More Than Money: Reciprocal Generosity with Rachel D’Souza

In our premiere episode of The Generosity Experience, we start with a powerful reminder from Abby Jarvis: 96.9% of donors give under $5,000 annually. What does that reveal about the everyday donor—and why does it matter? Abby breaks it down in our first “Big Number” segment.

Then, Tim Sarrantonio sits down with Rachel D’Souza, founder of Gladiator Consulting, to explore the idea of reciprocal generosity. Sparked by a hallway conversation at AFPICON, Rachel unpacks how generosity becomes transformational when it’s mutual—not just monetary. From small habits that lead to big change to her favorite “generosity recipe,” Rachel brings both clarity and heart.

We close with a reflection on The Generosity Spectrum—where theory meets tools—and a preview of what’s to come in future episodes.
