Power of Generosity
Generosity holds immense power to transform lives.
It’s not just about giving money but also time, attention, hospitality, access and simple acts of human kindness.
Humanity’s Generous Nature
Humans are inherently generous, as evidenced by social psychology professor Elizabeth Dunn’s experiment where two-thirds of $10,000 gifted to 200 people was shared generously with others.
This demonstrates that humans respond with generosity when shown kindness.
