On this week’s GoalChat, we did our annual Giving episode with Rachel Berezin, Genna Rosenberg, and Rick Nahmias. Rachel is CEO of MyZuzah, change maker Genna is CEO of GennComm, and fruit-anthropist Rick is CEO and founder of Food Forward. All three are devoted to bringing good into the world… and not just in giving season!
Rachel, Genna, and Rick shared philanthropy stories, offered tips for embracing the fun in fun-lanthropy, talked about their favorite giving activities, and more.
What is Philanthropy?
- Rick: Giving without expecting to receive
- Genna: Bringing joy to others
- Rachel: Knowing what someone loves and giving them what is meaningful to them
Giving Tips
- Genna: Find the need, everyone has access to different things; match the need, make introductions
- Rick: Come to the world from a place from abundance, knowing the glass is over flowing; direct your efforts where they are needed
- Rachel: Realize the power of connection; bring people together for the sake of helping others
