 The Generosity Plan
Many of us have the desire to make a difference. But when it comes down to it, how many really know what steps to take and how to fit it into our lives? The Generosity Plan shows readers the unexpected benefits and joy of generosity in our daily loves. This smart, practical guide to philanthropy illuminates the power of giving by discovering what inspires each reader, clarifying what he or she can afford to give, and directing that generosity towards a better world. Contributing time or money to causes far removed from the immediacy of our individual lives may feel overwhelming, especially in times of financial stress and uncertainty. Author Kathy LeMay breaks through these initial roadblocks to give easy and valuable tools to spur definite and rewarding action, demonstrating how our time, treasure, and talents can make a world of difference. By creating and acting on a generosity plan, each one of us can create change simply by doing what we can, where we are, with what we have.
 Kathy LeMay is the founder, president and CEO of Raising Change, which helps organizations raise capital to advance social change agendas and philanthropic individuals with social action planning worldwide. Kathy, who began her global activism in war-torn Yugoslavia where she worked with women survivors of the siege and rape-genocide camps, has been a social change fundraiser for fifteen years, raising millions of dollars in the fields of women’s human rights, hunger and poverty relief, HIV/AIDS, and movement-building. Kathy has provided social-change fundraising and generosity trainings to hundreds of organizations throughout the world—including top-level executives at, JP Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, and CitiFinancial—as well as being a prolific public speaker on strategies that advance the movement for justice and empower women to come into their own voices. She has appeared on numerous TV and radio shows including Oxygen TV and the Oprah Winfrey Show.
