Ep. 36 Rethinking Philanthropy: Deborah Goldstein on Empowering Women to Give with Intention

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Deborah Goldstein, philanthropy advisor and founder of Philanthropy Camp for Women, to challenge one of the biggest misconceptions in giving: that philanthropy is only for the ultra-wealthy. Deborah shares how her work is helping women redefine what it means to be a philanthropist shifting the focus from dollar amounts to intention, alignment, and meaningful impact. Through her unique program, she creates a safe, supportive space where women can explore their values, overcome overwhelm, and gain clarity in how they give.Together, Rick and Deborah unpack the emotional and psychological side of philanthropy, including common barriers like decision fatigue, guilt-based giving, and lack of confidence. Deborah walks listeners through her framework for aligning giving with personal values, creating a clear philanthropic vision, and moving from reactive donations to intentional impact. Whether you're navigating new wealth, feeling stretched across too many causes, or simply looking to reconnect with the joy of giving, this episode offers a powerful reminder: philanthropy is a journey and it starts with recognizing that you already belong in it.Contact Rick Peck:Website: https://www.thephilanthropyguy.comEmail: [email protected] A call: Rick Peck's CalendarSign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter: Charitable Giving NewsletterLinkedIn: Richard Peck
