   Matt Coleman of Giving Multiplier

   Today’s episode is about a simple but powerful idea: we all want our giving to matter. Most donors give from habit or emotion alone, supporting the same causes year after year. But as today’s guest, Matt Coleman, Executive Director of Giving Multiplier, explains, there are also opportunities to give in ways that can be dramatically more effective—sometimes doing far more good per dollar than we might expect. In this conversation, Matt shares how Giving Multiplier helps donors bridge the gap between the causes they care about personally and expert-recommended charities with exceptional impact. It is a practical, thoughtful approach that combines heart and head—allowing donors to support meaningful organizations while also increasing the effectiveness of their giving. As you listen, think about your own charitable giving. Are you giving the way you always have, or are there ways to make your generosity more intentional, more informed, and more impactful? This episode may help you take the next step. For more information on Giving Multiplier, visit https://givingmultiplier.org/intelligence
