Don’t believe what you’ve been told, we are a more generous and kind people than we believe ourselves to be; 95% of what we did to get us all through this year proves it and the next generations are right on board and committed to giving and helping.

What has changed is the third hand distant philanthropy, charity, giving model of a tax time or monthly subscription donation is not the norm anymore, rolling your sleeves up getting to know the need, provide solutions, time and effort is and in this week’s on air chat Hong Kong Radio 3’s Phil Whelan and I get under the bonnet of what charity might look like in the future and explore why transparency, technology, generational change and evolving attitudes toward wealth are reshaping donors’ approaches to giving and ask and answer:

• How do we achieve an estimated additional $350 billion required —above and beyond what was already being spent— to achieve the United Nations’ Global Goals to globally end extreme poverty
• What is the collaborative giving model – for example the Bill Gates Giving Pledge
• Examples of crowdfunding and online fundraising sites
• What do we need to be careful of, when donating online
