In this episode of Owning Your Legacy, Laurette sits down with Alex Johnston, the founder and president of Building Impact Partners, a philanthropy advising firm that works together with changemakers to help people, communities, and society move forward for good. Alex is also the author of Money With Meaning: How to Create Joy and Impact Through Philanthropy.
With over two decades of advising clients on how to give their money, Alex is a wealth of information when it comes to meaningful giving through philanthropy. In fact, Building Impact Partners has helped its clients give away over $1 billion since 2012. And still, with so much money sitting on the sidelines, there is ample opportunity for more.
Alex breaks it all down for us, from the psychology of giving to why we tend to shy away from talking about money, and how to know your money is actually being used for good. He also shares the distinction between meaningful giving, selfish giving, spiritless giving, and senseless giving—a topic his book discusses in greater detail.
