Summary
Tim has always been a builder—of community, of meaning, and of momentum in the nonprofit space. In this episode, he shares his journey from academia to nonprofit leadership, weaving in lessons from taekwondo, personal loss, and years of championing generosity at scale. Set against the insights of the latest Generosity Report, this episode challenges the sector to shift from scarcity to abundance, from metrics to meaning, and from data to deeper connection. It's a call to realign fundraising with humanity—and to remember that trust isn't surged, it’s built.
