Promoting Generosity Project,
The Promoting Generosity project Hub has produced the second in a series of papers exploring aspects of generosity.
The purpose of the series is to stimulate discussion between the Promoting Generosity initiative Hub members, advisors and others in order to guide the work of the Hub and help inform others working to promote giving at a local level.
What value do we place on generosity? examines the benefits that stem from generosity for givers, receivers and the community as a whole.
The paper identifies the following benefits to society as a whole:
Benefits to the community and voluntary sector and individual and business givers are also identified in the paper.
Although we cannot say in any measurable way that we have less generosity in New Zealand today than we have had in the past, the Promoting Generosity Hub has received indications that many people, both in New Zealand and abroad, would like to see more generosity, more giving, and a greater sense of community than exists today. This is even more important during a period of economic downturn.
