Who We Are — Generosity Path | Conversations about the transforming power of living generously

It all started with four friends

Back in the 90s, giving was at an all-time low among Christians, and four friends set out to find out how they could turn the tide.

They started by talking to people they knew who were living outrageously generous lives, and noticed that each carried a sense of incredible joy as a result of their giving.

It all clicked into place: by removing any pressure on themselves and trusting in God as the provider of all their finances, they could experience full freedom and be bold with their giving!

Now, anyone can join

In 2000, the Maclellan Foundation funded the launch of Generous Giving in the United States to create a neutral place for these conversations.

Generosity knows no borders, and soon people around the world started asking us to bring these conversations into their country and in their language.

In 2012, Generosity Path was created to take this conversation global. We host experiences to explore Jesus-like generosity through conversations with peers, whether in the board room or the living room, online or in-person. We are still privately funded by a small group of foundations and individual givers today, so we never have to raise money at any of our events.

Our desire is for hearts to be captured by Jesus’ teaching that it is more blessed to give than to receive. We want our retreat participants to feel liberated by having like-minded people to speak with, and be inspired to build community in their giving.

And be part of the movement of generosity

With contributors such as Francis Chan, Hanna Verboom, and Tim Keller, we keep on learning together. We're not here to teach you or tell you how to give. We're here to share a story, start the conversation, and look on in wonder at what God does next.

We believe that radical, Jesus-like generosity leads to communities united, the homeless housed, the hungry fed, the vulnerable protected, and the unreached embraced. This is the adventure that will forever change our lives, communities, and world!

Generosity Path is privately funded, so you’ll never be asked for money. Ever.

Here is our agenda: we want to give you the gift of conversation. We want your heart to be captured by Jesus and generosity and to create a place to figure out what that means for your journey. In other words, we don’t want something from you, we want something for you.

Nope! We never tell people how they should give, where they should give, or how much they should give. In fact, all our hosts sign a promise not to allow the promotion of specific ministries or giving opportunities so that this stays a completely safe place to explore generosity.

Our Christian faith guides everything we do, but we do not belong or subscribe to any one denomination. People of all faiths and none are welcome at all our events and retreats!
