Untapped Philanthropy

In a new episode of Untapped Philanthropy, philanthropic psychologist Jen Shang joins hosts Kerrin Mitchell and Tim Sarrantonio to explore a fundamental question: what if giving is rooted in identity, rather than financial transaction?Drawing on decades of research, Jen introduces philanthropic psychology as the study of how people love, and how that understanding can reshape fundraising, grantmaking, and the broader social sector. The conversation centers on how generosity connects to meaning, relationships, and psychological well-being.Together, Kerrin, Tim, and Jen explore how foundations and nonprofits can move beyond strategy to better understand the individuals behind decisions. From authenticity in leadership to the role of identity in shaping philanthropic environments, they discuss why creating space for reflection, listening, and human connection can lead to more impactful and sustainable outcomes.They also unpack the tension between love and power in philanthropy, and what it looks like to center dignity, trust, and genuine care in the process.For more info on Jen, visit: Website: https://www.philanthropy-institute.org.uk/vision Linked In: www.linkedin.com/in/jen-shang-92320967 To learn more about Fluxx, visit: fluxx.ioTim Sarrantonio has launched The Generosity Spectrum, an educational gaming company focused on helping nonprofit leaders explore generosity, identity, and motivation through hands-on learning.
