Rekindle America's faith in charitable and nonprofit organizations
In Generosity Crisis: The Case for Radical Connection to Solve Humanity's Greatest Challenges, accomplished philanthropy experts Nathan Chappell, Brian Crimmins, and Michael Ashley deliver a startlingly insightful exploration of the decline of American generosity. The authors offer inspirational solutions to the dramatic downturn in giving in the US, showing us how to re-establish the interconnection that drives reciprocity, love, and generosity.
You'll discover how to help reignite the radical connection between us and value-driven organizations that strive to improve life on Earth. You'll also become part of the conversation about generosity as an antidote to isolation and learn to take personal responsibility for the world's most seemingly intractable problems. The book also includes:
- Actionable insights from a variety of vantage points informed by the authors' decades of experience in nonprofit and social benefit organizations
- A broad and deep analysis of how to revitalize the spark of generosity that once made the American nonprofit sector such a powerful force for good
- Strategies for looking beyond technology as the only scalable solution to the charitable deficit
An engrossing and essential treatment of practical charity and real-world nonprofit work, Generosity Crisis will earn a place in the libraries of nonprofit leaders, directors, managers, and other professionals with a personal stake in ensuring the continued survival of the American charitable sector.

This artfully well crafted story of points to the reasons generosity as this nation has known it for years is declining. Michael, Nathan, and Brian highlight the painfully transactional nature that many givers feel whose gifts or net worth are not big enough for organizations to spend personal time building relationships. If you’re not a “major donor”, and even if you are, the most common form of communication is an ask for money. This compounded with for-profits more targeted communication strategies, the age of CSR, and nonprofit watchdogs fixated more on overhead than outcomes has created a crisis. They posture that the solution is radical connection; not entirely new the first step is to understand money follows a relationship. Christian Titus does a great job of making this an easy listen. Strongly recommend for any in the nonprofit fundraising space.
