Rethinking Charity: Jasmijn Melse’s Giving Vision

In her insightful TED Talk, Jasmijn Melse challenges the traditional mindset around charitable giving. She emphasizes that while large donations often make headlines, it's the consistent, intentional giving from everyday people that can drive long-term change. Melse believes that each donor, regardless of how much they give, has the power to make philanthropy more human-centered, impactful, and sustainable.

She encourages individuals to look beyond one-time donations and instead support causes with a deeper sense of purpose and personal connection. By rethinking how we choose, engage with, and fund nonprofits, we can shift from transactional giving to transformational support.

🎥 Watch the full talk to rethink your role in creating social impact.
