Trust first
The way back starts around one table
01
Trust
We get to know each other before we ask anything of each other.
02
Identity
You find out what kind of giver you already are.
03
Generosity
Then giving comes easy, because now it's for people you know.

How it started
Two partners, one table
Ben Williams runs the Connect Center for Youth in Cohoes. Tim Sarrantonio built the Generosity Roundtable at The Generosity Spectrum. They took the game to National Harbor, sat down with leaders from across the country, and came home with a seat in the GivingTuesday network.
Now that table comes back to Cohoes, and you're invited.
