In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Kate Harris, nonprofit collaboration strategist and founder of the Kate Harris Group, to explore why partnerships, mergers, and other forms of strategic collaboration may be among the nonprofit sector’s most underused tools. Kate challenges the assumption that there are simply “too many nonprofits,” arguing instead that organizations often lack the connections and infrastructure needed to work together effectively.<br /><br />Throughout the episode, Kate and Rick discuss how competition for limited funding can unintentionally discourage collaboration and why nonprofits, boards, and funders should begin thinking differently about organizational sustainability. Kate explains that collaboration exists on a spectrum, from informal partnerships and shared programs to asset transfers and mergers, and that successful partnerships require planning, resources, and a shared commitment to the people being served. She also offers an important challenge to nonprofit boards: shift from fidelity to the organization itself to fidelity to the mission. By building partnerships before a crisis occurs, organizations can strengthen their missions, protect the communities they serve, and potentially create a more compelling case for philanthropic investment.<br /><br />Whether you are a nonprofit leader, board member, donor, funder, philanthropic advisor, or someone interested in strengthening the charitable sector, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on what collaboration can make possible. Kate’s message is clear: collaboration does not have to mean failure, reduction, or loss of identity. When approached strategically, it can help nonprofits pool resources, strengthen their influence, improve access to services, and ultimately create greater impact for the communities at the center of their work.<br /><b></b><br /><b>Contact Rick Peck:</b><br />Website:<a href="https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com</a><br />Email: ThePhilanthropyGuy@gmail.com<br />Book A call:<a href="https://calendar.app.google/axpBWYbMzZ4UY8tK8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Rick Peck's Calendar</a><br />Sign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter:<a href="https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/o0P5UEI/thephilanthropyguy?source_type=lipo&amp;source_id=670802ff-63ae-4cdc-ba37-15128b8e7e78&amp;source_id=6b99ddc9-ad10-41eb-9ad3-f8bfc44de192&amp;source_type=em&amp;c=Qkt52a7LhPPWyffw4A6HpBLdRd16qiwN5qs98FATJL5iWkzcjgkK3Q==" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Charitable Giving Newsletter</a><br />LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-peck/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Richard Peck</a><br /><b></b><br /><b>Contact Kate Harris:<br /></b>Website:<a href="https://kateharrisgroup.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://kateharrisgroup.com<br /></a>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathrynharris1/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kate Harris</a>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/73718507</guid><pubDate>Thu, 20 Aug 2026 11:00:03 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/73718507/kate_harris_1.mp3" length="64040372" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Richard C.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Stephen Garten, founder and CEO of Charity Charge, to explore one of the nonprofit sector's greatest challenges: building strong financial infrastructure while staying focused on mission. Drawing on more than a decade of experience serving nonprofits, Stephen shares why many organizations struggle not because they lack passion, but because they lack the operational and financial tools needed to grow sustainably. Together, they discuss practical strategies for founders, the importance of business acumen, and how nonprofits can position themselves for long-term success.<br /><br />Throughout the episode, Stephen and Rick discuss why nonprofit leaders should think like entrepreneurs by carefully evaluating community needs before launching new organizations, considering alternatives such as fiscal sponsorship, and seeking guidance from experienced nonprofit founders. They also examine the broader nonprofit funding landscape, including the importance of trust-based philanthropy, investing in organizational capacity, and strengthening donor stewardship through authentic relationships rather than transactional fundraising. Stephen also shares how Charity Charge is helping nonprofits access financial products and services designed specifically for the charitable sector, filling a gap left by traditional banking and business tools.<br /><br />Whether you are a nonprofit founder, executive director, board member, donor, philanthropic advisor, or anyone passionate about strengthening the charitable sector, this conversation offers thoughtful guidance on building organizations that are both mission-driven and financially resilient. Stephen's message is clear: lasting impact requires more than passion—it requires strategic planning, trusted relationships, and investing in the infrastructure that allows nonprofits to serve their communities for years to come.<br /><br /><b>Contact Rick Peck:</b><br />Website:<a href="https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com</a><br />Email: ThePhilanthropyGuy@gmail.com<br />Book A call:<a href="https://calendar.app.google/axpBWYbMzZ4UY8tK8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Rick Peck's Calendar</a><br />Sign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter:<a href="https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/o0P5UEI/thephilanthropyguy?source_type=lipo&amp;source_id=670802ff-63ae-4cdc-ba37-15128b8e7e78&amp;source_id=6b99ddc9-ad10-41eb-9ad3-f8bfc44de192&amp;source_type=em&amp;c=Qkt52a7LhPPWyffw4A6HpBLdRd16qiwN5qs98FATJL5iWkzcjgkK3Q==" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Charitable Giving Newsletter</a><br />LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-peck/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Richard Peck</a><br /><br /><b>Contact Stephen Garten:</b><br />Website:<a href="https://charitycharge.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://charitycharge.com</a><br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephengarten" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stephen Garten</a>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/73717945</guid><pubDate>Thu, 13 Aug 2026 11:00:02 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/73717945/stephen_garten_1.mp3" length="70522417" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Richard C.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Luke Mickelson, founder of Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP), to discuss the hidden crisis of child bedlessness and how one simple act of generosity can transform a child's life. What began as a small Christmas project in Luke's Idaho community has grown into the world's largest bed-building charity, with hundreds of chapters working to ensure that no child sleeps on the floor. Along the way, Luke shares the powerful stories that inspired the movement and why a safe place to sleep is about so much more than a mattress.<br /><br />Throughout the episode, Luke and Rick explore the far-reaching impact of providing children with a bed of their own. Beyond improving sleep, a bed offers dignity, security, better school performance, improved health, and a sense of hope. Luke explains how child bedlessness often goes unnoticed because families facing job loss, domestic violence, housing instability, or other hardships must prioritize food and shelter before purchasing beds. He also shares how Sleep in Heavenly Peace empowers volunteers across the country to build and deliver beds locally, creating opportunities for entire communities to rally around children in need. As Luke explains, "Child bedlessness is not a real word, but it's a real problem."<br /><br />Whether you are a donor, nonprofit leader, volunteer, philanthropic advisor, or simply someone looking for a meaningful way to serve your community, this episode offers an inspiring reminder that lasting impact often begins with meeting a basic human need. Luke's story demonstrates that ordinary people can accomplish extraordinary things when they choose to act. One bed may seem like a simple gift, but for a child, it can provide comfort, stability, dignity, and hope for a brighter future.<br /><br /><b>Contact Rick Peck:</b><br />Website:<a href="https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com</a><br />Email: ThePhilanthropyGuy@gmail.com<br />Book A call:<a href="https://calendar.app.google/axpBWYbMzZ4UY8tK8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Rick Peck's Calendar</a><br />Sign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter:<a href="https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/o0P5UEI/thephilanthropyguy?source_type=lipo&amp;source_id=670802ff-63ae-4cdc-ba37-15128b8e7e78&amp;source_id=6b99ddc9-ad10-41eb-9ad3-f8bfc44de192&amp;source_type=em&amp;c=Qkt52a7LhPPWyffw4A6HpBLdRd16qiwN5qs98FATJL5iWkzcjgkK3Q==" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Charitable Giving Newsletter</a><br />LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-peck/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Richard Peck</a><br /><br /><b>Contact Luke Mickelson:</b><br />Website:<a href="https://shpbeds.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://shpbeds.org</a><br />Email: luke.mickelson@shpbeds.org<br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/shpluke/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Luke Mickelson</a>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/73219496</guid><pubDate>Thu, 06 Aug 2026 11:00:02 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/73219496/luke_mickelson.mp3" length="67019237" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Richard C.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with David Rhode, nonprofit consultant, speaker, and author of Passion Isn't Enough, to explore why a compelling mission must be supported by strong leadership, sound strategy, and operational excellence. Drawing on years of experience coaching nonprofit leaders, David explains why passion may inspire an organization, but sustainable impact requires intentional planning, engaged boards, thoughtful fundraising, and disciplined execution.<br /><br />Throughout the episode, David and Rick discuss the essential traits of effective nonprofit leadership, including resilience, optimism, and active listening. They also examine why strategic planning should be practical and actionable rather than overly complex, and how regular measurement and evaluation help organizations demonstrate impact while continually improving their programs. David emphasizes that great leaders don't simply manage from behind a desk, they stay connected to the people they serve and use what they learn to strengthen both their mission and their organization.<br /><br />Whether you are a nonprofit executive, board member, donor, fundraiser, or philanthropic advisor, this episode offers practical guidance for building organizations that can thrive for years to come.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with David Rhode, nonprofit consultant, speaker, and author of Passion Isn't Enough, to explore why a compelling mission must be supported by strong leadership, sound strategy, and operational excellence. Drawing on years of experience coaching nonprofit leaders, David explains why passion may inspire an organization, but sustainable impact requires intentional planning, engaged boards, thoughtful fundraising, and disciplined execution.<br /><br />Throughout the episode, David and Rick discuss the essential traits of effective nonprofit leadership, including resilience, optimism, and active listening. They also examine why strategic planning should be practical and actionable rather than overly complex, and how regular measurement and evaluation help organizations demonstrate impact while continually improving their programs. David emphasizes that great leaders don't simply manage from behind a desk, they stay connected to the people they serve and use what they learn to strengthen both their mission and their organization.<br /><br />Whether you are a nonprofit executive, board member, donor, fundraiser, or philanthropic advisor, this episode offers practical guidance for building organizations that can thrive for years to come. David's message is both encouraging and challenging: passion may be the spark that starts a nonprofit, but leadership, accountability, and strategy are what allow that passion to create lasting impact.<br /><br /><b>Contact Rick Peck:</b><br />Website:<a href="https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com</a><br />Email: ThePhilanthropyGuy@gmail.com<br />Book A call:<a href="https://calendar.app.google/axpBWYbMzZ4UY8tK8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Rick Peck's Calendar</a><br />Sign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter:<a href="https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/o0P5UEI/thephilanthropyguy?source_type=lipo&amp;source_id=670802ff-63ae-4cdc-ba37-15128b8e7e78&amp;source_id=6b99ddc9-ad10-41eb-9ad3-f8bfc44de192&amp;source_type=em&amp;c=Qkt52a7LhPPWyffw4A6HpBLdRd16qiwN5qs98FATJL5iWkzcjgkK3Q==" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Charitable Giving Newsletter</a><br />LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-peck/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Richard Peck</a><br /><br /><b>Contact David Rhode:</b><br />Website:<a href="https://dotdotorg.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://dotdotorg.com</a><br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-rhode-1129183/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">David Rhode</a><br />Book: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DLLBB3W2?lv=shuf&amp;channelId=500&amp;plpRedirect=mhFallback" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Passion Isn't Enough</a>]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>2299</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>boardgovernance,charitablegiving,leadership,moneytogive,nonprofitleadership,nonprofitmanagement,passionisntenough,philanthropy,rickpeck,strategicplanning,thephilanthropyguy</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/eac9103ca5780c9603b48fe4e4d6271d.jpg"/><itunes:episode>89</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Ep. 88 Giving with Intention: How Donor-Advised Funds Can Transform Generosity with Michael Dunlap</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/ep-88-giving-with-intention-how-donor-advised-funds-can-transform-generosity-with-michael-dunlap--73016877</link><description><![CDATA[What if one of the greatest barriers to generosity isn't a lack of resources, but a lack of time and clarity? In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Michael Dunlap, Vice President and Relationship Manager at National Christian Foundation, to discuss how donor-advised funds can help donors move from reactive giving to intentional generosity. Drawing from his work with individuals and families across the country, Michael explains how reducing the pressure around charitable giving creates space for deeper purpose, better planning, and greater impact.<br /><br />Throughout the episode, Michael and Rick explore why many donors feel overwhelmed by year-end deadlines, constant fundraising requests, and uncertainty about where to give.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Bishop Kevin Foreman for an inspiring conversation about purpose-driven giving, leadership, and building a legacy that lasts. Drawing on decades of ministry and community leadership, Bishop Foreman challenges listeners to view generosity as a lifelong identity rooted in intentional action, not occasional moments of giving.<br /><br />Throughout the episode, Rick and Bishop Foreman explore the mindset behind meaningful philanthropy.

Bishop Foreman encourages listeners to focus on the causes they are uniquely called to serve while reminding us that sustainable change is built through leadership, collaboration, measurable outcomes, and faithful execution.<br /><br />Whether you are a donor, nonprofit leader, philanthropic advisor, or someone seeking to make a greater difference, this conversation offers practical wisdom for creating lasting impact.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Mitzi Perdue—author, humanitarian, philanthropist, and war correspondent—for a powerful conversation about service, compassion, and finding purpose through helping others. Inspired by the philanthropic values of her family, including the founders of the Sheraton Hotel chain and Perdue Farms, Mitzi shares how a commitment to giving has shaped every chapter of her life. Today, she continues that mission through humanitarian work in Ukraine, documenting war crimes, and supporting innovative solutions for people affected by conflict.<br /><br />Throughout the episode, Mitzi reflects on the lessons that defined her understanding of generosity. She recalls her father's belief that "the greatest pleasure that all my money has ever given me is in giving it away," and her mother's encouragement to act quickly whenever an opportunity arises to help someone in need. Those principles became the foundation for a life centered on service rather than success, reminding listeners that true legacy is measured by the lives we touch, not the wealth we accumulate.<br /><br />The conversation also explores Mitzi's work in Ukraine, where she has witnessed both the devastation of war and the remarkable resilience of its people. She explains how storytelling serves as an act of advocacy by preserving truth, honoring survivors, and inspiring others to care. Rick and Mitzi also discuss an innovative artificial intelligence-powered mental health platform being developed to provide immediate emotional support to Ukrainians experiencing trauma, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress—demonstrating how technology and philanthropy can work together to address urgent humanitarian needs.<br /><br />Whether you are a donor, nonprofit leader, philanthropic advisor, or simply someone who wants to make a difference, this episode offers a moving reminder that generosity can take many forms. Through service, storytelling, innovation, and everyday acts of kindness, Mitzi shows that each of us has the ability to bring hope to others and create lasting impact.<br /><br />Contact Rick Peck:<br /><ul><li>Website:<a href="https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com</a></li><li>Email: ThePhilanthropyGuy@gmail.com</li><li>Book A call:<a href="https://calendar.app.google/axpBWYbMzZ4UY8tK8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Rick Peck's Calendar</a></li><li>Sign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter:<a href="https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/o0P5UEI/thephilanthropyguy?source_type=lipo&amp;source_id=670802ff-63ae-4cdc-ba37-15128b8e7e78&amp;source_id=6b99ddc9-ad10-41eb-9ad3-f8bfc44de192&amp;source_type=em&amp;c=Qkt52a7LhPPWyffw4A6HpBLdRd16qiwN5qs98FATJL5iWkzcjgkK3Q==" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Charitable Giving Newsletter</a></li><li>LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-peck/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Richard Peck</a></li></ul><br /><br />Contact Mitzi Perdue:<br /><ul><li>Website:<a href="https://mitziperdue.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://mitziperdue.com</a></li><li>LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mitziperdue/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Mitzi Perdue</a></li></ul>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/72632989</guid><pubDate>Thu, 25 Jun 2026 11:00:02 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72632989/mitzi_perdue.mp3" length="66353869" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Richard C.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Ryan Dewey Smith, Founder and CEO of Imperium, for an insightful conversation about one of the nonprofit sector's greatest challenges: building sustainable organizations. Drawing on decades of experience supporting nonprofits across the country, Ryan explains why meaningful impact depends on more than a compelling mission. Strong infrastructure, sound financial planning, access to capital, and strategic leadership are all essential to creating lasting change.<br /><br />Throughout the episode, Ryan and Rick explore the balance between advancing a mission and building the operational foundation needed to support it. Ryan explains that many nonprofits become so focused on serving their communities that they unintentionally overlook the systems, financial safeguards, and organizational capacity required for long-term success. As he puts it, "No money, no mission. No mission, no money." Rather than viewing infrastructure as overhead, Ryan encourages nonprofit leaders to see it as a vital investment that enables mission delivery.<br /><br />The conversation also examines the risks of mission creep and the importance of intentional growth. Ryan describes how organizations can gradually expand beyond their original purpose without the people, processes, or resources needed to sustain that growth. He also highlights the critical role of strong governance, collaborative leadership, and strategic partnerships. By embracing a "we" mindset and leveraging shared services and expertise, nonprofits can strengthen their operations, increase their impact, and remain focused on the communities they serve.<br /><br />Whether you are a nonprofit executive, board member, fundraiser, donor, or philanthropic advisor, this episode offers practical guidance for building resilient organizations that can serve their missions for years to come. Ryan's message is both simple and powerful: sustainable nonprofits don't choose between mission and operations—they recognize that lasting impact requires both.<br /><br />Contact Rick Peck:<br /><ul><li>Website:<a href="https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com</a></li><li>Email: ThePhilanthropyGuy@gmail.com</li><li>Book A call:<a href="https://calendar.app.google/axpBWYbMzZ4UY8tK8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Rick Peck's Calendar</a></li><li>Sign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter:<a href="https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/o0P5UEI/thephilanthropyguy?source_type=lipo&amp;source_id=670802ff-63ae-4cdc-ba37-15128b8e7e78&amp;source_id=6b99ddc9-ad10-41eb-9ad3-f8bfc44de192&amp;source_type=em&amp;c=Qkt52a7LhPPWyffw4A6HpBLdRd16qiwN5qs98FATJL5iWkzcjgkK3Q==" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Charitable Giving Newsletter</a></li><li>LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-peck/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Richard Peck</a></li></ul><br />Contact Ryan Dewey Smith:<br /><ul><li>Website:<a href="https://imperium.global/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://imperium.global</a></li><li>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-dewey-smith/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ryan Dewey Smith</a></li></ul>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/72535363</guid><pubDate>Thu, 18 Jun 2026 11:00:02 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72535363/ryan_dewey.mp3" length="65777623" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Richard C.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Howard Pearl, CEO of CarEasy and Giving Realty, for an eye-opening conversation about the untapped potential of non-cash asset giving. Drawing on more than a decade of experience helping nonprofits accept and liquidate donated assets, Howard explains why organizations that focus solely on cash donations may be overlooking transformational gifts. From vehicles and real estate to stocks, insurance policies, and emerging asset classes, he shares how nonprofits can expand their fundraising strategies without increasing risk or administrative complexity.<br /><br />Throughout the episode, Howard and Rick explore why non-cash asset giving represents one of philanthropy's greatest untapped opportunities. While many nonprofits devote significant resources to securing cash donations, countless donors hold appreciated or unused assets that could create greater charitable impact while offering potential tax advantages. Howard encourages organizations to broaden the conversation with donors, explaining that "Everybody's out there asking for money. You're competing with 900,000 other nonprofits in this country." By making it easier for donors to contribute assets instead of cash, nonprofits can unlock new revenue streams while helping donors give in ways that better align with their financial circumstances.<br /><br />The conversation also highlights an important truth that extends far beyond fundraising: every donated asset represents a personal story. Howard shares touching examples of families donating cherished vehicles, inherited property, and other meaningful possessions, reminding listeners that generosity is deeply emotional. Whether helping a widow say goodbye to her late husband's vintage automobile or assisting a family in donating the minivan where both of their children were unexpectedly born, Howard emphasizes that stewardship always comes before the transaction. As he explains, "For us, the most important part of the equation isn't the car donation, it's the donor." Those relationships, built through empathy and service, create trust that lasts well beyond any single gift.<br /><br />Howard also reassures nonprofit leaders that embracing non-cash asset giving doesn't require becoming an expert in every type of donation. By partnering with experienced organizations that specialize in evaluating, accepting, and liquidating complex assets, nonprofits can confidently offer donors more giving options while minimizing liability and administrative burden. As Howard reflects, "Anytime you can find yourself in a situation where you can be of service, the rewards are extraordinary." His message is both practical and inspiring: expanding the ways donors can give ultimately expands the impact nonprofits can make in the communities they serve.<br /><br />Whether you are a nonprofit leader, fundraiser, donor, philanthropic advisor, or professional interested in planned giving, this episode offers valuable insights into one of the most overlooked areas of charitable fundraising. Howard's stories and practical advice demonstrate that generosity often begins by simply asking a different question—and recognizing that meaningful gifts come in many forms.<br /><br />Contact Rick Peck:<br /><ul><li>Website:<a href="https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com</a></li><li>Email: ThePhilanthropyGuy@gmail.com</li><li>Book A call:<a href="https://calendar.app.google/axpBWYbMzZ4UY8tK8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Rick Peck's Calendar</a></li><li>Sign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter:<a href="https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/o0P5UEI/thephilanthropyguy?source_type=lipo&amp;source_id=670802ff-63ae-4cdc-ba37-15128b8e7e78&amp;source_id=6b99ddc9-ad10-41eb-9ad3-f8bfc44de192&amp;source_type=em&amp;c=Qkt52a7LhPPWyffw4A6HpBLdRd16qiwN5qs98FATJL5iWkzcjgkK3Q==" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Charitable Giving Newsletter</a></li><li>LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-peck/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Richard Peck</a></li></ul><br />Contact Howard Pearl:<br /><ul><li>Website:<a href="https://careasy.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://careasy.org</a></li><li>Website:<a href="https://givingrealty.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://givingrealty.org</a></li><li>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/howardpearl/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Howard Pearl</a></li></ul>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/72387184</guid><pubDate>Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:00:02 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72387184/howard_pearl.mp3" length="69268254" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Richard C.

Howard's stories and practical advice demonstrate that generosity often begins by simply asking a different question—and recognizing that meaningful gifts come in many forms.<br /><br />Contact Rick Peck:<br /><ul><li>Website:<a href="https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com</a></li><li>Email: ThePhilanthropyGuy@gmail.com</li><li>Book A call:<a href="https://calendar.app.google/axpBWYbMzZ4UY8tK8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Rick Peck's Calendar</a></li><li>Sign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter:<a...]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>2884</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>careasy,charitablegiving,donorengagement,fundraising,givingrealty,legacygiving,moneytogive,noncashassets,nonprofitfundraising,philanthropy,plannedgiving,rickpeck,thephilanthropyguy</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/eac9103ca5780c9603b48fe4e4d6271d.jpg"/><itunes:episode>82</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Ep. 81 The Power of Giving Together: How Giving Circles Are Transforming Philanthropy with Emily Rasmussen</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/ep-81-the-power-of-giving-together-how-giving-circles-are-transforming-philanthropy-with-emily-rasmussen--72187301</link><description><![CDATA[What if the future of philanthropy isn't about giving more, but giving together? In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Emily Rasmussen, Founder and CEO of Grapevine, for an inspiring conversation about the growing movement of giving circles and how collaborative philanthropy is reshaping charitable giving. Emily shares how giving circles empower everyday people to pool their resources, learn alongside one another, and collectively support causes they care about most. Through shared purpose, conversation, and community, philanthropy becomes more accessible, relational, and impactful—regardless of a donor's income level.<br /><br />Throughout the episode, Emily and Rick explore how giving circles are democratizing philanthropy by creating opportunities for more people to participate meaningfully in charitable giving. Rather than limiting philanthropy to major donors or large private foundations, giving circles demonstrate that small contributions, when combined, can create significant impact. Emily emphasizes that "We're all philanthropists," reminding listeners that generosity is defined less by the size of a gift and more by the willingness to come together around a shared mission. The conversation highlights how giving circles foster education, strengthen donor engagement, and encourage thoughtful decision-making while helping communities address local and global needs.<br /><br />The discussion also examines the growing importance of connection in philanthropy. At a time when many people feel increasingly isolated, giving circles create spaces where individuals from different backgrounds can build trust, learn from one another, and work toward common goals. Emily shares research showing that 91% of giving circle participants report a stronger sense of belonging to their community. She explains that people are increasingly seeking meaningful relationships through their generosity, noting that "People want more connection across difference." Rather than simply writing a check, donors are looking for opportunities to engage with others who share a commitment to creating positive change.<br /><br />Technology has helped accelerate this movement far beyond neighborhood gatherings. Through Grapevine's platform, giving circles can organize virtually, support nonprofits across the country, and build sustainable communities of recurring donors. Emily also discusses how nonprofits themselves are beginning to embrace giving-circle models as they recognize that today's donors want more than transactional fundraising—they want community, participation, and shared impact. One particularly compelling insight is that while only about 2% of new nonprofit donations are typically established as recurring gifts, more than half of donations made through Grapevine communities recur automatically. This shift reflects a growing preference for relationship-driven philanthropy that strengthens both donor engagement and nonprofit sustainability.<br /><br />Whether you are a donor, nonprofit leader, philanthropic advisor, fundraiser, or simply someone looking to make a greater difference, this conversation offers a hopeful vision for the future of generosity. Emily's work reminds us that lasting impact doesn't require extraordinary wealth—it begins when ordinary people come together with shared purpose, curiosity, and a desire to improve their communities.<br /><br />Contact Rick Peck:<br /><ul><li>Website:<a href="https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com</a></li><li>Email: ThePhilanthropyGuy@gmail.com</li><li>Book A call:<a href="https://calendar.app.google/axpBWYbMzZ4UY8tK8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Rick Peck's Calendar</a></li><li>Sign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter:<a href="https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/o0P5UEI/thephilanthropyguy?source_type=lipo&amp;source_id=670802ff-63ae-4cdc-ba37-15128b8e7e78&amp;source_id=6b99ddc9-ad10-41eb-9ad3-f8bfc44de192&amp;source_type=em&amp;c=Qkt52a7LhPPWyffw4A6HpBLdRd16qiwN5qs98FATJL5iWkzcjgkK3Q==" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Charitable Giving Newsletter</a></li><li>LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-peck/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Richard Peck</a></li></ul>Contact Emily Rasmussen:<br /><ul><li>Website:<a href="https://www.grapevine.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://www.grapevine.org</a></li><li>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/emily-rasmussen-02816619/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Emily Rasmussen</a></li></ul>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/72187301</guid><pubDate>Thu, 04 Jun 2026 11:00:02 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72187301/emily_rasmussen.mp3" length="68542106" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Richard C.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Jessie Krafft for a timely and thought-provoking conversation about the future of global philanthropy, donor trust, and nonprofit resilience. Drawing from insights in the newly released World Giving Report, Jessie explains how charities across more than 100 countries are navigating rising demand, shrinking government support, workforce challenges, and increasing pressure to demonstrate transparency and impact. The conversation also explores the surprising disconnect between what donors say they need from nonprofits and what organizations believe they are already providing.<br /><br />Throughout the episode, Jessie and Rick unpack why unrestricted and flexible funding may be more important now than ever before. From lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic to the growing importance of trust-based philanthropy, they discuss how nonprofits can build stronger long-term resilience through better communication, leadership, operational capacity, and donor relationships. Jessie also shares practical insights into nonprofit sustainability, global giving trends, transparency, storytelling, board governance, and why investing in nonprofit infrastructure is critical to solving some of the world’s most urgent challenges.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Kathleen Quinn for a deeply personal and transformative conversation about legacy, grief, abundance, and the mindset shifts that shape how people give. Kathleen shares the powerful story of establishing a scholarship fund with her husband just before receiving his terminal cancer diagnosis, and how that experience forever changed her perspective on time, generosity, and the importance of acting on what matters most before “someday” slips away.<br /><br />Throughout the conversation, Kathleen explores the emotional and psychological barriers that often prevent people from stepping fully into philanthropy, even when they have the financial ability to give. From childhood money beliefs and scarcity thinking to self-worth, boundaries, alignment, and purpose, she explains how mindset work can help people move from fear and hesitation toward greater clarity and fulfillment. The episode also dives into legacy planning, donor psychology, scholarships, intentional living, and why generosity becomes most meaningful when it aligns with personal values and lived experience. Whether you are a donor, nonprofit leader, financial advisor, or someone reflecting on the kind of impact you want to leave behind, this episode offers a thoughtful and inspiring reminder that meaningful giving starts with meaningful self-awareness.<br /><br /><br /><b>Contact Rick Peck:</b><br />Website: <a href="https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com</a><br />Email: ThePhilanthropyGuy@gmail.com<br />Book A call: <a href="https://calendar.app.google/axpBWYbMzZ4UY8tK8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rick Peck's Calendar</a><br />Sign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter: <a href="https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/o0P5UEI/thephilanthropyguy?source_type=lipo&amp;source_id=670802ff-63ae-4cdc-ba37-15128b8e7e78&amp;source_id=6b99ddc9-ad10-41eb-9ad3-f8bfc44de192&amp;source_type=em&amp;c=Qkt52a7LhPPWyffw4A6HpBLdRd16qiwN5qs98FATJL5iWkzcjgkK3Q==" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Charitable Giving Newsletter</a><br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-peck/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Richard Peck</a><br /><br /><b>Contact Kathleen Quinn:</b><br />Website: <a href="https://kathleenaquinn.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">kathleenaquinn.com</a><br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathleenaquinnllc/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kathleen Quinn</a><br />Email: kathleenaquinnllc@gmail.com]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/72006400</guid><pubDate>Thu, 21 May 2026 11:00:03 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72006400/kathleen_quinn.mp3" length="72723644" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Richard C.

In Part 2 of this conversation on Money to Give, Rick Peck welcomes back James Meisner to explore how nonprofits can build stronger donor loyalty through more personalized, authentic, and human-centered communication. Drawing from years of fundraising and donor engagement experience, James explains why storytelling, consistency, and transparency often matter far more than polished marketing campaigns alone. He also shares practical insights on designing meaningful monthly impact updates, using personal stories to deepen emotional connection, and helping donors truly see the difference their support is making.<br /><br />Throughout the episode, James and Rick dive into the power of personalized stewardship strategies, including leadership outreach, authentic program staff updates, handwritten notes, text messaging, and timely behind-the-scenes communication that makes donors feel genuinely seen and appreciated. The conversation also explores the role AI can play in helping resource-constrained nonprofits communicate more effectively without sacrificing authenticity or human connection. From donor psychology and storytelling to transparency, vulnerability, and relationship-building, this episode offers highly actionable lessons for nonprofit leaders, fundraisers, consultants, board members, and donors who want to strengthen trust and create more sustainable long-term giving relationships.

In Part 1 of this conversation on Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with James Meisner to unpack some of the most common and costly donor stewardship mistakes organizations continue to make. From major gifts going completely unacknowledged to impersonal communication and weak donor engagement strategies, James shares real-world examples that reveal why donor retention remains one of the nonprofit sector’s greatest ongoing challenges. He also explains why many organizations unintentionally create transactional donor experiences instead of building authentic, long-term relationships grounded in trust and appreciation.<br /><br />Throughout the episode, James and Rick explore the critical role stewardship plays in fundraising success, why timely gratitude matters more than many organizations realize, and how simple communication shifts can dramatically improve donor engagement. The conversation dives into personalized donor experiences, major gift relationships, data mistakes, automation pitfalls, and the importance of making donors feel like active participants in the mission rather than passive observers. James also shares practical insights on relationship-building, coaching young fundraising professionals, and why human connection still matters more than technology alone. Whether you are a nonprofit executive, fundraiser, development officer, consultant, board member, or donor, this episode offers actionable lessons on how thoughtful stewardship can strengthen trust, increase retention, and inspire long-term generosity.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Domitille Marchal Lemoine for an insightful conversation about international giving, fiscal sponsorship, and the growing importance of cross-border philanthropy.

The conversation explores the restoration of Notre Dame, French-American philanthropic history, scientific and medical research, emergency response, arts and culture, women conductors in classical music, and the broader impact of international collaboration. Domitille also highlights how thoughtful donor guidance and strategic partnerships help connect philanthropists with causes that align with their values and desired impact.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Nancy Griffin for a powerful conversation about empowering women to take ownership of their health, wealth, legacy, and overall well-being.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Crystal Petry for an energetic and highly practical conversation about the true power of grant funding. Crystal explains why one of the biggest misconceptions in the funding world is that grants only apply to nonprofit organizations, and how businesses and entrepreneurs can also leverage grant opportunities to support expansion, staffing, operations, and long-term growth. Drawing from more than a decade of experience securing millions of dollars in grant funding, Crystal shares the mindset, discipline, and strategy required to become successful in the grant writing space.<br /><br />Throughout the episode, Crystal also dives into her quarterly virtual grant writing bootcamp, where participants work hands-on through real grant applications and leave with up to 80–85% of an actual grant completed. The conversation explores the importance of research, diversification, grant history, timing, alignment with funders, and building credibility over time. Rick and Crystal also discuss podcasting, education, entrepreneurship, and the importance of empowering people with actionable knowledge they can immediately apply in their own organizations and careers. Whether you are a nonprofit leader, entrepreneur, consultant, aspiring grant writer, or someone searching for new funding opportunities, this episode offers practical insights and inspiring encouragement on how strategic grant writing can become a long-term engine for growth and impact.<br /><b></b><br /><b></b><br /><b>Contact Rick Peck:</b><br />Website: <a href="https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com</a><br />Email: ThePhilanthropyGuy@gmail.com<br />Book A call: <a href="https://calendar.app.google/axpBWYbMzZ4UY8tK8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rick Peck's Calendar</a><br />Sign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter: <a href="https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/o0P5UEI/thephilanthropyguy?source_type=lipo&amp;source_id=670802ff-63ae-4cdc-ba37-15128b8e7e78&amp;source_id=6b99ddc9-ad10-41eb-9ad3-f8bfc44de192&amp;source_type=em&amp;c=Qkt52a7LhPPWyffw4A6HpBLdRd16qiwN5qs98FATJL5iWkzcjgkK3Q==" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Charitable Giving Newsletter</a><br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-peck/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Richard Peck</a><br /><br /><b>Contact Crystal Petry:</b><br />Website:<a href="https://www.capetryllc.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.capetryllc.com</a><br />Podcast: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-crystal-petry-podcast/id1687118074" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Crystal Petry Podcast</a><br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/capetryllc/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Crystal Petry</a>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/71211588</guid><pubDate>Tue, 14 Apr 2026 11:00:02 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/71211588/crystal_petry.mp3" length="56287943" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Richard C.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Grant Berkshire for a timely and insightful conversation about the evolving political landscape surrounding charitable organizations and the nonprofit sector. Drawing from his experience analyzing federal legislation and public policy trends, Grant explains why 2026 already feels unusually unpredictable in Washington and how election cycles, congressional turnover, tax policy debates, and increasing partisanship are shaping the future of philanthropy in ways many organizations may not fully realize.<br /><br />Throughout the episode, Grant unpacks the growing scrutiny facing nonprofits and donor-advised funds, including discussions around oversight, transparency, foreign influence concerns, and proposed policy changes that could significantly impact charitable organizations. The conversation also explores the long-term implications of congressional gridlock, shifting political power, budget reconciliation packages, and why nonprofit leaders must become more proactive in building relationships with policymakers and telling their impact stories effectively.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Grant Van Der Beken to explore the often misunderstood world of foster care, residential children’s homes, and the complex realities facing vulnerable youth in New Hampshire. Grant shares how Webster House has spent more than 160 years supporting children in need by providing not only shelter and safety, but also mentorship, stability, life skills, and opportunities for personal growth.<br /><br />Grant explains why New Hampshire relies on children’s homes at more than double the national average, how placement decisions are made for children entering care, and why successful support requires far more than simply meeting basic needs. The discussion also highlights the financial challenges facing residential care organizations, the importance of community involvement, and the transformative impact stable environments can have on children discovering their passions, confidence, and future direction.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Lauren Masuzzo to explore a groundbreaking trauma recovery program in Israel that is helping combat soldiers heal through an intensive five-day therapeutic protocol. Combining multiple healing modalities, community support, measurable psychological assessments, and deeply immersive treatment, the program is producing remarkable outcomes for soldiers struggling with the lasting emotional and physiological effects of war.<br /><br />Throughout the conversation, Lauren explains why trauma recovery requires more than traditional talk therapy alone and how unresolved trauma can impact every aspect of a person’s life — from marriage and parenting to professional performance and long-term health. The discussion also explores the broader role philanthropy can play in advancing innovative healing solutions, the importance of community and human connection, and how measurable outcomes are helping this work gain international attention.

Whether you are interested in mental health, veteran support, philanthropy, trauma recovery, or holistic healing approaches, this episode offers a powerful and deeply human conversation about resilience, dignity, and restoring hope after unimaginable experiences.<br /><b></b><br /><b></b><br /><b></b><br /><b>Contact Rick Peck:</b><br />Website: <a href="https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com</a><br />Email: ThePhilanthropyGuy@gmail.com<br />Book A call: <a href="https://calendar.app.google/axpBWYbMzZ4UY8tK8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rick Peck's Calendar</a><br />Sign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter: <a href="https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/o0P5UEI/thephilanthropyguy?source_type=lipo&amp;source_id=670802ff-63ae-4cdc-ba37-15128b8e7e78&amp;source_id=6b99ddc9-ad10-41eb-9ad3-f8bfc44de192&amp;source_type=em&amp;c=Qkt52a7LhPPWyffw4A6HpBLdRd16qiwN5qs98FATJL5iWkzcjgkK3Q==" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Charitable Giving Newsletter</a><br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-peck/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Richard Peck</a><br /><br /><b>Contact Lauren Masuzzo:</b><br />Website: <a href="https://www.imfa.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">imfa.org</a>]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1104</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>combattrauma,communityhealing,communityimpact,generosity,healing,holistichealing,israel,mentalhealth,mentalwellness,moneytogive,nonprofitleadership,philanthropy,ptsd,purposedrivenliving,rickpeck,thephilanthropyguy,traumahealing,traumarecovery,veteransupport</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/eac9103ca5780c9603b48fe4e4d6271d.jpg"/><itunes:episode>70</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Ep. 69 Why Nonprofit Leaders Burn Out And How To Change It with Sean Kosofsky</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/ep-69-why-nonprofit-leaders-burn-out-and-how-to-change-it-with-sean-kosofsky--70554883</link><description><![CDATA[What happens when nonprofit leaders are expected to solve complex social problems without the training, support, or protections needed to sustain themselves long term? In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Sean Kosofsky for a candid and deeply practical conversation about burnout, leadership turnover, fundraising pressure, and the structural challenges facing nonprofit executive directors today. Drawing from his experience leading five nonprofits and coaching leaders across the country, Sean explains why so many talented mission-driven professionals struggle — not because they lack passion, but because they often lack the systems, training, and organizational support required to succeed sustainably.<br /><br />Sean shares insights on nonprofit growth pressure, realistic strategic planning, board dynamics, leadership coaching, and why employment contracts may be one of the most overlooked protections in the nonprofit sector. The discussion also explores how executive directors can better manage expectations, avoid overextending themselves, create healthier workplace cultures, and focus on sustainable impact instead of constant survival mode. Whether you are a nonprofit leader, board member, donor, consultant, or someone considering leadership in the sector, this episode offers an eye-opening and highly actionable look at what it truly takes to build healthier, more resilient nonprofit organizations.<br /><br /><b></b><br /><b>Contact Rick Peck:</b><br />Website: <a href="https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com</a><br />Email: ThePhilanthropyGuy@gmail.com<br />Book A call: <a href="https://calendar.app.google/axpBWYbMzZ4UY8tK8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rick Peck's Calendar</a><br />Sign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter: <a href="https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/o0P5UEI/thephilanthropyguy?source_type=lipo&amp;source_id=670802ff-63ae-4cdc-ba37-15128b8e7e78&amp;source_id=6b99ddc9-ad10-41eb-9ad3-f8bfc44de192&amp;source_type=em&amp;c=Qkt52a7LhPPWyffw4A6HpBLdRd16qiwN5qs98FATJL5iWkzcjgkK3Q==" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Charitable Giving Newsletter</a><br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-peck/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Richard Peck</a><br /><br /><b>Contact Sean Kosofsky:</b><br />Website: <a href="https://www.nonprofitfixer.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Nonprofit Fixer</a><br />YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@nonprofitfixer" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sean Kosofsky, The Nonprofit Fixer</a><br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kosofsky/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sean Kosofsky</a>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/70554883</guid><pubDate>Thu, 12 Mar 2026 11:00:02 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/70554883/sean_kosofsky.mp3" length="54672903" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Richard C.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Julia Healey for a thoughtful conversation about generosity, donor-advised funds, legacy planning, and the deeply personal nature of philanthropy.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Lynne Howard to explore the nationwide literacy crisis, the science of reading, and how mission-driven educational innovation can transform outcomes for students and families. Lynne explains why literacy rates continue to decline despite decades of educational reform, how ineffective instructional practices have contributed to the problem, and why literacy impacts far more than academics — influencing long-term economic opportunity, health outcomes, incarceration rates, and overall quality of life.<br /><br />Lynne shares how Cornerstone Charter Public School is being designed around research-based literacy instruction using the Orton-Gillingham approach and intensive teacher training rooted in the science of reading. The episode also explores the role charter schools play within public education, why individualized and evidence-based instruction matters, and how early intervention can dramatically improve lifelong learning outcomes.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Rob Zeeb to explore the emotional, relational, and philanthropic side of wealth transfer. Drawing from his experience as a former estate planning attorney, Rob shares the pivotal story that transformed his career — witnessing a carefully structured fortune passed down successfully from a legal and tax perspective, only to create devastating personal consequences because the heirs were unprepared for the responsibility that came with it.<br /><br />Rob explains why true legacy is about far more than money and documents. He discusses how successful families intentionally build cultures of communication, trust, mentoring, and shared purpose across generations. The episode also explores family purpose statements, philanthropy as a teaching tool, experiential learning for children and young adults, and the growing differences between generations when it comes to giving, accountability, and impact. Whether you are part of a high-net-worth family, a professional advisor, nonprofit leader, or simply someone hoping to pass meaningful values on to future generations, this episode offers thoughtful and practical insights on how intentional conversations today can shape families for decades to come.<br /><b></b><br /><b></b><br /><b></b><br /><b>Contact Rick Peck:</b><br />Website: <a href="https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com</a><br />Email: ThePhilanthropyGuy@gmail.com<br />Book A call: <a href="https://calendar.app.google/axpBWYbMzZ4UY8tK8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rick Peck's Calendar</a><br />Sign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter: <a href="https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/o0P5UEI/thephilanthropyguy?source_type=lipo&amp;source_id=670802ff-63ae-4cdc-ba37-15128b8e7e78&amp;source_id=6b99ddc9-ad10-41eb-9ad3-f8bfc44de192&amp;source_type=em&amp;c=Qkt52a7LhPPWyffw4A6HpBLdRd16qiwN5qs98FATJL5iWkzcjgkK3Q==" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Charitable Giving Newsletter</a><br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-peck/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Richard Peck</a><br /><br /><b>Contact Rob Zeeb:</b><br />Website: <a href="https://www.genacygroup.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Genacy</a><br />Website: <a href="https://www.theheritageinstitute.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Heritage Institute</a><br />Email: rod@genacygroup.com<br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rod-zeeb-9341a98/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rod Zeeb</a>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/70096177</guid><pubDate>Thu, 19 Feb 2026 12:00:02 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/70096177/rob_zeeb.mp3" length="51985880" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Richard C.

Whether you are part of a high-net-worth family, a professional advisor, nonprofit leader, or simply someone hoping to pass meaningful values on to future generations, this episode offers thoughtful and practical insights on how intentional conversations today can shape families for decades to come.<br /><b></b><br /><b></b><br /><b></b><br /><b>Contact Rick Peck:</b><br />Website: <a href="https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com</a><br />Email: ThePhilanthropyGuy@gmail.com<br />Book A call: <a href="https://calendar.app.google/axpBWYbMzZ4UY8tK8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rick Peck's Calendar</a><br />Sign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter: <a href="https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/o0P5UEI/thephilanthropyguy?source_type=lipo&amp;source_id=670802ff-63ae-4cdc-ba37-15128b8e7e78&amp;source_id=6b99ddc9-ad10-41eb-9ad3-f8bfc44de192&amp;source_type=em&amp;c=Qkt52a7LhPPWyffw4A6HpBLdRd16qiwN5qs98FATJL5iWkzcjgkK3Q==" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Charitable Giving Newsletter</a><br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-peck/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Richard Peck</a><br /><br /><b>Contact Rob Zeeb:</b><br />Website: <a href="https://www.genacygroup.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Genacy</a><br />Website: <a href="https://www.theheritageinstitute.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Heritage Institute</a><br />Email: rod@genacygroup.com<br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rod-zeeb-9341a98/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rod Zeeb</a>]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>2166</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>estateplanning,familycommunication,familygovernance,familylegacy,familystewardship,financialstewardship,generationalwealth,generosity,legacyplanning,moneytogive,multigenerationalwealth,philanthropy,purposedrivengiving,thephilanthropyguy,wealthtransfer</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/eac9103ca5780c9603b48fe4e4d6271d.jpg"/><itunes:episode>66</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Ep. 65 Storytelling, Healing, and Community Resilience After Disaster with Kim Marshall</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/ep-65-storytelling-healing-and-community-resilience-after-disaster-with-kim-marshall--69951417</link><description><![CDATA[What happens after the flames are extinguished — when entire communities are left trying to process trauma, rebuild their lives, and rediscover hope? In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Kim Marshall to discuss her firsthand experience surviving the devastating Los Angeles wildfires and how that experience inspired her to launch the #LA Rising podcast. Kim shares the terrifying story of her evacuation, the emotional toll of displacement, and the long-term challenges wildfire survivors continue to face months after the disaster captured global attention.<br /><br />Kim explains why storytelling plays a critical role in healing, preparedness, and community resilience. From interviewing survivors, firefighters, community organizers, health experts, and local leaders to documenting lessons that other communities can learn from future climate disasters, Kim’s work is helping preserve a living history of recovery and hope. The discussion also explores disaster philanthropy, emergency preparedness, environmental health concerns, mental wellness after trauma, and the importance of creating space for people to truly be heard. Whether you are involved in philanthropy, disaster response, nonprofit leadership, mental health, or simply care about the future of resilient communities, this episode offers a deeply human and inspiring conversation about rebuilding lives through compassion, connection, and storytelling.<br /><b></b><br /><b></b><br /><b></b><br /><b>Contact Rick Peck:</b><br />Website: <a href="https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com</a><br />Email: ThePhilanthropyGuy@gmail.com<br />Book A call: <a href="https://calendar.app.google/axpBWYbMzZ4UY8tK8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rick Peck's Calendar</a><br />Sign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter: <a href="https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/o0P5UEI/thephilanthropyguy?source_type=lipo&amp;source_id=670802ff-63ae-4cdc-ba37-15128b8e7e78&amp;source_id=6b99ddc9-ad10-41eb-9ad3-f8bfc44de192&amp;source_type=em&amp;c=Qkt52a7LhPPWyffw4A6HpBLdRd16qiwN5qs98FATJL5iWkzcjgkK3Q==" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Charitable Giving Newsletter</a><br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-peck/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Richard Peck</a><br /><br /><b>Contact Kim Marshall:</b><br />Website: <a href="https://swelltheagency.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">swell</a><br />Email: kim@swelltheagency.com<br />Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/larisingpodcast" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">larisingpodcast</a><br /><b></b>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/69951417</guid><pubDate>Thu, 12 Feb 2026 12:00:03 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/69951417/kim_marshall.mp3" length="47865595" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/cd36f7ed-ce56-4dc1-993b-9903a870f166/cd36f7ed-ce56-4dc1-993b-9903a870f166.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/cd36f7ed-ce56-4dc1-993b-9903a870f166/cd36f7ed-ce56-4dc1-993b-9903a870f166.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/cd36f7ed-ce56-4dc1-993b-9903a870f166/cd36f7ed-ce56-4dc1-993b-9903a870f166.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>Richard C.

In Part 2 of this conversation on Money to Give, Rick Peck welcomes back Chad Hufford for a thoughtful discussion on gratitude, contentment, scarcity, and what it truly means to live with margin financially, emotionally, and spiritually. Chad explains why gratitude is not simply a feeling but a discipline, how modern culture constantly reinforces comparison and consumption, and why true abundance begins when people learn to focus on what they already have instead of what they believe is missing.<br /><br />Chad and Rick explore how financial clarity can unlock freedom, generosity, and a deeper sense of fulfillment. Chad shares powerful stories about individuals who reached financial independence and used that freedom to strengthen family relationships, serve vulnerable communities, and create meaningful impact far beyond wealth accumulation. The conversation also dives into the dangers of overconsumption, the importance of creating margin in life and finances, and why generosity is not just the result of financial freedom — but often one of the habits that helps create it in the first place. Whether you are focused on stewardship, personal growth, philanthropy, or building a healthier relationship with money, this episode offers practical and deeply reflective insights on living and giving more intentionally.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck welcomes Chad Hufford for Part 1 of a powerful conversation exploring financial stewardship, gratitude, abundance, and intentional living. Chad shares how growing up around open conversations about money shaped his understanding of finances, why most people struggle not because they lack information but because they lack execution and accountability, and how unhealthy relationships with money can quietly impact every area of life.<br /><br />Chad and Rick unpack the emotional side of finances, including scarcity mindsets, fear-based decision making, lifestyle creep, and the surprising connection between gratitude and generosity. Chad explains why generosity must become a habit long before someone feels “financially ready,” and why giving — whether through money, time, talent, or relationships — has the power to reshape both mindset and fulfillment.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with JC Carr to explore the realities of stepping into a family manufacturing business while simultaneously building a personal entrepreneurial brand and philanthropic movement. JC shares his experiences working within World Emblem, navigating leadership expectations as a next-generation executive, and balancing humility with ambition while learning the business from the ground up.<br /><br />JC also opens up about the deeply personal family experience that inspired his charitable work supporting children’s hospitals, special needs programs, and families facing difficult medical challenges. From organizing grassroots charity events and toy drives to creating intimate experiences for children battling illness, JC explains why meaningful giving is not about recognition or return on investment, but about creating moments that genuinely impact people’s lives. The episode also explores Gen Z leadership, social media influence, entrepreneurship, work ethic, and why sustained effort and authenticity still matter in today’s fast-moving world.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with JC Carr to explore the realities of stepping into a family manufacturing business while simultaneously building a personal entrepreneurial brand and philanthropic movement. JC shares his experiences working within World Emblem, navigating leadership expectations as a next-generation executive, and balancing humility with ambition while learning the business from the ground up.<br /><br />JC also opens up about the deeply personal family experience that inspired his charitable work supporting children’s hospitals, special needs programs, and families facing difficult medical challenges. From organizing grassroots charity events and toy drives to creating intimate experiences for children battling illness, JC explains why meaningful giving is not about recognition or return on investment, but about creating moments that genuinely impact people’s lives.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Kevin Dean to explore how nonprofits can begin leveraging AI to improve donor engagement, personalize outreach, streamline operations, and scale their impact. Kevin explains why many organizations misunderstand AI, how donor data becomes the foundation for smarter decision-making, and why nonprofits should think about AI not as hype, but as a practical tool for solving real operational challenges.<br /><br />Kevin shares how AI can help organizations identify the right donors at the right time, personalize communication at an individual level, analyze fundraising performance, and even deploy AI agents that function like digital interns handling repetitive tasks. He also discusses why nonprofits do not need massive budgets or long implementation timelines to begin seeing results and how organizations can gradually adopt AI in ways that complement — rather than replace — their teams.

This episode offers a powerful and deeply human conversation about resilience, opportunity, and how philanthropy can be intentionally designed to create generational transformation instead of temporary relief.<br /><br /><br /><br /><b>Contact Rick Peck:</b><br />Website: <a href="https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com</a><br />Email: ThePhilanthropyGuy@gmail.com<br />Book A call: <a href="https://calendar.app.google/axpBWYbMzZ4UY8tK8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rick Peck's Calendar</a><br />Sign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter: <a href="https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/o0P5UEI/thephilanthropyguy?source_type=lipo&amp;source_id=670802ff-63ae-4cdc-ba37-15128b8e7e78&amp;source_id=6b99ddc9-ad10-41eb-9ad3-f8bfc44de192&amp;source_type=em&amp;c=Qkt52a7LhPPWyffw4A6HpBLdRd16qiwN5qs98FATJL5iWkzcjgkK3Q==" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Charitable Giving Newsletter</a><br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-peck/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Richard Peck</a><br /><br /><b>Contact LR Fox:</b><br />Website: <a href="https://nextglobal.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">⁠https://nextglobal.org/⁠</a><br />Website: <a href="https://www.theoasisacademy.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Oasis Academy</a><br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://https//www.linkedin.com/in/lrfox/%E2%81%A0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/lrfox/⁠</a><br />Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/l.r.fox/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">l.r.fox</a><br />]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1206</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>childadvocacy,educationaccess,fostercare,givingback,globalphilanthropy,humanpotential,innovationforgood,lrfox,moneytogive,nextfoundation,nonprofitleadership,oasisacademy,orphansupport,philanthropy,purposedrivenleadership,socialentrepreneurship,socialimpact,transformationalphilanthropy,traumainformedcare,youthempowerment</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/eac9103ca5780c9603b48fe4e4d6271d.jpg"/><itunes:episode>59</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Ep. 58 Why Nonprofit CEOs Must Embrace Philanthropy Leadership with Randall Hallett</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/ep-58-why-nonprofit-ceos-must-embrace-philanthropy-leadership-with-randall-hallett--69185275</link><description><![CDATA[What happens when nonprofit CEOs are expected to lead fundraising efforts without ever being trained to lead through philanthropy? In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Randall Hallett to explore the growing leadership gap in the nonprofit sector and why authentic CEO engagement is becoming essential for long-term organizational success. Drawing from decades of experience in higher education, healthcare, and nonprofit consulting, Randall explains why many leaders struggle with fundraising not because they lack passion, but because they were never equipped, encouraged, or supported to embrace philanthropy leadership as part of their role.<br /><br />Randall shares powerful insights on what makes CEO and chief development officer partnerships successful, why vulnerability and storytelling matter in donor relationships, and how trust-based leadership can transform organizational culture. He also discusses his book Vibrant Vulnerability and why the most effective leaders are often the ones willing to listen, learn, communicate honestly, and connect authentically with both donors and teams. Whether you are a nonprofit CEO, fundraiser, board member, consultant, or emerging leader, this episode offers thoughtful guidance on building stronger leadership cultures that inspire generosity, deepen relationships, and move missions forward.<br /><b></b><br /><b></b><br /><b></b><br /><b>Contact Rick Peck:</b><br />Website: <a href="https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com</a><br />Email: ThePhilanthropyGuy@gmail.com<br />Book A call: <a href="https://calendar.app.google/axpBWYbMzZ4UY8tK8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rick Peck's Calendar</a><br />Sign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter: <a href="https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/o0P5UEI/thephilanthropyguy?source_type=lipo&amp;source_id=670802ff-63ae-4cdc-ba37-15128b8e7e78&amp;source_id=6b99ddc9-ad10-41eb-9ad3-f8bfc44de192&amp;source_type=em&amp;c=Qkt52a7LhPPWyffw4A6HpBLdRd16qiwN5qs98FATJL5iWkzcjgkK3Q==" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Charitable Giving Newsletter</a><br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-peck/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Richard Peck</a><br /><br /><b>Contact Randall Hallett:</b><br />Website: <a href="https://www.hallettphilanthropy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hallett Philanthropy</a><br />Podcast: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/around-with-randall/id1540664810" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Around with Randall</a><br />Book: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Vibrant-Vulnerability-Mastering-Philanthropy-Healthcare/dp/B0C6W5K695?crid=1L6F61D67T1LZ&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.kElQOXDSC1_Lcjfx7cSNjsYLV8Kw6srY5DMyNBROmDQ.B0tcs0IWRCEf61cjZkjhNgyMwmXXE_V3DFRTwszbZfs&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=vibrant+vulnerability+by+randall+Hallett&amp;qid=1778264171&amp;sprefix=vibrant+vulnerability+by+randall+hallett%2Caps%2C206&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Vibrant Vulnerability: Mastering Philanthropy for Today and Tomorrow's Healthcare CEOs</a>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/69185275</guid><pubDate>Thu, 25 Dec 2025 11:45:07 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/69185275/0ec2f84b2adca300e14f4ad76ab29f15.mp3" length="58657286" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/8d01e9db-bea2-4899-b5a8-badf333db84b/8d01e9db-bea2-4899-b5a8-badf333db84b.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/8d01e9db-bea2-4899-b5a8-badf333db84b/8d01e9db-bea2-4899-b5a8-badf333db84b.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/8d01e9db-bea2-4899-b5a8-badf333db84b/8d01e9db-bea2-4899-b5a8-badf333db84b.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>Richard C.

Paul shares how his company is developing an innovative immunotherapy designed to activate the body’s own immune system to seek out and destroy lingering cancer cells, potentially offering the first major advancement in osteosarcoma treatment in more than 40 years.<br /><br />Throughout the conversation, Paul also explains the growing role of venture philanthropy and how nonprofit organizations are investing directly into promising research and commercialization efforts to accelerate life-saving therapies.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Kris Miller, also known as the “Money Maestro,” to explore the world of safe money strategies, living legacy planning, and financial peace of mind. Drawing from more than three decades of experience and over $2.5 billion in protected client assets, Kris explains why so many people unknowingly expose themselves to unnecessary market risk, catastrophic healthcare costs, and financial uncertainty later in life.<br /><br />Throughout the conversation, Kris shares how safe money approaches can help individuals preserve principal, generate reliable income, and create more confidence around retirement and legacy planning. She also opens up about her own personal journey — from spiritual searching and homelessness to becoming a nationally recognized financial educator focused on helping people live with purpose and generosity. The discussion expands beyond wealth accumulation into what Kris calls a “living legacy” — using financial stability not just to preserve assets, but to experience the joy of giving, helping others, and creating meaningful impact while still alive. Whether you are preparing for retirement, thinking about estate planning, or simply looking for a different perspective on financial security, this episode offers a thoughtful and deeply human conversation about money, purpose, and peace of mind.<br /><b></b><br /><b></b><br /><b></b><br /><b>Contact Rick Peck:</b><br />Website: <a href="https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com</a><br />Email: ThePhilanthropyGuy@gmail.com<br />Book A call: <a href="https://calendar.app.google/axpBWYbMzZ4UY8tK8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rick Peck's Calendar</a><br />Sign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter: <a href="https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/o0P5UEI/thephilanthropyguy?source_type=lipo&amp;source_id=670802ff-63ae-4cdc-ba37-15128b8e7e78&amp;source_id=6b99ddc9-ad10-41eb-9ad3-f8bfc44de192&amp;source_type=em&amp;c=Qkt52a7LhPPWyffw4A6HpBLdRd16qiwN5qs98FATJL5iWkzcjgkK3Q==" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Charitable Giving Newsletter</a><br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-peck/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Richard Peck</a><br /><br /><b>Contact Kris Miller:</b><br />Website: <a href="https://healthymoneyhappylife.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">healthymoneyhappylife.com</a><br />Schedule a Strategy Session: <a href="https://meetwithkrismiller.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">meetwithkrismiller.com</a><br />Email: kris@healthymoneyhappylife.com<br />Podcast: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/money-911/id1635602204" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MONEY 911</a><br />YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@HealthyMoneyHappyLife" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Healthy Money Happy Life / Money 911 Podcast</a><br />Phone: 951- 926- 4158]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">0e9a0512-d5e1-11f0-a924-83737fd6fdbf</guid><pubDate>Thu, 11 Dec 2025 11:30:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/69185083/csn3670724350.mp3" length="44747471" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/fdde1c1c-b71b-4454-a3c9-b5d8e0baf170/fdde1c1c-b71b-4454-a3c9-b5d8e0baf170.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/fdde1c1c-b71b-4454-a3c9-b5d8e0baf170/fdde1c1c-b71b-4454-a3c9-b5d8e0baf170.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/fdde1c1c-b71b-4454-a3c9-b5d8e0baf170/fdde1c1c-b71b-4454-a3c9-b5d8e0baf170.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>Richard C.

Whether you are preparing for retirement, thinking about estate planning, or simply looking for a different perspective on financial security, this episode offers a thoughtful and deeply human conversation about money, purpose, and peace of mind.<br /><b></b><br /><b></b><br /><b></b><br /><b>Contact Rick Peck:</b><br />Website: <a href="https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com</a><br />Email: ThePhilanthropyGuy@gmail.com<br />Book A call: <a href="https://calendar.app.google/axpBWYbMzZ4UY8tK8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rick Peck's Calendar</a><br />Sign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter: <a href="https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/o0P5UEI/thephilanthropyguy?source_type=lipo&amp;source_id=670802ff-63ae-4cdc-ba37-15128b8e7e78&amp;source_id=6b99ddc9-ad10-41eb-9ad3-f8bfc44de192&amp;source_type=em&amp;c=Qkt52a7LhPPWyffw4A6HpBLdRd16qiwN5qs98FATJL5iWkzcjgkK3Q==" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Charitable Giving Newsletter</a><br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-peck/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Richard Peck</a><br /><br /><b>Contact Kris Miller:</b><br />Website: <a href="https://healthymoneyhappylife.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">healthymoneyhappylife.com</a><br />Schedule a Strategy Session: <a href="https://meetwithkrismiller.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">meetwithkrismiller.com</a><br />Email: kris@healthymoneyhappylife.com<br />Podcast: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/money-911/id1635602204" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MONEY 911</a><br />YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@HealthyMoneyHappyLife" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Healthy Money Happy Life / Money 911 Podcast</a><br />Phone: 951- 926- 4158]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1857</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>assetprotection,estateplanning,financialfreedom,financialliteracy,financialpeaceofmind,financialwellness,healthymoneyhappylife,incomeplanning,krismiller,legacygiving,livinglegacy,longtermcareplanning,money911,moneymindset,moneytogive,philanthropy,retirementplanning,safemoney,taxfreeincome,wealthprotection</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/eac9103ca5780c9603b48fe4e4d6271d.jpg"/><itunes:episode>56</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Ep. 55 Part 2: Why Financial Advisors Must Embrace Charitable Planning with Erinn Andrews</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/ep-55-part-2-why-financial-advisors-must-embrace-charitable-planning-with-erinn-andrews--69185079</link><description><![CDATA[What separates the best financial advisors from everyone else when it comes to charitable planning? In Part 2 of this conversation on Money to Give, Rick Peck welcomes back Erinn Andrews to explore the rapidly changing relationship between financial advising, donor-advised funds, and philanthropy. Erinn shares insights from new national research focused on how advisors are incorporating charitable planning into client relationships — and why the most successful advisors are making generosity a regular part of values-based financial conversations instead of waiting for clients to bring it up themselves.<br /><br />Throughout the episode, Erinn and Rick discuss emerging trends shaping the advisor landscape, including consolidation among RIAs, growing demand for philanthropic expertise, the rise of purpose-driven advisory firms, and why donor-advised funds are becoming increasingly central to long-term planning conversations. The discussion also highlights missed opportunities when advisors fail to support charitable goals, as well as the competitive advantage firms gain when they embrace philanthropy as part of a holistic client experience.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Ray DeWitt, founder of the 1031DST Group, to explore how Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) are transforming the way investors think about real estate, retirement, and long-term planning. Ray shares how his transition from traditional financial planning into alternative investments opened the door to helping clients solve not only investment challenges, but also tax concerns, landlord fatigue, and estate planning questions.<br /><br />Throughout the conversation, Ray explains how DSTs can allow investors to move from active property management into fully passive real estate ownership while potentially deferring capital gains taxes through 1031 exchanges. He also discusses why these strategies are becoming increasingly relevant as baby boomers look to simplify their lives, create income flexibility, and explore charitable giving opportunities tied to real estate wealth.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck is joined by Marc Onetto and Domitille Marchal Lemoine to tell the extraordinary story of the Hermione — the historic French frigate that carried Marquis de Lafayette to America in 1780 to help secure support for the American Revolution.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Jennifer V. Abelaj to unpack the impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and what it could mean for the future of charitable giving. Jennifer explains how new deduction thresholds may reshape donor behavior, why “bunching” donations could become more common, and how nonprofits may need to rethink their fundraising strategies heading into 2026.<br /><br />Throughout the conversation, Jennifer also shares practical guidance on how nonprofits can prepare internally for larger gifts, strengthen gift acceptance policies, navigate unusual grant rules, and avoid jeopardizing their public charity status. The discussion expands into broader nonprofit trends as well, including mergers, dissolutions, succession planning, and the growing importance of proactive legal and financial oversight.

In Part 2 of this special series on advanced charitable planning, Money to Give host Rick Peck sits down again with Randy Fox to explore the often-overlooked concept of personal goodwill and how it can become a powerful philanthropic planning tool during the sale of a business. Randy breaks down the difference between enterprise goodwill and personal goodwill while explaining how reputation, relationships, trust, and personal branding can carry significant financial value in a transaction.<br /><br />Throughout the conversation, Randy shares how business owners may be able to separate personal goodwill from a business sale and strategically direct it toward charitable vehicles like donor-advised funds, charitable remainder trusts, pooled income funds, and private foundations. He also explains why timing is critical, how proper planning can reduce capital gains taxes, and why sophisticated buyers are often willing to structure transactions around these strategies.

This episode offers a fascinating look at how thoughtful charitable planning can turn years of hard-earned reputation and business success into a lasting philanthropic legacy.<br /><b></b><br /><b></b><br /><b></b><br /><b>Contact Rick Peck:</b><br />Website: <a href="https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com</a><br />Email: ThePhilanthropyGuy@gmail.com<br />Book A call: <a href="https://calendar.app.google/axpBWYbMzZ4UY8tK8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rick Peck's Calendar</a><br />Sign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter: <a href="https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/o0P5UEI/thephilanthropyguy?source_type=lipo&amp;source_id=670802ff-63ae-4cdc-ba37-15128b8e7e78&amp;source_id=6b99ddc9-ad10-41eb-9ad3-f8bfc44de192&amp;source_type=em&amp;c=Qkt52a7LhPPWyffw4A6HpBLdRd16qiwN5qs98FATJL5iWkzcjgkK3Q==" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Charitable Giving Newsletter</a><br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-peck/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Richard Peck</a><br /><br /><b>Contact Randy Fox:</b><br />Website: <a href="https://twohawksfos.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">twohawksfos.com</a><br />Email: randy@twohawksfos.com]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1724</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>businessowners,businesssale,capitalgainstax,charitablegiving,charitableplanning,charitableremaindertrust,donoradvisedfunds,estateplanning,familyphilanthropy,financialplanning,legacygiving,moneytogive,personalgoodwill,philanthropy,pooledincomefunds,professionaladvisors,randyfox,successionplanning,taxstrategy,wealthmanagement</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/eac9103ca5780c9603b48fe4e4d6271d.jpg"/><itunes:episode>49</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Ep. 48 Part 1: Pooled Income Funds Explained: Flexible Charitable Planning Strategies with Randy Fox</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/ep-48-part-1-pooled-income-funds-explained-flexible-charitable-planning-strategies-with-randy-fox--69185075</link><description><![CDATA[What if one of the most powerful charitable planning tools has been sitting quietly in the background for decades?

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Kimberly Haley-Coleman, founder of Globe Aware, to explore how short-term volunteer service abroad is creating meaningful impact for both communities and volunteers around the world. From building clean-burning stoves in Peru to assembling wheelchairs in Cambodia, Kimberly shares how thoughtfully designed service projects can strengthen local communities while helping volunteers develop a deeper understanding of culture, gratitude, and global connection.<br /><br />Throughout the conversation, Kimberly explains how Globe Aware partners directly with local communities to support projects they genuinely need — while making global volunteering accessible through employer matching programs, donor-advised funds, and structured short-term opportunities.

In this deeply moving episode, Rick Peck sits down with Trish Kane, founder of Healerverse, to explore a journey that began with a near-death experience and transformed into a life rooted in purpose, service, and impact. After battling addiction and surviving a nine-day coma that nearly took her life, Trish emerged with a renewed sense of clarity: her purpose was no longer about personal success it was about lifting others up.<br /><br />Today, Trish is building a global platform that connects holistic and spiritual practitioners while empowering individuals to step into their highest selves. But beyond the business, her message is simple and powerful: healing begins when we shift our focus from ourselves to others. In this conversation, you’ll hear how small acts of kindness create ripple effects, why your struggles may be your greatest source of impact, and how anyone no matter where they are can start giving back today.

In this inspiring conversation, Rick Peck sits down with educator, author, and lifelong changemaker Bob Hopkins to challenge one of the biggest misconceptions in philanthropy today: that giving is reserved for those with financial means. Drawing from decades of teaching, storytelling, and community engagement, Bob shares why philanthropy is really about behavior, mindset, and everyday actions whether that’s picking up trash, making a meaningful phone call, or simply treating others with care.<br /><br />Together, they explore how redefining philanthropy can unlock a deeper sense of purpose, connection, and impact not just for individuals, but for entire communities. From Bob’s work in classrooms transforming student behavior to his books and upcoming films highlighting real-life changemakers, this episode is a reminder that generosity isn’t something you wait to achieve it’s something you choose to practice.

In this heartfelt episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Patti Parker, a seasoned financial planner, former registered nurse, and founder of Discovery Financial, to explore how personal loss can transform into a mission of impact. After experiencing profound tragedy, Patti channeled her journey into creating a platform that connects people with life-changing nonprofit resources helping both those in need and those looking to give with intention. Her work blends financial strategy with deep empathy, offering a rare perspective on how philanthropy can serve as both guidance and healing.<br /><br />Together, Rick and Patti unpack how individuals and families can move beyond traditional financial planning to define their values, create meaningful mission statements, and align their resources with causes that matter. Patti also shares the inspiration behind her podcast, Meet My Friends in Philanthropy, designed to bridge the gap between nonprofits and the people who need them most.

With a career spanning nearly three decades and an unexpected start as a Holocaust scholar working alongside Nobel Peace Prize laureate Elie Wiesel Marc shares how he built one of the leading philanthropic advisory organizations supporting high-net-worth individuals, athletes, and global changemakers. From early work with celebrities like Doug Flutie and Bon Jovi to managing hundreds of foundations, Marc reveals what separates impactful giving from costly missteps.<br /><br />This conversation dives into the realities of celebrity philanthropy, the risks of poor governance, and why collaboration not duplication is the key to solving some of the nonprofit sector’s biggest inefficiencies. Marc also introduces the concept of “design-build philanthropy,” shares insights on why many foundations fail to meet their potential, and highlights how the next generation of wealth holders is reshaping giving through global networks like Nexus. If you’re a donor, advisor, or nonprofit leader looking to maximize your impact, this episode is a masterclass in doing philanthropy the right way.<br /><br /><br /><br /><b>Contact Rick Peck:</b><br />Website: <a href="https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com</a><br />Email: ThePhilanthropyGuy@gmail.com<br />Book A call: <a href="https://calendar.app.google/axpBWYbMzZ4UY8tK8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rick Peck's Calendar</a><br />Sign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter: <a href="https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/o0P5UEI/thephilanthropyguy?source_type=lipo&amp;source_id=670802ff-63ae-4cdc-ba37-15128b8e7e78&amp;source_id=6b99ddc9-ad10-41eb-9ad3-f8bfc44de192&amp;source_type=em&amp;c=Qkt52a7LhPPWyffw4A6HpBLdRd16qiwN5qs98FATJL5iWkzcjgkK3Q==" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Charitable Giving Newsletter</a><br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-peck/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Richard Peck</a><br /><br /><b>Contact Marc Pollick:</b><br />Email: mpollick@givingback.org]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">2920bf80-7f19-11f0-a999-57ba7387f332</guid><pubDate>Fri, 22 Aug 2025 16:21:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/69185105/csn9853118263.mp3" length="22926817" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Richard C.

In this innovative episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Rosser Goodman, filmmaker and founder of Tano Rising Film, to explore how cause-driven feature films are transforming the way philanthropists create impact. Rosser shares how her model connects high-net-worth families with ready-to-produce scripts centered around critical social issues bringing underrepresented stories to life while amplifying awareness around topics like mental health, foster care, human trafficking, and environmental justice. This conversation reveals how film can move beyond entertainment to become a measurable force for change.<br /><br />Together, they dive into how philanthropists can align their legacy with storytelling, why so many powerful scripts never make it to the screen, and how Tano Rising Film is bridging that gap. Rosser also explains how impact is tracked through post-film calls to action turning audience emotion into real-world results.

Deborah shares how her work is helping women redefine what it means to be a philanthropist shifting the focus from dollar amounts to intention, alignment, and meaningful impact. Through her unique program, she creates a safe, supportive space where women can explore their values, overcome overwhelm, and gain clarity in how they give.<br /><br />Together, Rick and Deborah unpack the emotional and psychological side of philanthropy, including common barriers like decision fatigue, guilt-based giving, and lack of confidence. Deborah walks listeners through her framework for aligning giving with personal values, creating a clear philanthropic vision, and moving from reactive donations to intentional impact.

So what’s really happening behind the scenes, and why are so many organizations unintentionally leaving money on the table? In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Mitch Stein, Head of Strategy at Chariot, to break down the evolving role of DAFs and what nonprofits must understand to stay competitive in today’s giving landscape.

So what’s really happening behind the scenes, and why are so many organizations unintentionally leaving money on the table? In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Mitch Stein, Head of Strategy at Chariot, to break down the evolving role of DAFs and what nonprofits must understand to stay competitive in today’s giving landscape. From outdated misconceptions to real-world data showing how DAF donors actually behave, this conversation challenges common narratives and reveals where the biggest opportunities lie.<br /><br />Together, they explore how technology is transforming the donor experience, why ease of giving directly impacts donation size and frequency, and how nonprofits can better identify, segment, and engage DAF donors across all giving levels not just major gifts.

But how do high net worth families know when to begin the conversation, and what triggers the most meaningful giving strategies?

You’ll hear how major world events, financial milestones, and even tax planning opportunities can open the door to deeper conversations and how flexibility in giving structures allows families to adapt while staying true to their mission.

From estate planning and business exits to life transitions like retirement, loss, or even the birth of a child, this episode reveals how timing, emotion, and strategy intersect to shape impactful giving.<br /><br />Together, they unpack how families can move beyond reactive giving into intentional, values-aligned philanthropy that evolves over time. You’ll hear how major world events, financial milestones, and even tax planning opportunities can open the door to deeper conversations and how flexibility in giving structures allows families to adapt while staying true to their mission. Whether you're advising clients or navigating your own philanthropic journey, this episode offers a clear roadmap for turning everyday moments into legacy-defining decisions.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><b>Contact Rick Peck:</b><br />Website: <a href="https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com</a><br />Email: ThePhilanthropyGuy@gmail.com<br />Book A call: <a href="https://calendar.app.google/axpBWYbMzZ4UY8tK8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rick Peck's Calendar</a><br />Sign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter: <a href="https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/o0P5UEI/thephilanthropyguy?source_type=lipo&amp;source_id=670802ff-63ae-4cdc-ba37-15128b8e7e78&amp;source_id=6b99ddc9-ad10-41eb-9ad3-f8bfc44de192&amp;source_type=em&amp;c=Qkt52a7LhPPWyffw4A6HpBLdRd16qiwN5qs98FATJL5iWkzcjgkK3Q==" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Charitable Giving Newsletter</a><br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-peck/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Richard Peck</a><br /><br /><b>Contact Valerie Sussman:</b><br />Email: vsussman@herwoodassociates.com]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>2138</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>donoradvised,donoradvisedfunds,estateplanning,familyphilanthropy,highnetworth,impactdriven,legacygiving,moneytogive,nonprofitsstrategy,philanthropygiving,philanthropyplanning,philanthropypodcast,rickpeck,strategicgiving,trustbasedphilanthropy</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/eac9103ca5780c9603b48fe4e4d6271d.jpg"/><itunes:episode>23</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Ep. 22 Philanthropy Under Fire: How Tax Reform &amp; Policy Shifts Are Reshaping Giving with Sara Barba</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/ep-22-philanthropy-under-fire-how-tax-reform-policy-shifts-are-reshaping-giving-with-sara-barba--69185126</link><description><![CDATA[Tax reform is once again dominating the policy conversation in Washington, and the ripple effects could significantly impact nonprofits, donors, and the future of charitable giving.

In this first part of a two-part conversation, Rick sits down with philanthropic advisors Megan Helsner and Valerie Sussman to explore how families can align their wealth with their values while building thoughtful, effective giving strategies. Together, they unpack the many charitable vehicles available to families, from checkbook giving and donor-advised funds to community foundations, private foundations, public charities, and giving circles. They also explain why the “right” approach depends on a family’s goals, desired level of involvement, tax considerations, and long-term vision for impact.<br /><br />This episode offers a practical and insightful look at how wealthy families can make intentional choices about giving in ways that support both present priorities and future generations. Megan and Valerie discuss the importance of flexibility, family control, learning, and shared purpose in charitable planning, while also highlighting how philanthropy can serve as a unifying force across generations. Whether a family wants a simple giving structure or a more customized philanthropic legacy, this conversation sheds light on how professional advisors help navigate the options with both heart and strategy in mind.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Bria Arlene, founder and CEO of IQ Ignited, to unpack what truly drives success in federal grant making. Bria shares how nonprofits can become “grant ready,” why rushing into the process is often a costly mistake, and what it really takes to stand out in a highly competitive funding environment. She also explains why the strongest proposals are built long before the writing begins.<br /><br />Rick and Bria explore the most common challenges organizations face when pursuing federal funds, including onerous requirements, compliance concerns, capacity issues, and the pressure to chase money before an organization is fully prepared. Bria offers practical insight into how nonprofit leaders can strengthen their operations, position themselves for long-term success, and think more strategically about public funding.

In this thought-provoking episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Eli Angote, founder of The Best Notary, to explore the deeper human lessons revealed through estate planning. After working with families across thousands of legacy plans, Eli shares how estate planning is far less about money or assets than most people think. Instead, it becomes a reflection of relationships, love, trust, and the desire to protect the people we care about long after we are gone. From healthcare directives to legacy letters and final wishes, these documents often serve as deeply personal messages to the next generation.<br /><br />Rick and Eli also dive into broader reflections on service, wealth, and the meaning of legacy. Eli shares how reading The Denial of Death reshaped his understanding of why humans pursue wealth, fame, or power and how service to others can provide a far more meaningful legacy. They discuss lessons from legendary fundraiser Hank Rosso, the power of persistence, and how intentional relationships can shape our impact in the world. The conversation closes with Eli’s concept of Soju Wede, inspired by the African philosophy of Sankofa, encouraging us to learn from the past, embrace our mortality, and use our wealth financial, social, and spiritual to create a more just and compassionate future.<br /><br />If you have ever wondered what estate planning reveals about human priorities, or how our lives and relationships define the legacy we leave behind, this episode offers a powerful and philosophical perspective.<br /><br /><br /><br /><b>Contact Rick Peck:</b><br />Website: <a href="https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com</a><br />Email: ThePhilanthropyGuy@gmail.com<br />Book A call: <a href="https://calendar.app.google/axpBWYbMzZ4UY8tK8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rick Peck's Calendar</a><br />Sign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter: <a href="https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/o0P5UEI/thephilanthropyguy?source_type=lipo&amp;source_id=670802ff-63ae-4cdc-ba37-15128b8e7e78&amp;source_id=6b99ddc9-ad10-41eb-9ad3-f8bfc44de192&amp;source_type=em&amp;c=Qkt52a7LhPPWyffw4A6HpBLdRd16qiwN5qs98FATJL5iWkzcjgkK3Q==" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Charitable Giving Newsletter</a><br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-peck/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Richard Peck</a><br /><br /><b>Contact Eli Angote:</b><br />Read more about Eli's work: <a href="https://thebestnotary.net/team/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://thebestnotary.net/team/</a><br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/elijahka/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">elijahka</a>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">2e6d9a97-8674-4190-870c-45daa0d5b00b</guid><pubDate>Sat, 11 Jan 2025 17:53:55 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/69185147/csn9182601600.mp3" length="64421274" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Richard C.

The conversation closes with Eli’s concept of Soju Wede, inspired by the African philosophy of Sankofa, encouraging us to learn from the past, embrace our mortality, and use our wealth financial, social, and spiritual to create a more just and compassionate future.<br /><br />If you have ever wondered what estate planning reveals about human priorities, or how our lives and relationships define the legacy we leave behind, this episode offers a powerful and philosophical perspective.<br /><br /><br /><br /><b>Contact Rick Peck:</b><br />Website: <a href="https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com</a><br />Email: ThePhilanthropyGuy@gmail.com<br />Book A call: <a href="https://calendar.app.google/axpBWYbMzZ4UY8tK8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rick Peck's Calendar</a><br />Sign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter: <a href="https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/o0P5UEI/thephilanthropyguy?source_type=lipo&amp;source_id=670802ff-63ae-4cdc-ba37-15128b8e7e78&amp;source_id=6b99ddc9-ad10-41eb-9ad3-f8bfc44de192&amp;source_type=em&amp;c=Qkt52a7LhPPWyffw4A6HpBLdRd16qiwN5qs98FATJL5iWkzcjgkK3Q==" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Charitable Giving Newsletter</a><br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-peck/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Richard Peck</a><br /><br /><b>Contact Eli Angote:</b><br />Read more about Eli's work: <a href="https://thebestnotary.net/team/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://thebestnotary.net/team/</a><br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/elijahka/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">elijahka</a>]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>2680</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>charitablegiving,estateplanning,estateplanningprofessionals,legacyplanning,lifeandlegacy,moneytogivepodcast,philanthropy,purposedrivenlife,rickpeck,serviceoverwealth,socialimpact</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/eac9103ca5780c9603b48fe4e4d6271d.jpg"/><itunes:episode>19</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Ep. 18 Beyond Stigma: Funding What Works In Mental Health And Addiction Care with Tym Rourke</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/ep-18-beyond-stigma-funding-what-works-in-mental-health-and-addiction-care-with-tym-rourke--69185152</link><description><![CDATA[In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with behavioral health expert Tym Rourke for a timely and deeply important conversation about mental illness, substance use, and the systems that shape recovery in the United States. Tym explains why these issues have been at a crisis point for years, how stigma has kept too many people suffering in silence, and why the pandemic only intensified what was already happening beneath the surface. He also breaks down what actually works in behavioral health care, highlighting the essential roles of prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and long-term recovery support. This episode offers a practical and compassionate framework for anyone trying to better understand one of the most urgent challenges facing families and communities today.<br /><br />Rick and Tym also explore where philanthropy can make the greatest difference and where donors should be cautious about placing their dollars. Rather than simply paying for treatment that insurance should already cover, Tym explains why funders can be especially impactful by supporting prevention efforts, recovery organizations, harm reduction work, policy advocacy, workforce capacity, and the wraparound services that help people stay stable and well. They also discuss how government, insurers, and policymakers influence access to care, and why professional advisors can play a powerful role in helping donors give strategically in this space.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck speaks with Matt Coleman, Executive Director of Giving Multiplier and researcher at Harvard University, about the psychology behind charitable giving. Drawing from behavioral science and experimental psychology, Matt explains how emotional connection, social influence, and the “warm glow” of giving shape donor behavior. The conversation explores why giving decisions often differ from other financial choices like investing or purchasing products, and why donors frequently rely on instinct and personal stories rather than measurable impact.<br /><br />Rick and Matt also dive into how charitable effectiveness is assessed and why some organizations can be dramatically more impactful than others. They discuss the surprising gap between typical charities and highly effective ones, the challenge donors face when balancing emotional connection with data-driven impact, and how psychological research inspired the creation of Giving Multiplier a platform designed to help donors support causes they love while also funding some of the most effective charities in the world.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck talks with author, fundraising coach, and major donor Lisa Greer about what happens when nonprofits focus too much on the next gift and not enough on the donor experience. Drawing from her own perspective as a major donor, Lisa shares how frustrating it can be when organizations fail to build authentic relationships, overlook new donors, and treat generosity like an automatic withdrawal instead of a true partnership.<br /><br />Rick and Lisa explore why traditional fundraising methods are becoming unsustainable, especially as nonprofits continue to rely on a shrinking pool of familiar donors while missing opportunities to engage new generations of supporters. They discuss the importance of thanking donors well, creating real human connection, and rethinking fundraising culture so donors feel seen, valued, and inspired to stay involved over the long term.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with federal policy consultant and tax lobbyist Sara Barba to unpack why this coming round of tax reform could have major consequences for charities, foundations, and donors alike. With deficits and debt weighing heavily on lawmakers, Sara explains why Washington may be looking for new sources of revenue and why philanthropy could end up in the crosshairs.<br /><br />Rick and Sara explore how the political environment heading into 2025 differs from the pro-growth mindset that shaped the 2017 tax law, why many members of Congress still lack a strong understanding of what the charitable sector actually does, and how tax changes could affect incentives for giving. Sara also offers a practical look at what nonprofits, donors, and sector leaders can do now to educate lawmakers, build relationships, and advocate for policies that protect charitable giving.

Ask for too much, and the conversation may feel awkward or unrealistic. Ask for too little, and nonprofits risk leaving significant resources on the table or worse, signaling that their ambitions are smaller than their mission demands. In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with veteran fundraising strategist Larry Raff to explore one of the most persistent challenges in philanthropy: determining the right amount to ask a major donor for a transformational gift.<br /><br />Larry shares the thinking behind the Abacus Major Donor Ask Calculator, a tool designed to turn donor research into confident, data-informed gift requests. Drawing on more than four decades of advancement experience, Larry explains why traditional wealth screening tools often fall short, how personal bias influences fundraising decisions, and why many organizations unknowingly undersell their biggest opportunities. The conversation also highlights how more accurate ask amounts can strengthen donor relationships, improve campaign planning, and help nonprofits avoid the costly mistakes of guesswork.

If you want to approach major gift conversations with greater confidence and precision, this episode offers a fascinating look at the science behind the art of fundraising.<br /><br /><br /><b>Contact Rick Peck:</b><br />Website: <a href="https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com</a><br />Email: ThePhilanthropyGuy@gmail.com<br />Book A call: <a href="https://calendar.app.google/axpBWYbMzZ4UY8tK8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rick Peck's Calendar</a><br />Sign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter: <a href="https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/o0P5UEI/thephilanthropyguy?source_type=lipo&amp;source_id=670802ff-63ae-4cdc-ba37-15128b8e7e78&amp;source_id=6b99ddc9-ad10-41eb-9ad3-f8bfc44de192&amp;source_type=em&amp;c=Qkt52a7LhPPWyffw4A6HpBLdRd16qiwN5qs98FATJL5iWkzcjgkK3Q==" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Charitable Giving Newsletter</a><br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-peck/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Richard Peck</a><br /><br /><b>Contact Larry Raff:</b><br />Website: <a href="https://www.donorabacus.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Donor Abacus | Make Every Ask Count</a>]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>2359</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>donorstrategy,fundraisingstrategy,fundraisingtools,majordonorfundraising,majorgifts,moneytogivepodcast,nonprofitgrowth,nonprofitleadership,philanthropy,rickpeck,strategicgiving</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/eac9103ca5780c9603b48fe4e4d6271d.jpg"/><itunes:episode>10</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Ep. 9 How Global Nonprofits Build Donor Trust And Funding In A Complex World with Stephanie Guzman</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/ep-9-how-global-nonprofits-build-donor-trust-and-funding-in-a-complex-world-with-stephanie-guzman--69185159</link><description><![CDATA[International nonprofits face many of the same fundraising challenges as organizations in the United States but often with even greater complexity. In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Stephanie Guzman of the Kenya Education Fund to explore how globally focused nonprofits build sustainable donor relationships while navigating limited resources, cultural differences, and the logistical challenges of working across continents. Stephanie shares how her organization has helped more than 4,000 students in Kenya access education while maintaining an impressive 99% transition rate from high school to college.<br /><br />Rick and Stephanie dive into the strategies that help international nonprofits thrive, including innovative virtual fundraising events, leveraging platforms like LinkedIn Live, building strategic partnerships with larger NGOs, and using technology to reach donors around the world. They also discuss the importance of donor stewardship, transparency, and storytelling especially when supporters may never visit the communities they’re helping.

Yet many nonprofits continue to focus almost exclusively on cash donations. In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Brad Caswell of Charitable Solutions to explore why this disconnect exists and how nonprofits can unlock significant new opportunities by becoming more open to non-cash asset gifts. Drawing from his experience as the former Chief Operating Officer of Vanguard Charitable and his work facilitating complex charitable gifts, Brad explains the mindset shifts nonprofits need to make to tap into six-, seven-, and even eight-figure donations that often sit outside a donor’s checkbook.<br /><br />Rick and Brad also discuss the fears and misconceptions that prevent organizations from exploring non-cash gifts, including past negative experiences, confusing gift acceptance policies, and concerns about managing complicated assets. Brad shares practical insights on how gift officers can keep the door open to these opportunities by asking better questions, leaning on trusted experts, and focusing first on the donor’s passion for the mission rather than the mechanics of the gift.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with planned giving expert Joe Tumolo to explore why fundraisers should focus on building relationships first before diving into the mechanics of charitable trusts, bequests, and other planned giving tools. Joe shares his philosophy of staying “above the line,” meaning fundraisers should prioritize listening, curiosity, and rapport with donors long before discussing specific giving strategies.<br /><br />Rick and Joe walk through practical examples of donor conversations, including how meaningful listening can uncover deeper motivations for giving and create stronger long-term partnerships between donors and institutions. They also discuss why many gift officers get stuck focusing too quickly on technical details, how board members can play a powerful role in stewarding legacy donors, and why planned giving should be seen as everyone’s responsibility within an organization.

In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck, the Philanthropy Guy, sits down with philanthropy operations expert Jenny Kleintop to discuss why messy databases and broken data systems can quietly derail even the most passionate fundraising programs.
