What does it take to raise money? At its heart: generosity. In her career, Dr. Carla Maxwell Ray has helped raise more than $1 billion for a variety of organizations, institutions, and schools, and she encourages fundraisers to invite people into the opportunity to be generous. In this episode, Ray talks about ways to help people see generosity as a spiritual virtue and the opportunity to be part of the good work that is happening across the world.
In this episode, there are three books that are mentioned (links go to Amazon):
- “Five Pillars of a First Class Life: Smart Steps to Financial Empowerment and Mission Driven Living” by Carla Maxwell Ray.
- “Giving and Getting in the Kingdom: A Field Guide” by R. Mark Dillon
- "A Spirituality of Fundraising" by Henri J.M. Nouwen
