The Generosity Crisis: The Case for Radical Connection to Solve Humanity’s Greatest Challenges explores the current state of philanthropy today and how we can change course to bring about a different, more connected future that benefits us all. This research-filled and field-tested guide will help reimagine a modern definition of social impact.
The number of Americans making charitable gifts has reached an all-time low and statistics indicate the percentages of people giving to charity annually could decline into the single digits within 49 years. Accomplished philanthropy experts Nathan Chappell, Brian Crimmins, and Michael Ashley deliver a startlingly insightful investigation of that decline in generosity—and offer dynamic solutions that demonstrate how to re-establish the interconnection that drives reciprocity, love, and generosity.
“The Generosity Crisis confronts us with alarming trends in charitable giving. But it isn’t a bad news book about America. On the contrary, it shows us how donors and nonprofits can connect in new and better ways to inflect giving levels and lift each other up.”
— Arthur C. Brooks, Professor, Harvard Kennedy School and Harvard Business School, and #1 New York Times bestselling author
“A long legacy of nonprofit change-making is woven into our social fabric, and critical to enduring change. And yet, donors have been dropping out of traditional charitable giving at a steady pace. The Generosity Crisis speaks the hard truth, calling on nonprofit leaders to reimagine their relationships with everyday philanthropists. This is a book that should be highlighted, dog-eared, and pencil-scrawled by the time you reach the last pages."
—Shannon McCracken, CEO, The Nonprofit Alliance
“We don’t have an inequality crisis, a climate crisis, or an economic crisis, we have a leadership crisis, driven by vested interests and their selfishness, apathy, and greed. Brian and Nathan set out a simple but often overlooked truth: that generosity and connection must be central in our response.”
—Paul Polman, Former CEO of Unilever, Business leader, campaigner, and co-author of Net Positive
