Wendy's presentation yesterday (September 10, 2014) to a group of Northern Michigan Fundraising Professionals gave some excellent insights on giving and how it effects you and the world around you.
She had a great definition on generosity as work, wisdom, and/or wealth given while expecting nothing in return.
It was fascinating her explaination on the bodies production of Oxytocin (hormone producing love and trust) vs Dopamine (role in addiction). The more you give the more oxytocin is produced in the body and has a lingering health sustaining effect.
Giving needs to be modeled and demonstrated and should be taught in schools and faith communities.
What lights you up?
Wendy called for the need for social entrepreneurship like the great builders of America that seems to be getting lost. How do we provide the means and mentorship among givers and stewards to expand healthful giving. How can we teach it and how can people learn it.
The question left with us as philanthropic professionals is how we are going to get together in promoting giving on a culture wide ... region wide way in order to promote giving for the greater good of all.
Glad to have her in our area as an great resource.
