10 - Conscious philanthropic giving with Lauren Janus

In today's podcast I am joined by Lauren Janus, thoughtful philanthropist and advocate. We discuss how Lauren came to start her business helping donors make more consciously ethical investment decisions following a successful career in the charity sector. In this episode you will learn: Why Lauren made the shift from the charity sector to running her own business Why Lauren settled on the name for her business, and why the word philanthropy is important The differences between the giving cultures in the USA where Lauren is from, and here in the UK How our early experiences with money influence our future philanthropy The potential reasons that more women give more of their wealth than men Why millennials are the most consciously ethical philanthropists The innovative ways that charities should (and are) using social media to encourage giving The difference between positively screened and negatively screen investing How you can start your own consciously ethical giving plan and teach your children to be philanthropic with their money too (including how to approach giving differently with girls and boys)
