Hey friends,

If you’d love to foster the joy of giving in your kids, but are boycotting the holiday shopping season, here’s a few resources to help.

Let’s Explore Radical Generosity

“Radical generosity does not mean throwing gifts at everyone we know, just for the sake of giving. It’s not showing up to every invitation. Radical generosity means listening to what people really need, understanding how supporting them benefits our wider community – and then asking ourselves if we’re willing, and able to help them get there.”

Find children’s books and discussion questions to start talking about radical generosity with your kids in our Radical Generosity Toolkit.

Radical Generosity For Kids

All the activities and books in our toolkit share the same basic premises:

We give what we have excess of
We accept what we need
We communicate and keep our boundaries strong
Instead of 1:1 transaction, generosity is about contributing to the community good to keep resources in circulation for all

I would love to flesh out this toolkit with more activities, books for more age ranges, and bonus resources.
