Meet The Generosity Commission’s new Co-Chair, Mike Gianoni

August 9, 2022: Blackbaud president and CEO Mike Gianoni joins forces with Aspen Institute Vice President Jane Wales to lead the effort to understand how generosity supports a thriving democracy.

“His leadership at Blackbaud has expanded our understanding of generosity’s many forms and has streamlined people’s ability to give their time and resources in ways that align with their values. His deep knowledge of how and why people give and volunteer—and what would ease the process—will be of enormous value to our work.”

+ Who is the Generosity Commission?

October 12, 2021: Americans are stressed, and The Generosity Commission is exploring the reimagination of philanthropy, volunteerism, and community in the midst of a national need.

Through fresh research and by stimulating a national conversation, the group’s goal is not only to understand trends around generosity, but also point to the future of philanthropy and other forms of civic engagement in America.
