On this episode of The Heart of Giving, host Art Taylor speaks with philanthropist and founder Dominic Kalms. Dominic has made a name for himself in the nonprofit space. He recently created a “pay over time” donation option, “B Generous,” for nonprofits. This allows people to make small donations that add up over time and help fund projects that are important to them.
The two discuss how Dominic got into philanthropy and how he discovered his passion for helping others. Dominic has been a longtime advocate for nonprofits, and he shares his thoughts on how they can better engage their constituents.
In this episode, you will learn:
- How donations for non-profits are inconsistent
- What actions help increase funding
- The success of B Generous
- How Dominic thrives when solving complex problems
Dominic Kalms shares insights on how most donations come in the last quarter of the year. This means companies are considering tax breaks during this time, and paying over time allows the non-profits to have funding immediately instead of waiting for this period.
Dominic discusses the patterns among those who donate, including higher credit and extra income. He also shares some tips for improving your giving habits, including ways to make sure you’re giving to a cause that matters to you.
Additional topics discussed:
- How people donate to charities that are personal to them
- Why “pay over time” increases the likelihood of donation
- The expenses of starting and running a non-profit
- Dominic’s future plans to help improve the world
