    S03 EP4 - Generations of Giving - Andine Sutarjadi, 21/64

    Happy National Philanthropy Day! As volunteers, donors, donor advisors, and philanthropists, there are many reasons we give (and even more causes to give to), but what truly connects us to our giving? Maybe we are giving to the communities from which we originate. Or maybe it's religious or obligation or tradition or location. Or maybe we are grappling with where our wealth and privileges come from. In this episode, Andine, Director at 21/64, guides us in finding the purpose and meaning behind our giving and using them to strategize toward the world we all dream of. So, WGP community, what drives you to give back? You can find 21/64 here: https://2164.net/ X: @2164buzz LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/2164philanthropy/
