The Soul of Giving with Holly Welch Stubbing '93
from Wake Women · host Mary Tribble
In this episode, Holly Welch Stubbing shares a powerful perspective on money and the meaning we attach to it. She talks about how, once our basic needs are met, prosperity can become less about accumulation and more about giving back. In the book The Soul of Money, author Lynne Twist writes that money is a distinctly human invention. It’s a total fabrication of our genius and its power comes from the power we give it. What if we thought about prosperity in a different way–can Prosperity be about giving back to others rather than accumulation for self? In the true spirit of Pro Humanitate, Holly has dedicated her entire career to the power of philanthropy. In this conversion, we discuss the complexities of philanthropy, focusing on the motivations behind giving, the evolution of donor-advised funds, and the impact of technology on charitable giving. Holly shares her personal journey and the mission of the National Philanthropic Trust, an organization which she now leads. We explore generational shifts in giving, the importance of trusting leadership, and the need for nonprofits to adapt to changing societal expectations. We talk about the power of money as a tool for positive change. It might just change the way you think about how money impacts your life and the community in which you live.
