  • Inspiring and informative

    The Giving Done Right podcast has really hit the spot with my current questions of where to direct my giving and how to think about that. I especially enjoyed S2E4, “Finding Your Lane“ with Jeremy Lin and S2E10, “Giving Cash to Those in Need“ which addressed long-standing questions I’ve had about directly giving cash to the poor. Thanks, Grace and Phil, for the inspiring addition to my podcast feed!
