Can collaborative giving boost generosity?
Jason Proulx
How does our enjoyment of giving to charity change in the short and long term? Does giving with others increase our enjoyment of giving and generosity? Could collaborative giving increase lifetime generosity? Should your charity invest in encouraging supporters to give collaboratively?
In this episode, you’ll hear from Jason Proulx, a PhD student at Simon Fraser University. You can find out more about Jason’s work on Google Scholar and Twitter.
This conversation was based on a research paper published by Jason Proulx, Lara Aknin, and Alixandra Barasch called Let’s give together: Can collaborative giving boost generosity?
