimately get frustrated with the results of your giving strategy. She walks you through various reasons why she sees a person wants to give, which allows you to figure out how you fit in these various motivations. Sybil then helps you decide how you may want to approach your giving strategy, as either a sustainer, campaigner, or launcher donor.   

Episode Highlights:

• Explanation of the types of motivations a donor has to ultimately give in support of a cause they care about.
• The three types of donors?
• Why it is important to do the work first to figure out your deep motivation for giving and then how you want to approach the nonprofits you care about supporting.
