We’re coming upon the season of giving — the period when Americans’ generosity pours forth. According to Giving USA, about 40% of the $590 billion given to charity each year occurs in December.

In this episode, Crows Feet explores an innovative charitable giving platform, Giving Multiplier.

It combines heartfelt, personal donations with making it far easier to have an impact on some of the world’s most pressing issues: global health and poverty, animal welfare, and climate change.

The Giving Multiplier concept of “bundling donations” emerged from charitable giving research at Harvard University by Dr. Joshua Greene and Dr. Lucius Caviola. They found people were incentivized to give when they could combine their personal interests with global concerns.

Giving Multiplier adds to your gifts to both the local and global charities by up to 25% (30% for Crow’s Feet listeners), depending on the allocation.

Listen to this interactive episode, then return to it on your laptop to follow along with the tutorial. It can be found at 8 minutes in.
