What does it really mean to be a philanthropist—and does philanthropy have to begin with wealth? In the launch episode of The Philanthropists: Personal Journeys of Giving with Purpose, co-hosts Quanda Allen and Meredith Hanley introduce a different kind of conversation about philanthropy, generosity, purpose, impact, and legacy. The show goes beyond charitable donations and dollar amounts to explore the human experiences behind giving: the people who shaped us, the causes we cannot ignore, the choices we make with our money, time, talent, relationships, and influence—and what happens when generosity becomes part of how we live. Quanda and Meredith also explain why these conversations matter at a moment when philanthropy is facing increasing scrutiny and why hearing directly from donors, volunteers, civic leaders, nonprofit innovators, and changemakers can help build a fuller understanding of what giving makes possible. At the heart of the series is one simple belief: Everyone Has Something to Give.
