Michael Moody helps people appreciate and navigate today’s complex world of giving and social innovation. He holds the world’s first-ever endowed chair for family philanthropy and is a well-known writer, speaker, and commentator on the vital role that the nonprofit and philanthropic sector plays in our lives. He has coauthored three books - Understanding Philanthropy: Its Meaning and Mission with Robert L Payton (2008), The Philanthropy Reader with Beth Breeze (2016), and Generation Impact: How Next Gen Donors Are Revolutionizing Giving with Sharna Goldseker (2017) - as well as many other publications on donors, ethical giving, and philanthropic trends. As the Frey Foundation Chair at the Dorothy A. Johnson Center for Philanthropy at Grand Valley State University, Michael straddles the worlds of scholarship and practice, shining a light on the connections between giving and lived experience with both expertise and enthusiasm. A cultural sociologist, with a master’s in social science from the University of Chicago and a Ph.D. from Princeton, he has strived for over twenty-five years to grow and spread our knowledge of philanthropy. Michael lives with his wife in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and balances a life of the mind by practicing kung fu and hitting golf balls and drums, though rarely at the same time.
