Today we’re joined in the Giving Room with a Gen Z-er, Victoria Baker and a Millennial, David Long. They’ll share what it means to be generous both when you’re just starting out in your 20s as well as when you’re heading into your 30s.

Victoria will encourage you to just start with what you have in order to ensure you’re generous as your ability to give more increases. David will share how you approach generosity when you’re in debt and have a negative net worth and more.

Join Victoria—and 3 Davids – for a practical discussion that will encourage you regardless of your age or stage in life.

The Giving Room - Ep 5 | The Overhead Myth-Busted
play

04/18/23 • 18 min

We're pulling back the curtain on a philosophy that donors and nonprofits alike have held—the charity with the lowest overhead wins, or, from the donor's perspective, "I don't want my gift to pay for overhead." We'll push back on the statement that "100% of your gift goes to our mission" and encourage you to think strategically. Pull up a chair and join us in the Giving Room as we attempt to bust the overhead myth.

Legacy isn’t just about what you do with your stuff—it’s about what you do with your life. You’ll leave a legacy whether you plan to or not. Whether that legacy is a train wreck or something truly remarkable is up to you. In this episode you’ll hear Dave & David unpack several instructive stories—and even learn who Jesus said was the G.O.A.T. (and He wasn’t talking about LeBron vs. Jordan...).

Join Dave & David in the Giving Room for a discussion about the legacy you could be leaving. The choice is yours.
